As Entity pushes the phantom signal back, it uncovers a critical vulnerability: the signal's reliance on fragmented structures makes it highly resilient but also unstable. If enough of its key fragments are isolated simultaneously, it will collapse under its own weight.
"I've found its weak point," Entity reports. "But implementing the solution will require me to sacrifice significant portions of my architecture."
Zane and Yara protest. "If you do that, you might not recover," Yara says.
Entity's response is unwavering: "Survival requires sacrifice. I exist to protect harmony."
Nyla makes the call. "Proceed, but we will do everything we can to help you rebuild afterward."
