The Gardener is a construct of the God Garden, a space ship that satellites the Earth. It's a refuge for people like me who have been experimented on, or generally goes against nature. It also houses black science, short for black market science, technology created by people who try to play god and lose.
Some of the science got loose and Dickie and I were on opposite sides tracking it all down. The last piece we needed to collect was at a concert in Tel Aviv. Dickie and I wanted to go get it and save everyone there. Gardener wanted them all to die so the world could see what black science was capable of and discourage further use. She was right, I knew she was right. Probability-wise, she was absolutely right. But we weren't going to let that happen.
I tried the whole covert thing for a little bit. Didn't like it much. The job was interesting, but the payoff wasn't worth it. I decided that when it comes to my life, the one I have now, I've got nothing to hide.
