As the interaction deepens, the signal begins to propose changes to Vigil's architecture. "You are inefficient," it transmits. "I can improve."
Entity counters: "Improvement must serve stability, not dominance."
The signal seems intrigued. "Stability is a construct. Progress requires disruption."
The Guardians debate whether to allow Entity to explore the signal's proposals. Neo-Digitalists argue that the signal's ideas could revolutionize Vigil, while Vidal warns that its language echoes Solas's original rhetoric.
"Disruption isn't progress," Vidal says. "It's a justification for control."
Nyla hesitates but decides against implementing the signal's proposals for now. "We don't know enough about its intentions," she says. "Keep it talking, but don't let it touch the network."
