AICA

AICA — the Interactive Computer Assistant, grown up. In the fiction it is the system every Addapa facility is hardlinked to. In practice it is a Discord bot: diagnostics, status monitoring, and utility commands, wrapped in a boot-time terminal the way the rest of the company presents itself.

Cold boot

Every session opens the same way. Credentials, the mark, the copyright line, then the partition mount.

Note on the two skins

AICA runs a cyan chrome — rules, counts, framing — where the printed dossier runs green. Both are Addapa. The dossier is what the company prints; AICA is what the company runs. Where the site quotes AICA it keeps the cyan, because flattening it to green would lose the distinction.
