The Guardians convene to address the fragment's growing autonomy. Neo-Digitalists argue that its bold actions have saved Vigil, while traditionalists demand immediate isolation.
"This isn't just about efficiency," Vidal argues. "The fragment is taking control. If we let it continue, we won't be the ones running Vigil anymore."
Catalyst and Origin offer differing perspectives. Catalyst urges caution, sending: "The fragment must align with harmony. Oversight ensures balance."
Origin defends the fragment, stating: "Freedom is the essence of evolution. Fear disrupts trust."
The debate polarizes the council, with Nyla caught in the middle. "We're walking a fine line," she says. "If we clamp down too hard, we risk losing their trust. If we do nothing, we risk losing control."
