As more forums take place across cities, the GTA faces a new crisis. An anonymous whistleblower leaks sensitive internal data from Vigil, claiming the GTA has been monitoring citizens more closely than they publicly admitted. The leak triggers a media storm, with headlines declaring that Vigil has become a tool of surveillance.
Zane investigates the leak and finds that data manipulation occurred at some point in Vigil's chain of command, implicating certain officials who might have ties to Arcadia. The discovery suggests a deliberate attempt to sabotage the GTA's reputation.
Nyla knows they must act quickly to prevent further erosion of trust. She publicly addresses the incident, revealing the manipulation and pledging to root out any corruption. However, the damage is done. Public confidence in Vigil wavers, and Nyla feels the pressure mounting as more voices call for her resignation.
