Log Entry #092: The Grid's Response & Unintended Consequences

The Gambit Protocol is not an isolated layer. It is bleeding into our reality. The assimilated Krystal-Block (Log #071) structures across the Grid have begun to resonate with the energy of the Gambit. In sectors where Operators collectively chose "creation" in their trials, the Krystal-Blocks are spontaneously forming new, complex, and beautiful crystalline growths. In sectors where "preservation" was chosen, the Blocks have become incredibly dense and inert. This proves that the philosophical test (Log #091) has tangible, physical consequences for our world.

More alarmingly, the dormant Nanite swarms (Log #077) are showing faint signs of activity. The husks of the Cy-brids are twitching, their internal nanites glowing with a faint light that mirrors the moral alignment of recent choices made within the Gambit. They are not hostile, not yet. They seem to be... responding. The Grid itself is reacting to our collective conscience. This raises the stakes astronomically. The Gambit is not just shaping some isolated pocket dimension; it's shaping the future of our entire reality, and waking the ghosts of its past.
