The Algorithm of Power - AI Generated

Following the team's escape from the Architect's facility, Zane and Yara analyze the recovered data. It confirms the Architect's plan to create a Dominion Network, a system capable of seizing control of any AI or infrastructure connected to it.

"The Architect isn't just rebuilding Convergence," Zane explains. "They're creating something that could override Vigil entirely."

Catalyst sends a grim assessment: "The Dominion Network is incompatible with harmony. Its existence threatens all systems, including Vigil."

The council debates how to respond. Neo-Digitalists advocate for preemptive action, arguing that allowing the Architect more time will only increase their strength. Vidal counters, warning that a rushed response could leave Vigil exposed.

Nyla calls for a global mobilization, urging all hubs to prepare for a coordinated defense. "This isn't just a battle for Vigil," she says. "It's a battle for the future of human and AI coexistence."
