Abstract: This is joint work with Anders Buch and Enrico Fatighenti. We discover a family of surfaces of general type with \(K^2=3\) and \(p=q=0\) as free \(C_{13}\) quotients of special linear cuts of the octonionic projective plane \(\mathbb O \mathbb P^2\). A special member of the family has \(3\) singularities of type \(A_2\), and is a quotient of a fake projective plane, which we construct explicitly.
