The Mystery of Edgar Allan Wright : Answers? So in my previous post( https://plus.google.com/+MustafaSaid/posts/5jh7ds38UEm ), I explored just how Edgar Allan Wright had lost his memories and had his mind fractured prior to the start of the Niantic Project and Investigation. In this part two, I'll be exploring some ideas as to how to fix his condition. So let's start with what we know. Edgar seems to have lost his mind during Project Whydah, perhaps as a result of some sort of experiment gone awry? From that statement, we can at least find the starting point of this being to track down those who had an involvement in Project Whydah and interviewing them to gain more knowledge as to what happened for sure to Wright. Well, here's a list of some besides Wright who were there: Yuri Alaric Nagassa Misty Hannah Zeke Calvin Antoin Hollis (list picked from here, thanks to JoJo Stratton: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1xDuQ1MqpTlS7H0RwTh5YGU-zDiMOQ0vOERA7I-2E0oA/edit ) Wait....

The Mystery of Edgar Allan Wright On Oct 27th, 2013, Dr. Edgar Wright had announced the creation of a group designed to tackle the collection of data and knowledge in order to help unravel the mysteries of the world of Ingress. This group was named Operation: Essex. ( https://plus.google.com/u/0/110289508116377658380/posts/azNsbybUSbd ) However, he did have another reason for launching this. He said so in his Behind the Scanner interview years later: "And quite frankly, I have my own personal motive, and that motive is to… reassemble my own thoughts and brain." Years prior to the Niantic Project, to H. Richard Loeb and the creation of the Niantic Investigation, Dr. Wright ended up on the wrong end of a strange incident which resulted in his memory being fractured and broken. I think now is the time to begin research into how he lost his memory and what can be done to fix it. After all, in one way that's why we're all here...isn't it? SO let's start here: How d...

Reviving Klue and Susanna: A Theory Yea...kind of a weird title. But hear me out for a sec. I think it can be done. Here's how. We know that Klue and Susanna have traveled the world. We know they've interacted with dozens of Portals. I believe there's a way to harness those Portals to revive them. When Hank Johnson was a simulacrum and facing his Recursion, he called on Agents to obtain vital memories from his past and unite them at Cross Plains, TX( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuufRl7V80A ). "I've always postulated that with every Portal we visit we leave an echo of ourselves behind. Now I need that echo from around the world to reach Cross Plains." Hypothetically, if Agents embarked on a global mission to link various key Portal locations in the lives of Susanna and Klue to Geneva, where the ruined Techulhu that consumed them lay, and then a Primal Object was used to craft simulacrum vessels for them would it work? I think it could. But I'm not sur...

The Redacted Report: Analysis On December 31st, 2017, the first part of the Central Omnilytics document known as the "Redacted Report" appeared in the hands of H. Richard Loeb, who graciously shared both it and the subsequent parts of the document publicly to the larger Investigative Community, including Operation Essex. There are, as of the writing of this post, 62 redacted portions or fragment that Central has decided must remain only visible for the eyes of Shaw Henson and Hank Johnson. I have decided to launch an inquiry to unravel as much of those redactions as possible. The album listed below contains all of the pieces of the Report, organized in order of release. If you would like to help, please comment below with the redaction number, your idea of what goes into it and why you believe in the choice you made. I will add yours to the growing list. Please be patient when it comes to me adding people; I'm going to be starting school soon and my new job isn't all ...

Investigation Livestream on #EXO5 Day Two? So, I was thinking of hosting a special livestream event on Saturday....figured it'd be a bit of fun. I think it'll go live around the final measurement so that we can learn what happens after the Anomaly ends. What do you guys think? If you do think it should happen, wanna be a part of it?

MuMu's Weekly Wrap-Up! Yea...sorry, H. Richard Loeb for not managing to tell you in advance but I figured now more than ever that this was needed so I went ahead and launched this. I know that this was originally on Investigate:Ingress and if you wanna talk to me about this, you know where to find me. Anyways, I've decided to take on the challenge of reviving the Weekly Wrap-Up! Every Sunday I'll recap the various leaks and releases that pop up on Investigate:Ingress and via other channels. If you wanna join, the link to join is right here: https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEO8qwp_3N78A0_ffQ Share the link with newbie Investigators who need to learn what's happened recently or with veterans who need a brush up. I'll see you all on the other side! :) https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEO8qwp_3N78A0_ffQ

Return of the Weekly Wrap-Up? Back in the early days of Investigate:Ingress, H. Richard Loeb used to hold a weekly wrap up of intel released. He stopped doing these as far back as last August during Via Lux. Figured I'd revive it in the form of a Telegram channel that'd get updated weekly. What do you guys think about this? Good idea, bad idea, whatever you think-I wanna hear it.

NOVEMBER LIMA PUBLIC RELEASE

The November Lima Program: Expansion SEE THE NEXT POST AFTER THIS. Well, I wasn't really expecting the large reaction to the original post I made! I figured it'd have a..rather relaxed and appreciative approval from the general community but I woke up this morning and H. Richard Loeb even shared it on Investigate! Once again, I offer my deep thanks to PAC for doing so :) Given that wonderful news, I decided to get to work on pushing out the second part of this series. So, without further ado, let's talk about the expansion of the program..but first, I do need to wrap things up in the "Origins" post, very quickly. First, it's pretty commonly known that November Lima and its variants have traveled to Anomalies and special meetup events. Edgar Allan Wright, the founder of this community, mused on one day that he had obtained knowledge that revealed that the exposure of Roland Jarvis' body did more than impart unique abilities-such as the ability of 'hy...

The November Lima Program: Origins With the new revelations of the NL Program getting larger under the control of Akira Tsukasa, I figured I'd whip up a document with all relevant information regarding the program's history and variants up to this point. Let's start with the origins of the program, shall we? I will be spoiling the contents of a Felicia Hajra Lee novel in this history so if you have not read Level 8, please do so before reading or read at your own risk. NL-1331 The origins of the program began with the first XM Detection Vehicle, November Lima. Its own history is...muddled at best so here's my personal timeline of events. July 15, 2013 : the first signs of Corporate activity regarding the Niantic Project lab in Geneva began to surface as IQTech Research member Avril Lorazon authorizes a raid on the facility to capture Stein Lightman, Yuri Alaric Nagassa and Martin Schubert who were trapped inside and under NIA control. Isabel Devitt is given full contro...

Public Call: Questions for Misty Hannah Agent Liberty Naud has announced she'll be heading to tomorrow's event in the Gaslamp District to meet with Misty Hannah. I've spoken to her and she's also willing to pass along questions to Misty on our behalf. If there are any questions you'd like to ask Misty, please put them here. I'm not sure how many Liberty will be able to ask. Originally shared by Liberty Naud (LibertyBot2) Can't wait to find out what this is all about! Will totally be there. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/20/tychos-secret/

What are the goals of the Shapers and N'zeer entities? I don't have an answer to this question. I was hoping some of you could help formulate an answer.

Update from Transgress LA Event Agents on site were able to find this hidden in fragments that needed to be assembled within the Missions on site. Originally shared by Maribel del Valle (Maruland) Today at the missions in the Comic Event, we could get a very unique and interesting piece of information about Techtulu and their correlation with our entire history. Techtulu is not good or evil but it's just capable of extreme good of extreme evil, depending on the reasons that lead to its creation. I wonder what will happen after this shard event, will it lead to a techtulu that is capable of greatness! Let's hope so! Thanks to @Wond3rBread for sharing his findings and to @KokuryuuENL for helping assembling the picture. flint dille​ H. Richard Loeb​ Edgar Allan Wright​

Special Announcement We've noticed a large tick in people wanting access to the Essex Hangout in the last couple of weeks. So, Matt Stevenson​ of Project Isthmus​ and I have been working on a exciting solution to this. We've managed to create a Operation Essex Telegram chat and we've linked it to the Hangout so people in one chat can see the activity on the other! This'll allow us to expand the willing Investigators who want to jump even further down the rabbit hole to do so. In order to join you'll need the Telegram app, which can be downloaded from either the Google Play Store or the App Store on iOS. From there, you'll need the access link to enter the chat. *Here's the link:   https://telegram.me/joinchat/BNGL80EOR0SHtMHGCXUuXw   It is vital to state that all chat syncs occasionally have service outages/need repair. The Operation Essex team will always closely monitor this service and respond timely to such needs. If you wanna jump in, go ahead and I ca...

On the Nature of XM Simulacra Prologue Dr. Edgar Allan Wright commented on a thread made on November 21, 2016 on the questions posed by Japanese Investigator MailEater regarding XM Simulacra. Towards the end of his response, he wrote: “As I said, additional scholarship and understanding are necessary.” I’m no scholar by any stretch but I figured I’d take a crack at coming up with the most comprehensive guide to XM Simulacra to date. This guide will populate and coalesce as much documentation that exists within our Investigation on this mysterious and unique phenomenon. I will be providing sources of everything I have gathered to create this at the end of this post. Please read through them carefully. If there is anything I have forgotten to add, please let me know. All images are provided to me by Investigator Achim S. and I would like to thank him for his support. Origin To try to explain Simulacra, I think it might be wise to start with who-or what-uses them. We've only really se...

The Via Noir Poem: All Parts Found So Far This is going to act as a collective for the media files collected by Agents around the world. I will update this as needed. Hank Johnson​, XM Sensitive, former Special Operations member, former Niantic Project Researcher and leader of the 13MAGNUS society, is reading the poem "The Tempter" by Robert E. Howard. (Thanks to Yik Sheng Lee​ for identifying the poem.) We see throughout the images a man carrying a briefcase.... Here are all the fragments. N- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOAWW2zJRZ0 O- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXyNw72dgRA I- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUC8hsPubCw R- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwA__g-XmuI To the Agents worldwide who have obtained and delivered these fragments to us, I cannot thank you enough. To the Investigators of the world....what could all of mean? How does this message tie into the impending Via Noir Anomalies? -Mustafa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOAWW2zJRZ0

I've decided to obtain and organize all the pages of the new story by Felicia Hajra-Lee​ about what happened to Susanna Moyer​ for easy reading.

Questions for Via Noir High Profile Individuals So it looks like we've got willing Agents to interview the individuals present at the Anomalies! At this point I think we should start producing questions for them to answer. Please keep in mind not every question will be answered-we'll only have so much time to interview them. SO, in this thread please address who you are posing the question to and then state your question. If you have multiple questions for a person, please select one that you classify as high priority, allowing the interviewer to select that question over the others you pose. I will aggregate all the questions, assemble them into documents and then send them to the interviewers ahead of the Anomalies. I will provide my own questions in this thread as examples. -Mustafa.

A Call to Action: Via Noir High-Priority Individuals Looks like Niantic Labs has obtained details on who's going to show up at the Via Noir Anomalies. Hank Johnson will be present at the Anomaly in Rome. Details from Niantic: Hank Johnson calls the machine with ancient power a weapon. He has named it Tecthulhu. The intrepid explorer and former Special Forces Operator will be heading to the ancient city of Rome in November to investigate this power further. Does the old city have secrets yet to be revealed? Devra Bogdanovich will be at the Anomaly in Seoul. Details from Niantic: Our intelligence team has learned that Dr. Devra Bogdanovich has booked a flight to Seoul. Her itinerary has her landing a few days before the Anomaly there. The fourth most populated city in the world must be home to someone or something that has Devra's attention. It also has a communication network that is unparalleled in dense urban environments. She is not known to travel without a purpose. And fin...

A Japanese investigation group has released translated transcripts of the NL PRIME fragments found during its first run though Japan. It sheds some dangerous light on how far Akira Tsukasa is willing to go to protect the secrets of NL PRIME. Full disclosure: I'm part of the group and assisted with the translation process. Originally shared by Project Lycaeum Hail thee, here is the NL-Prime investigation report. http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/08/31/prime-fragments/ Mr. Masatake Kure, a conspiracy blogger, has disappeared. Mr. Kure had been chasing the conspiracy behind the NL-PRIME XM vehichle until his disappearance. Akira Tsukasa of IQTech East may be involved. NL-PRIME.A. The Bus designed for a game, but does it have covert actions in absolute secrecy?
