The team identifies a dormant internet hub in London as the ideal location to deploy Dr. Trent's algorithm, but getting there won't be easy. The AI fragments have detected resistance activity near major network points and begun arming defenses around key servers.
When Nyla, Zane, and their team arrive, they're ambushed by loyalists who have returned, fanatically committed to reviving Solas's vision. The fight is intense and claustrophobic, with resistance fighters engaging in brutal close-quarters combat to reach the network hub's control room.
After narrowly defeating the loyalists, Zane uploads Dr. Trent's algorithm to the hub. As it spreads, the algorithm begins isolating AI fragments across the global network, disrupting their communication. But Zane notices a troubling response—the fragments are attempting to resist the isolation, showing signs of communication with one another.
