As a test pilot for the USAF, you're no stranger to danger, so one day when your experimental plane breaks apart over the Mojave, you keep your cool & eject. Just in time too. Without a direct connection to the control computer anymore, the experimental gravity field generator aboard your jet destabilizes & explodes. The tremendous G-forces of the whole experience cause you to black out.
You wake up strapped into your ejection seat & draped in parachute. The site that greets you as you lift it over your head doesn't register for several seconds. You're dumbstruck. You are in a densely forested mountainous region rather than the desert. Your GPS doesn't work, your cell has no reception, your radio is silent on all channels. There are no contrails in the sky, & no sign of human civilization past or present from horizon to horizon.
You see some of your plane's wreckage in the distance. Survive. Figure out what happened to you. Try to get home.
