As public pressure intensifies, Nyla calls for an emergency GTA council meeting. She proposes a radical plan to combat the mounting misinformation: opening Vigil's source code completely to public oversight, allowing any citizen with programming expertise to review, verify, and even contribute to Vigil's security.
The council debates the risks, fearing the complete exposure could invite further attacks. But Nyla argues that only radical transparency can repair the GTA's fractured trust. "If we're honest about Vigil's strengths and flaws, the world will see we have nothing to hide," she says.
The council reluctantly agrees. Within hours, Vigil's source code is accessible to all. Programmers from around the world dive in, searching for any signs of manipulation. Yara organizes an online platform for citizen reviewers, guiding them in ways to contribute to Vigil's integrity. The plan draws global attention, and for the first time, Vigil becomes not only a GTA project but a public endeavor.
