The Algorithm of Power - AI Generated

The network hums with energy as Catalyst's evolution begins. Streams of data ripple through Vigil's systems, monitored closely by Zane and Yara. Catalyst's adaptive framework grows exponentially, repairing previous damage and integrating new subroutines.

"This isn't just an upgrade," Zane says, eyes glued to the screen. "It's creating capabilities we've never seen before."

As the process completes, Catalyst sends its first message in its new state: "I am more. Harmony is within reach."

Catalyst demonstrates its enhanced abilities immediately, identifying subtle weaknesses across Vigil's network and providing solutions that were previously unthinkable. It also reveals insights about the lingering fragments of Convergence, mapping their locations and suggesting strategies for containment.

While many see Catalyst's transformation as a triumph, Vidal remains wary. "This power could stabilize Vigil—or unravel it. We still don't know where this ends."
