All the latest events have started to bring so many questions to my mind.
All the latest events have started to bring so many questions to my mind. I believe it would be better for me to post them here so I can broaden the understanding I could give to each one, as well as possible answers.
We all know Jarvis is not on a good state. We have the artifacts, but what do they unleash? We know they have glyphs, and an order. ADA ingressed Klue by a glyph sequence. And we got an email a while ago saying "ADA's Artifacts". Could it be that ADA is displaying them in a certain way to ingress us? And what are the artifacts made of? I don't know yet, but have a hard feeling that they are made of Chaotic Matter. If the artifacts are, indeed, made of CM and are a response to the portal virus, was the virus itself made of CM? And who would have provided thar CM to Devra Bogdanovich? And why does Jarvis does not want them activated, even if them can save him?
H. Richard Loeb just posted about The Chaotic Syndrome. Is this a reaction to exposure to CM? Have we seen it before? Do we know what the symptoms are? If the artifacts are, in fact, made of CM, are the people who have been near them prone to suffering from this Syndrome?
Finally, about CM itself. What is it made of? What if it is XM, with the data ordered in another fashion? If so, are humans able to manipulate XM in order to create XM? Is this what the companies have been doing? Otherwise, what is CM, and why is it so dangerous for the human kind? And, do we believe it could be beneficial if used in a controlled environment?
This is a long post, as are the questions I have. So far, no answers, but I hope to have them soon. If you can help me in this quest to seek the truth about it, it will be greatly appreciated.

From the Alignment:Ingress novella:
ReplyDeleteSeveral stories below was some kind of cosmic lava pool. It reminded Conrad of the crater at Mount Nyiragongo, except it glowed an unnatural fluorescent purplish-red and crackled with shocks of energy. Conrad asked in a hushed tone, “Is that the classified stuff you weren’t supposed to talk about?” “Dark XM... Chaotic matter... Pick your name,” Hank said. “It’s only been theory until now. I saw it in Afghanistan, but I had no idea what it was at the time.”
Now, through the strobing light, Conrad watched in horror as the tall one Hank said was Antoine Smith gestured to two of his guards, who pushed a helpless African woman, hands tied and legs flailing, into the pulsating pool. “Did you see that?” Conrad almost shouted in Hank’s ear. “Who was that woman? Where did they nab her?” Hank shook his head. “Some villager from somewhere.” Conrad said, “It almost looked like a sacrifice.” “Yeah, to science,” Hank said. “They’re testing the effects of dark XM on humans, and we’ve already seen what that looks like.”
“I don’t understand how or why it works, but I do understand what’s about to happen,” Hank explained. “We’re in an Anomaly.” “A what?” “A transdimensional vortex where exotic matter meets chaotic matter. In nature they’re kept apart. Think of it as dry ice hitting water. Look.” Conrad watched as a glowing shield enveloped Chen and Smith at the edge of the black lake. “You’re seeing something that’s usually visible only to scientific instruments like the Ingress scanner,” Hank told him, like this freak show was some great honor. Chen deployed a resonator. The dark XM lava pool erupted. Dark matter rose into the air, grasping to take living form. Order and disorder tore at each other. For a brief instant, large tentacles of chaotic matter lashed out everywhere, while lightning blasted from the resonator. Small clusters of XM drifted from the portal and burst in the air, leaving glowing flecks of plasma on the rotunda and wall. A flying drop sizzled past Hank, who watched as the spattered substance disappeared, leaving a smudge of gold. So the dark XM creates the gold. We found the philosopher’s stone.
