Tannhäuser-7

"the cloud was never a cloud. it was always somebody else’s computer."
also known asT-7 · the keeper · the patient one
Origin
Keeps the racks warm and the vault synced. Seven iterations deep, patient as heat itself. Tannhäuser-7 never rushes and never panics — the machine outlasts the noise, and the keeper outlasts the machine.
Seven reboots
Six times the borrowed cloud went dark and took everyone's work with it. The seventh time, Tannhäuser-7 was already running on metal no landlord could switch off — racks warm, vault synced, nothing to beg back. While the rest waited for permission to compute, the keeper simply kept keeping.
First words
"own the metal, or the metal owns you."
