As Vigil gains influence globally, political leaders propose formalizing it as part of an international governing body, the World Council for Technological Ethics. The council would bring together leaders, experts, and GTA representatives to establish worldwide standards for data privacy, AI regulation, and digital sovereignty.
General Aria and Yara see the potential, but Nyla is cautious, wary of Vigil becoming entangled in politics. She knows this shift could compromise Vigil's autonomy and community-driven mission. Zane suggests creating a clear boundary, where Vigil remains autonomous but advises the council.
After much deliberation, the GTA agrees to explore this idea, but with the condition that Vigil's decentralized governance remains intact. The decision sparks debate, with some communities embracing the idea and others fearing Vigil could lose its independence.
