Operation Essex - G+ Community Archive

Hey everyone! As you may already know, Hank Johnson's breadcrumbs started appearing a while ago on the Portal Network, all the way back in 2014. After some information emerged about Paita, Peru, and what happened after a vessel sailed over here, Operation Essex members had suspicions that one of Hank's breadcrumb's was hidden there. Even though we've had a couple agents visit the city before and check, I wanted to personally check myself if there was anything over here. I visited the city today and visited 4 out of the 5 portals on the city. The only one missing was "Portal de Paita", which is quite far away from the actual port. None of the portals dropped any media for me, and I tried hacking each one at least two times. With this, we can either confirm that there was no breadcrumb hidden over at Paita, or that the Portal Network had a small glitch and didn't drop me the breadcrumb. Either way, we at least got some factual information. Thanks to all the ...

This has come to my mind recently. * The Enlightened were the one who set the Obsidian shield. * The main con for them was the XM drought, which has already stopped. * The Obsidian Shield blocks the N'zeer from coming. * The goal of Aegis Nova is to break the Obsidian shield. Why would the Enlightened try to win Aegis Nova? Or would it produce different outcomes - with the Resistance breaking the shield and the Enlightened saving it?

I've been thinking about the GORuck stuff, and don't understand what the companies are trying to do with these recruits. Hulong we haven't heard about at all. Could it be that the GORuck people are double agents, working for Hulong but infiltrated on IQTech? And if it were Hulong, would they be testing Dark XM on these recruits? Kinda scares me...

Is anyone here going to the Atlanta anomaly and has bought some coins? You may have your coins by then! Please let me know via PM and we'll arrange this.

Hello, Essexians. After a discussion, we will be producing Operation Essex challenge coins. These will be member-only coins, so please do not share this form with people who are not in the community. Also, we will cross-check that people who order the coins are, in fact, Essex members with the community. Prices and more details are specified on the form. Because of time constraints, orders will only be open until tomorrow 23:59 EST time. Please, make sure to get your orders in. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VinKIIcLvJN4SoVGn1RIaCn8qMl7HT1u4hhGh3mki1c/viewform

UPDATE: Enlightened agents who were to Charleston, check any bio cards you received Agents, in the latest Ingress Report it was revealed that Klue left a message to ENLIGHTENED AGENTS WHO WERE ON THE FIELD FOR THE CHARLESTON ANOMALY . If you are one of those agents, please speak up and let us know what Klue said to you. We are really willing to help Klue, but need your help. On the other hand, if you are an Enlightened agent and Klue signed something for you, please check your autograph for glyphs or any weird information, and please let us know. We hope to resolve this mystery as soon as possible.

After investigating for a while, here are them: Essex Patches! To place your order, fill out the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XeWblTNv-ZwaMckIrp9WwXntlpMUz4J1W5vMWtsHsRU/viewform Orders close on the 14th December. If you want to place a bulk order, please contact me directly on Hangouts - I'll be happy to give you a hand!

Thanks to the help of Levi Farmer, Eric A., Steve Callahan and William TNSheep, we've gotten a full transcript of the leak found in Oklahoma City. Here's an album containing screenshots from the mission, as well as a transcript of the contents. Truthseeker I: Oklahoma City - VIATOR-I OKLAHOMA CITY IQTech COMINT Intercept || Calvin, E. & Azmati || Signal originated near Pune, India AZMATI: Calvin, tell that idiot Lorazon to stay out of the line of fire. CALVIN: You need to work with Lorazon. There's enough hostiles on the ground without friendlies baring teeth. AZMATI: I have no idea why you work with him. I have no intention of working with him myself. CALVIN: Azmati... Listen. I cannot guarantee your safety if you are rogue. AZMATI: You could not guarantee my safety even if I were standing in your office.

Let's give this another shot... I had the thought to make Essex patches, but the minimum order is 100 patches. Price will vary depending of the number of patches ordered. I will also check with various providers to see if the cost can be lower, but still high-quality. If you're interested, please fill in the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QKyvmeVmuU7nMBslc3WrvdyFFYnLgtZuWfutKk1Q90g/viewform

Now that mission creation has been enabled, I suggest we spread the word about the storyline through them. We can create a mission for each part of the storyline, having a trivia in-between portals. What do you think? I'm willing to start with a mission about Epiphany Night in Lima, Peru.

A couple days ago I woke up wondering about Exotic Matter. In your scanner you see 1XM, 200XM or 8000XM. But how is this measured? I don't believe with weight or height, then how? JoJo Stratton​ provided some good insight about this . http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:exotic_matter has information about XM, and in the Quantum Mechanics part it mentions discrete packets. Could it be that it's measured in the number of discrete packets you have? And, hence, humans needing an scanner to interact with it as it's so small that it cannot be seen with the human eye? Any ideas about this topic? I believe it could shed some light about beacons and XM leaking into our world. http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:exotic_matter

Essexians, Thanks to the help of Iris Garcia and Ricky A. Perez Alvarez we have obtained a good snip of the leak found in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Now we can definitely confirm that Hank Johnson is being hunted down by the different XM corporations. We will be working hard to obtain the remaining parts of the conversation. The original post can be found here: http://goo.gl/1Rf5yy (album has been updated with the latest images). Here's a full transcript of the snip leak: ---------------------------------------- VIATOR I - SANTO DOMINGO; Truthseeker I: Santo Domingo Visur COMINT Intercept || Glas, C. & Pevtsov, I. || Signal originated near Pune, India GLAS: Deployed. Awaiting Intel. ILYA: Observe and report. Be careful. Smith is very dangerous in extra-urban environments. GLAS: Do you question my competence? ILYA: Your training has been in urban operations. Johnson is wounded and thus to be perceived as extremely dangerous. Smith is seasoned in multiple tactical en...

Agents, I have begun questioning myself about glyphs and glyph sequences. In order to continue with my investigations, I need from your help. I am curious about the message that's behind the sequences and who writes them. There have been some speculations on the Essex hangout, but I cannot confirm until I have more information. I am starting to collect glyph sequences shown after glyph hacks. If you happen to be an avid glyph hacker, please take a screenshot and send any sequences you find to me on hangouts or send them on an email to joseeantonior+sequences@gmail.com. Please include your faction, the meaning of the sequence as shown in the scanner (some glyphs have up to three meanings) and the attached screenshot. If you want to be credited, also include your agent name. Thanks in advance for your help, I expect to have some good results soon.

Hey guys! The idea of having Essex patches has been around for a while, and I'm currently investigating the price and designs that could be used. If you're interested in one, please fill out this form, that will help see if we could meet the minimum quantity to order these. Thanks in advance!

Investigators, After some discussion, I have decided to buy the domain name operationessex.org . If you currently go to operationessex.org or www.operationessex.org , you will be redirected to this G+ community. This domain name will also serve as a resource/tool for those investigators who set up boards or pages outside of G+ or the Wiki who want to claim a subdomain for the page. As an example, if Mustafa Said creates a page and wants to have a nice and uniform domain name, he could request mumu.operationessex.org for his site. The request will be acknowledged, and then people in the Essex hangout will be asked for a vote. If it results on a +3 vote (each person having just a +1, 0 or -1), then the subdomain will be granted for the person to use with the site. To make a request, just post here in the community, and make sure to tag me. Bare in mind that this is only a domain name, and I do not provide a hosting service (though I could probably host something super small if you ask ...

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? Hav...
