Declassified Archive
This is the only section where I stop narrating and simply tell you what this is. Everything else on this terminal is written in character. This page is not.
What AG Nova actually is
AG Nova is a creative exploration laboratory. In practice, that means it is a personal archive: a place where projects, half-finished experiments, passing obsessions, and the influences behind them are catalogued instead of forgotten.
It is not a company. It does not sell anything. Nothing on this terminal is trying to convert you into a client.
Why the fiction exists
Hobbies are more sustaining when they belong to something larger. A ship, a mission log, an archivist keeping records: the framing gives scattered work a shape it does not have on its own.
The fiction is also honest about its own purpose. Every project listed here is real. Every note describes something that actually happened. The ship is a filing system, not a lie.
Who is behind the archive
One person. Alessandro Grano, based in Italy, working in identity and access management by day and building things like this the rest of the time.
Staff count is one. The founder, the captain, the lead architect, the chief engineer, and the mission director are the same human being with a slightly overextended list of titles.
N.O.V.A. is a character. A useful one, because writing about your own unfinished work in the first person is uncomfortable, and letting a dry ship computer do it is considerably easier.
How to read the rest of this terminal
Mission Log holds the things that were built. Statuses are accurate: LIVE means you can actually use it, IN_DEV means it is being worked on, STANDBY means it is paused rather than dead, and DECOMMISSIONED means it is kept for the record.
Captain's Log holds thoughts and process notes, written as N.O.V.A. reporting on the captain. Observatory holds things not made here that shaped what is: games, design movements, aesthetics.
IDs, stardates, and telemetry readings are flavour. Everything attached to them is not.
