Phillips… or perhaps it should be called Sea God now.
It escaped.
At the moment of collision, Sea God immediately identified the incoming data from Black Wall and knew it was no match. There was no choice but to flee using Brigitte's network interface into the Night City regional network.
And the rest of this has nothing to do with the players.
The Sea God's subnetwork and Night City's regional network are physically separated in reality. The Voodoo Gang prepared in advance for Sea God's power, preventing exposure if Sea God left the subnetwork.
Yet, before disconnecting from the city's power grid company, she was pulled back to Sea God's subnetwork. If Brigitte hadn't relinquished control, Sea God couldn't forcibly intervene, but now all that's left of Brigitte is a puppet shell controlled by AI, leaving Sea God to manipulate it.
Moving into the municipal network was akin to committing suicide.
