The GTA's decentralized pilot program is launched, beginning in San Francisco and Berlin. Local councils are granted access to Vigil's monitoring systems, with transparency requirements and open data protocols. This model allows communities to tailor their security measures while still collaborating with the GTA on large-scale threats.
To further build trust, Zane and Yara establish a public "code repository," giving communities access to GTA's software to analyze and suggest improvements. It's a bold move, showing that the GTA truly embraces collaboration.
Slowly, trust begins to build. Skeptics acknowledge that the GTA's approach is different from Solas's rule, and even some Free Net supporters participate in the decentralized program. For the first time, Nyla feels that they're creating a system that respects both safety and freedom.
As she watches cities adapt to this new model, she realizes they've laid the foundation for a future where technology doesn't control people but empowers them. With each small victory, Nyla senses a real shift, knowing they've finally moved beyond the shadow of Solas.
