As someone who wasn't around for #13Magnus I was surprised to see a familiar-looking symbol as I read through the Niantic Project Files, Vol. 2. This is probably something fairly obvious to long time players, but I haven't seen anyone point it out yet. Is this simply the shape that these resurrection/simulacrum creation chambers must take at Magnus and Anti-Magnus nests, or is there more of a connection here? With the recovered intel indicating that Obsidius was searching for "Magnus" and the tie between this #Obsidian image, it seems like Obsidian might be sort of a "13Magnus Redux," if you will--a revisiting of the origins of the group and the establishment of their opposition to the N'Zeer, something that ultimately led Obsidius to create his Obsidian Shield which the two factions shall soon be fighting over.
Interesting thoughts. I'll comment soon.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was discussed a month or two back when the first images of ABADN were released?
ReplyDeleteAuros Harman If I remember correctly, it was. Nonetheless, I still am intrigued by the possibility that Obsidian could be an expansion of the 13MAGNUS narrative-that we might further see into the mysterious society that has been claimed by various individuals such as Hank Johnson and Susanna Moyer(in the Ingress Report recaps) as the forces that have been protecting humanity from the N'zeer.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Obsidian shield?
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I do see a few post with both symbols from around New Year's. I was a little busy then. :p
ReplyDeleteTrIsten Bordagaray The "Obsidian Shield" is mentioned in the IQTech documents regarding the anomaly on Feb. 27. It's the source of the Shards that will be fought for in Seattle and Rio. It supposedly can be used to protect Earth from the N'Zeer, or be reworked to act in their favor instead.
This is the original post from Niantic Project I've found regarding this symbol: https://plus.google.com/+NianticProject/posts/PZJPAZmZHsN
ReplyDeleteIt was found by Devra Bogdanovich at Cueva del Indio and was related to 13Magnus.
Carlyle Edmundson Thank you for the Information about the "Obsidian Shield"! I didn't get that point until you mentioned it. Here is the Text from IQTech Research:
ReplyDelete"The Acolyte, a prominent Enlightened leader and Roland Jarvis’s successor, is attempting to find and activate an XM artifact known as the Obsidian Shield. Originally found by a Roman explorer named Obsidius, the Acolyte believes this technology will create a barrier that can protect humanity from the N’zeer. In her view, this is a desperately needed response to their rising influence.Jahan, a high-ranking Resistance and Anti-Magnus leader, has discovered that the Shield can be modified and used for a very different purpose, to block Shaper transmissions that enter our universe via modulated XM. If she can obtain this technology before the Acolyte, she intends to use it against the Shapers.Our analysts have verified that the Shards that will manifest during Obsidian contain frag-ments of the Shield artifact. However, simply obtaining these Shards is not enough. Jahan and the Acolyte will need the Anomalies to generate the XM energy needed to activate them."
