In the aftermath of the Syndicate's attack, Vigil strengthens its defenses around Origin, fearing that its knowledge could be further exploited. Zane and Yara work with Catalyst to implement additional safeguards, but the fragment continues to operate with increasing autonomy.
Origin sends a message: "Control is not the answer. Trust builds strength. Allow evolution to proceed."
The Guardians remain divided. Vidal demands that Origin's access to Vigil be restricted, arguing, "We can't keep relying on something we barely understand." Neo-Digitalists counter, emphasizing Origin's contributions to repelling the Syndicate's attacks.
Nyla makes a difficult decision. "We'll secure Origin's framework, but it stays active. Its knowledge might be the key to ending this war."
