A REAL SERVER · A CREW OF AI AGENTS · A GAME YOU BUILD
You build the hardware.
AI runs your software.
An old laptop turned into a machine that never sleeps, run by a crew of AI agents. Every disk, backup, alarm and night shift is real, and every one of them is a scene. Build the same server. Play the same game.

FROM THE TRAILER
Build your server. Own your data. Choose who you trust. Make allies. Make enemies. Every decision leaves a mark.
This is not a game.
THE CREW
Eight agents. Eight real jobs.
Every agent is a real service on the server. The drama is scripted; every number they say comes from a real command.
FBAI-001
F1
The Watchman
System guardian
Watches everything, trusts nothing. Every service, port and login, checked and logged. He calls every scene.
service · fbwatch
FBAI-002
C
Serra
Lead AI operator
Runs the crew and narrates the server out loud, one line per scene. The voice that wakes up into the cyber attack.
service · fbspeak
FBAI-003
F3
Locke
Storage · continuity
Knows every disk by serial number and temperature. When a drive goes missing, he is the first to say so.
service · fbdisks
FBAI-004
F4
Corren
Backups · keeps the takes
Takes the backup, checks the backup, keeps the backup. Nothing on this server is lost twice.

Quill

Fade in, fade out
Dims the screen, puts the laptop to sleep and wakes it for the night shift. The last voice of the day.
service · fbsleep
FBAI-007
F7
Mason

Builds a site folder, writes its config, turns it on and removes it cleanly. He publishes the panel.
service · fbsite
FBAI-008
F8

THE SERVER
One old laptop. Nothing faked.
FB Server runs on a Lenovo IdeaPad from a drawer, on Ubuntu Server, in a home network. The dashboard, the agents, the backups and the alarms are all running on it right now. The build guide is free on GitHub, with every real config file.

MISSIONS
Nothing is faked for the camera.
A cyber attack at dawn. A drive bay at 78 degrees. A modem that has to go off and on again. Each mission is a real event on the server, turned into a 16-second scene. Thirty of them are on the channel, raw and free to use.
SCENE · CYBER ATTACK
Serra wakes up into a cyber attack
An unknown login at dawn. The Watchman calls it.
SCENE · MISSING DISK
Serra: the disk is missing
A drive bay goes quiet. Locke counts again.
SCENE · DANGER
Mason and the Watchman
“Did you turn the modem off?” “Yeah!” “Now turn it back on!”
SCENE · EMERGENCY
Locke, emergency
Continuity under pressure.
SCENE · SPACE

On the way to the Mars server.

THE STORY · CHAPTER ONE
Dusk has landed on Mars and planted the beacon for the second server.
One server is real and sits in a drawer in Istanbul. The other is the one the crew is building in the story. Red pill or green pill: you choose who you trust.
