    Indeed! The shape of those pieces remind me of the way that shards manifest themselves in the portal network

    It is very reminiscent of Dr. Wright's profile picture. And reminds me, and a few others like Lou Kohn​ of the Abaddon shards. What do you think?

    I see an exploding/overloaded brain breaking its barriers down to expand

    Or to dissolve from a fixed state...

    Edit... Right EAWs profile picture looks similar

    It's a symbol of EAW's fractured memory is all really.

    I would also consider it "A representation of a mind expanding outside its boundaries for the sake of seeking and understanding the ultimate truth."

    But yes, it also reminds me of the supposed #Abaddon Shards.

    Especially since the abaddon shards are rumored to come together in a shape similar to a head. Very interesting. But yes, it also brings to mind Dr Wright's sharded memory.

    Are the pieces flying apart? Or are they falling in place?

    Reminds me of classical Greek and Roman coins somehow, though they used to depict potentates and gods rather than thinkers. Using those is an much more modern trend, as one can see on more recent bank notes.

    Interesting also the red "glow" of the eyes.

    I also see it connected to mind hack, as Edgar Allan Wright​​ has mentioned several times that he was using Essex to reconstruc his own fractured memories, so I think that it's going to be pieces falling in place Thomas Arteaga​​

    Drew Morison yeah, well, none of the special ones are available outside of Europe, anyway. So we're destined to never be like the cool kids. 😑

    I see a mind finally realizing itself and all the pieces coming into place.

    Drew Morison from the sounds of it Nia selects someone for their contributions to Ingress and they get the medal.

    For me it's a clear reference to the shards

    Just another piece of unobtanium to me.

    Ha does remind me of Edgar Allan Wright​​'s profile pic. Perhaps it's a nod to our abilities to wrap our heads around a conspiracy that some say is so fractured, and continually fit the pieces together.

    It looks like a mind being blown, but perhaps it is being put back together...

    A fundraising poster for mental illness awareness?

    Will this badge be given to those who participate in the next Flash Shard Anomaly events?

    I would give you a piece of my mind- but the badge is already trying to do that 😼

    As he's been trying to recollect himself all this time.. it would make sense that the badge is a representation of someone that helped him gather the pieces together, in which case it could not be the pieces coming apart.

    Well for what I can say about this badge, it's a nice one! 😎
