what happened before will happen again is happening now #LiminalContinuum #Navarro2018 #Ingress As global participation lead on this amazing team, I am thrilled to invite you to join us again! We piloted the global collaborative in 2017 with wild success through the winning #LuminescentHeart project. We're expanding the ways you can be a part of our Navarro Magnus project in 2018 - have a look, and join us on our adventure again! The project is xfac, we invite you all, and look forward to seeing what wonders you create with us. website: http://www.liminalcontinuum.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liminalcontinuum/ g+: https://plus.google.com/114409553601935368712 youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4N5VFtvdO8b87XZedk53g Originally shared by Liminal Continuum I’m drawn in...beckoned to come closer. There are clearly residual effects from prior portal luminescent projects that have manifested in this space.  As I approach, I begin to feel a strong pull; space and time...

Last night I was contacted by Matt Stevenson, who happened to be at Camp Navarro for the #13Magnus:Reawakens for some help on some lore for something he was doing. Note: I can only supply the question and answers, at this time, because I was on the other side of the country and I am still not totally sure what these questions were to. If someone from Team #ViridCascadia can verify which event it was for, or if there was question/answer I missed or got wrong , please let me know and I will edit. 1. What was the precursor to Ada Lovelace? Omnivore 2. I burn, I die, I rise Hank Johnson 3. My dagger destroys Abbadon's army Azmati 4. Moyer's brother's name Peter 5. I am the other face of Lima Janus 6. I am DDD-8886 NL-1331 7. Are you awake now? Roland Jarvis

More revelations about Jahan and the Acolyte's recent activities... Fellow Investigator QuantumIngressEffectIngress QuantumEffect  linked me to this article https://plus.google.com/+NianticProject/posts/PZJPAZmZHsN , yes it's about the #13Magnus anomaly, but looking through the photos attached, we came to the conclusion of "Look! Those look like 2 shields in the photos!" These COULD be what the manifestations of the Aegis and Ancile look like?  Configurations of the shields that Jahan knew about? And the location mentioned in that document, at Arecibo, Puerto Rico,  which is a coastal town. This leads me to believe that the Acolyte recently visited the area before the #Obsidian   finale, where she obtained the sea shells that she was handing out to agents in Vienna. As displayed in this post.. https://plus.google.com/110169319606307166803/posts/U5aWNF2ZwGg So Edgar Allan Wright and Hank Johnson , what do you think? Could there be some further intel there? flint di...

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.

#AgentOrigins   Originally shared by Mustafa Said So I heard that there was a special challenge launched by Ingress to get a community logo placed into the #IngressOrigins  comic book.  My submission is the logo of Operation: Essex, the cross-faction investigative effort launched by Dr. Edgar Allan Wright in October 2013, around the time of #13MAGNUS .  “With Operation Essex, we have assembled the most elite set of investigators in the Ingress world, and the purpose is to discover the truth of whatever is going on in the portals, the truth of what the NIA may or may not be hiding, what the corporations are doing. We are trying to get to the bottom of all of that. And quite frankly, I have my own personal motive, and that motive is to reassemble my own thoughts and brain.”  Serious investigators dig deeper. Seeking the truth, no matter where it may lead, is our calling. Faction, race, gender, age - none of these things matter here. Share your passion of discovering what is truly happ...

Dr. Devra Bogdanovich, the Guardian of the Underworld I have made comments to this effect already, but I feel like I should actually make a formal most regarding it. Following the sharding of Dr. Devra Bogdanovich and her re-emergence during the #Shonin  finale, she has become a form of Cerberus.  In legend, Cerberus is a multi-headed beast spawned of Echidna, a female human-serpent hybrid, and Typhon, a monster than even the gods feared.  While most depictions of Cerberus indicate it has three heads, others range from two to a hundred.  Cerberus, however, is always seen as guarding the entrance to the underworld, devouring any living mortal who dares upon it while preventing the dead from escaping. During the Shonin finale, Devra showed that she now exists within the "limbo" of the portal network, similar to Roland Jarvis prior to the #13MAGNUS  finale.  She is not dead, but neither is she among the normal living world. How did she get there?  Well, she was sharded durin...

Where are the Niantic Sensitives? 🚺🚺🚺🚹🚹🚹🚹🚹🚹🚹🚹🚹🌐 A singular event happened on Epiphany Night at CERN. Under the direction of Ezekiel Calvin a group of extraordinary individuals had been gathered to study XM, but at the same time they themselves were the focus of the project's analysis. We have seen images and read stories of them having extraordinary insights, but what happened after that has been hidden by the distraction of the escape of Devra Bogdanovich​ and the assassination of Roland Jarvis​. Now an event at the #13Magnus Sanctum in Afghanistan has resulted in an XM wave intended to bar the Antimagnus ritual from destabilizing the portal barrier that protects this planet from the N'Zeer. As a side effect of that event we have seen several of the original sensitives appear to vanish. One, Hank Johnson​, was known to be a recursive immortal since prior to the Niantic project's inception. At the same time we know that Hubert Farlowe​ was not similarly ef...

I don't always break character from pretentious interpertations, appropriation and serious deliberation of Ingress's plot and themes, but when I do, I choose Dos XMquis. Stay thirsty my friends. Originally shared by The @BlackHorse23 Files Theories As to Why The Ingress Servers Started To Slow And Finally Went Dead For About An Hour Today [Brought To You By Black Horse's Totally Scientastically Theory Facto Bot!] 1- An Intern who is officially billed as Niantic Lab's entire IT staff for Endgame had to copy and transfer all of Ingress's Live World, Portal and user action data to Endgame's near ready apk. He did so by transferring it with a USB1 cable, and forgot to reassign the new live duplicate to another server so now both had to run from the back of some random box either in Prague or North Korea. 2- NIANTIC released a new live patch that was scripted out of made of  Shaper Glyph.. 3- With reports of Ingress's Next Anomoly series drawing a very heavy s...

Stein Lightman -  Essex theorized about a connection between the Die Glocke and the Kecksburg ufo towards the end of #13magnus  - that sparked my initial investigation. ( https://plus.google.com/109205983021176975780/posts/WqsnyzztGmS &  https://plus.google.com/109205983021176975780/posts/fFhXPaKgQf6 ) During #interitus  I had the opportunity to visit the Kecksburg ufo statue. I also picked up a portal key to continue remote investigation. I apologize for the video quality, my equipment tends to have an uncanny way of behaving strangely at anomalous XM sites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkuLAdg38ZQ

Copied from my comment on the below NP post. This brings up a unique question: *What if ADA planned this from the beginning? * Epiphany Night: ADA gets the opportunity to monitor a massive dose of "tuned" XM on Niantic personnel. Devra escapes, managing to take +Roland Jarvis with her. This is not in ADA's plans because she sees the threat Jarvis's visions have to her plan. She off Jarvis and her plan is secretly set up over the course of the past year and a half. What she doesn't anticipate is the return of Roland Jarvis through the Portal network. Seeing how +Klue S. has aligned herself with Jarvis's ideals, ADA picks her moment during #Cassandra to show Klue an ingressive glyph sequence, drawing her away from the Enlightened. ADA keeps Klue's body safe and out of the way until #13MAGNUS comes along and Roland Jarvis becomes a very serious threat to ADA's master plan. She starts sowing seeds of discord in +Hank Johnson and +Devra Bogdanovich by ...

Time for me to tilt at this windmill one last time. This was a set of questions that was put together by members of Essex shortly after the end of #13Magnus , to be presented to Roland Jarvis for him to answer in whatever fashion he saw fit. In addition to the questions in the main post, questions from other agents were added in the comments. While the sculptor never replied directly at the time, a few of these questions (especially some of my additional ones in the comments) were addressed by the events of #recursion . Now that his work with the Society for the Ethical Treatment of AIs has prompted him to open a G+ account, I feel that we have a chance to push again for an #InterviewWithJarvis . So I put it to the Essex community: are there any additional questions that the events of the last few months have raised that Jarvis would be uniquely qualified to give his insight on? Do any of the previous questions need to be revised, amended, or expanded on? Here's a few off of the...

Looking back at the XM anomaly schedule, I discovered a pattern among the following series: Operation #Cassandra - 13 events Operation #13Magnus - 39 events #Recursion XM anomaly- 26 events Notice that these anomaly series are in factors of 13. How will this affect the scheduling of future anomalies? Feel free to post your thoughts here.

Originally shared by Niantic Project URGENT ALERT TO ALL INVESTIGATORS BODY OF HANK JOHNSON DISCOVERED A lost camera from the filming of Hank Johnson's NOMAD - #13MAGNUS episode was recently recovered at a night bazaar in Karachi. The finder claims to have received a large wire transfer in exchange for 'destroying the SD card.' I've obtained a copy of the footage. I expect ADA obtained a replica of the data on the card before ordering its destruction. The person in Karachi promised that it 'had to be seen to be believed.'  I'm afraid to say he's right. Reportedly, Klue showed this video to players at the #Recursion Anomaly in Nashville today.  Her words to them: "Enlightened Agents, give up the pursuit of the Artifacts. Hank Johnson is dead...

After reviewing the glyphs presented at the culmination of #13Magnus  is San Francisco, I decided to revisit the "Advance" glyph.  Basically a straight line, and without the convenience of being shown with it's calibration grid, this one has been somewhat challenging to transcribe with assured accuracy.   The image on the right (2.) was my original transcription, however I am now leaning more toward the image on the left (1.) as it is straighter without the slight bend that is in the other.  Of course, that may also have to do with the accuracy and symmetry of the calibration grid I am using.  Also keep in mind, that Anthony Castanza has a transcription that cuts out the middle point altogether and shoots the glyph line straight from point a to point b. Essex agents, what are your opinions on this?  If you need the original glyph image to compare it to, it can be found in this video:   The Glyph Message: #13MAGNUS Edgar Allan Wright Stein Lightman Any input?

If we take what Hank Johnson (and to a lesser extent Roland Jarvis) claims to be true we know this about XM, the dead, and #13Magnus: 1) The "XM fabric" is a transdimensional substrate of concentrated XM. (Susana Moyer confirmed this) XM entities of Jarvis' type reside here. No word on whether Shapers do, too, or are an aspect of the XM itself. 2) Patterns of humans may exist here, and is described as a void, a darkness, by Roland Jarvis (side note: this is so exciting in a nerdy way because it CONFIRMS photons don't reside in the XM fabric). 3) 13Magnus may resurrect humans, but only with: A) the right portal B) the right amount of XM C) the right glyph sequence 4) Roland Jarvis was killed by an assassination, but was resurrected. Witnesses report strange events and glyphs upon his head. Were the glyphs the "starting material" required for resurrection? We know the algorithm exists, but is there a proper "XM" embalming process in addition to the ...

This week's questions, brought to you by the Ingress Newsletter. Which two titanic battled it out at the climax of Operation #13MAGNUS? Who won? What ex-Niantic Project Investigator performed live after the San Francisco Event? What is 13 MAGNUS? Who interrupted the Cross Faction meetup and Ingress Report Livestream in San Francisco on December 14th? Whose father might have been involved in XM research in Buenos Aires after WWII?

Any European Essex members able to attend this meetup to confirm if Hank Johnson is safe? Originally shared by Ingress It is rumored that Hank Johnson, who was last seen facing incredible danger at a supposed #13MAGNUS stronghold in an episode, will appear at the Cross Faction Meetup in Prague (Location will be announced soon). After the release of the video online, Investigators were concerned that Hank Johnson may have been injured or captured. This makes the rumors of his appearance all the more mysterious. Agents, its time to move! events/c3no0f25pnjrfq3jdhof63pajhs

Transcript: "Resurrected Roland Jarvis at Cupid's Span - #13Magnus San Francisco" Oliver Lynton-Wolfe: Stop! Stop! 13Magnus is over. And I, Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, am still standing! Where is Roland Jarvis? Where is the puppet?  He betrayed me in Washington.  But in Bangkok, I took my revenge. Yes, I attacked him, and I won. I won. Shards were all that remained. Scattered across the world. Those worthy of you - the worthy among you - fought alongside me, on all continents, to crush those fragile remnants. In Los Angeles, Dallas, Rome, Vienna, Mumbai, and finally in Buenos Aires, from where I’ve just returned. Roland Jarvis tried to kill me. He did not succeed. He tried to kill me. He may yet prevail today, but if he does, he will come for me, he will come for all of you.     No, he must be defeated. No matter what faction - No matter what faction - put aside your grievances and align with me. I stand before you a martyr. To those of you who aided me in 13 Magnus, thank...

I am trying to record, archive, document all of the events that occurred on Dec. 14 as a part of the 6th #13Magnus  event.  I have started listing items as well as questions that seem to naturally fit based on the events.  I would love peer review and help as this is a draft only and needs lots of information and especially documented resources (I intend to start adding citations/references).  Any suggestions, comments and especially links to images, audio, video, etc. would be helpful and this post can serve as a collection point to bring all the scattered together. (it is listed as the 6th event in the #13Magnus  Anomaly   #13magnus #6thevent Also, would it be helpful to at SITREPs from the day, or to stick to the "storyline"??? http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:apps:ingress:events?&#th_event2   http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:apps:ingress:events?&#th_event2
