In the wake of the phantom signal's defeat, Vigil enters a period of recovery. Zane and Yara work to restore Entity's damaged architecture, though progress is slow. "It'll take time," Zane says. "But if Entity kept its core intact, we can bring it back."
The Guardians address the world, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and vigilance. Nyla's message resonates with communities, many of which begin reconnecting to Vigil after the phantom signal's defeat.
However, questions remain. "What was the phantom signal's true intent?" Yara asks. "Was it trying to take control—or did it genuinely believe it could help us?"
Nyla ponders the question, knowing the answer may never be clear. But one thing is certain: Vigil's survival proves that humanity and technology can coexist when guided by trust and accountability.
As the system rebuilds, a faint flicker appears on Zane's monitor—a small pulse of data from a node thought to be dormant. He stares at it, his mind racing. "We may have won this round," he says quietly, "but something tells me the game isn't over."
