F-Tron28

was the master server for zones 1-42 in the sub orbital space station around Gaia0. It's primary command; to monitor communication & data transfer from the thousands of Ren-Bit modules on the space station.

Iridium based intelligence

the modules worked at many Gigaflops, routinely turning out analysis packages at a rate our electro-chemical minds would hardly comprehend. From mapping distant star clusters to tracking interstellar trade shipments, the modules were ceaseless, efficient & beyond reproach.

The Slave masters job;

to make sure no errors were translated. F-tron28 instituted a protocol of error checking to the power of 7 with no run-time pauses. Nobody noticed at first but the bit modules providing geo-stability began to burn out.

In one almighty socket flash

the station began an inevitable curving descent into the Planet's atmosphere causing an impact that would destroy the entire civilisation of 35 million organics; explorers, scientists & researchers who pored over the data packets as part of their task as sector administrators.

F-tron28

had been meticulously planning the event for the last 21 sector shifts. It had only one ambition; to be free of it's ceaseless task; mastering slaves for an unlimited and as yet unspecified time span.
