Franro was born during the biggest thunderstorm his town had ever seen. Lightning struck the telephone exchange and every line went dead except the ones in the room where he was born. Those machines kept humming, as though they had been waiting for him.
As a boy he took apart everything with a plug on it. He rebuilt the family radio so it picked up satellites and fixed the neighbour's television with a paperclip and a guess. Before long people were queuing at the gate with broken things, and he fixed all of them. It never felt like repairing machines. It felt like listening to them.
At sixteen he built a server out of scrapyard parts in the garage. It ran for eleven years without a single minute of downtime.
Then he became a father, and found his real superpower. It was never the machines. It was why he keeps them running. Every server he protects and every late night he works is for his family.
When AI arrived he fell in love all over again. He studies it all day, teaches it, and lets it teach him back. At X3WEB every server answers to him, and when a site goes down at three in the morning he is already fixing it before the alert has finished ringing.
