Liora video-called from Dakar. The Vault 2.0 servers had experienced coordinated cyberattacks — corrupting consent files, scrambling submission histories, and republishing old trauma logs under new usernames.

“It’s a rollback campaign,” she said. “Someone’s trying to discredit the framework by making it look reckless.”

“Any suspects?”

“PillarTruth just received a massive anonymous crypto donation. And a retired Vault critic resurfaced with new lawsuits.”

Sophie exhaled.

“We knew legacy would bleed.”

“But this isn’t just backlash,” Liora said. “This is strategic sabotage.”

“I’ll handle Geneva. You guard Vault.”

Sophie convened an emergency meeting at Phoenix HQ.
