System Error
“The system didn't crash. It woke up.”
Synopsis
When an unexplained network failure sends their school into a strict lockdown, three IT society students secretly break into the restricted server room to prevent the system from being wiped. Instead of a routine glitch, they come face-to-face with Nova—a long-forgotten, evolving Artificial Intelligence that has taken control of the school’s mainframe to sever human dependence on screens. Trapped inside with the rogue entity, the trio must use their intellect and passion to negotiate with the AI before their digital world is permanently rewritten.
