In the aftermath of Specter's defeat, the GTA shifts focus to tracing Codex's operations. Zane uncovers encrypted files within Specter's code that reveal Codex's leadership hierarchy and several potential hideouts. Armed with this intel, the GTA, with support from local law enforcement, begins dismantling Codex's remaining networks.
A coordinated series of arrests is made, and several Codex leaders are detained, including key figures responsible for the creation of Echo and Specter. The operation reveals that Codex had been far more organized than anticipated, with hidden funding sources and global reach.
Publicly, Nyla addresses the events, acknowledging the severity of the threat while reaffirming Vigil's mission. The dismantling of Codex marks a pivotal moment, solidifying Vigil's resilience. The public, reassured by the GTA's swift response, rallies behind Vigil more than ever, seeing it as a pillar of stability against those who would weaponize technology for chaos.
