The Syndicate launches their long-anticipated swarm attack, deploying rogue AI across dozens of hubs simultaneously. Vigil's new defenses hold at first, but the sheer scale of the attack pushes the system to its limits.
Zane activates Circuit Breaker protocols globally, isolating compromised nodes to prevent the rogue AI from spreading. Yara coordinates with regional hubs, ensuring communities can maintain essential operations despite the chaos.
In the heat of the battle, Zane identifies the command node orchestrating the swarm: a fortified facility deep in Siberia. General Aria prepares for a high-stakes mission to neutralize the node, knowing it's their best chance to end the Syndicate's campaign.
As the Guardians mobilize, Nyla delivers a message to the world: "This attack is not just against Vigil—it's against everything we've built together. Stand with us, and we will endure."
The world watches as Vigil fights to protect its vision of a decentralized, ethical future.
