So this Jahan is the leader of a decentralized, non-hierarchical group? How does that work anyway? Something more to her, perhaps?

Another reference to the "two headed symbol thing" - a statue seen by Chihiro / Sen at the boundary / portal / gateway between the Human and Spirit worlds in "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki.

This is the live q/a session by Felicia Hajra-Lee from the other day. It has been reorganized to show more clearly any questions / answers / conversations between Felicia, Loeb, ADA, and the investigative community. It is divided into two sections, with the first being Hajra-Lee focused and the other ADA focused. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MOqw3tl1XAc1kxRGJCaXJYQms/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MOqw3tl1XAc1kxRGJCaXJYQms

"The beacons must stay dark as much as possible..." Says Hank Johnson, expressing his concern about the return of the N'Zeer, and his hope that the Enlightened will assist him in keeping these beacons dark. Looking to the intel map, we can see that the Helios Artifacts remain in place... are these the beacons? Should these portals be kept neutral to further delay the return of... whatever it is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgJOVMAoVCA Here we see a video leaked by ADA. It shows that yes, these artifacts are acting as a beacon, a fact that greatly concerns Hank. Now if we think back a bit, we can also remember that while Hank rejected ADA's offer to archive his consciousness, she most likely went ahead anyway. So whatever it is that he knows, she does too, and it was worrisome enough for her to reinforce the fact that we need to prepare ourselves for what comes (selfishly speaking, ADA would not want to lose her most potent source of computational power - selflessl...

Looking at the image of Klue / ADA with Susanna in a recent post by "Ingress", I couldn't help but notice Klue's belt buckle. A crown with a feather, so look up "feathers in hearldry" and they can mean "willful obedience" or "serenity" - I will not be there but am looking forward to her appearance next week.

A few frames pulled from the recent Moyer video. My capture method isn't very repeatable and I'm short on time, so there are likely other points of interest to be found.

Cahokia as an early "urban hub" of culture and society - http://news.illinois.edu/news/14/0303cahokia_ThomasEmerson.html

Recently some themes have been brought up by the Niantic Project - the number 7, recursion, artificial intelligence, and ancient / lost civilizations. Given these (and others), I am suddenly reminded of some elements from an old story that I enjoy - http://marathon.bungie.org/story/durendal1.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/tycho.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/thoth.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/latin.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/seven.html

Thoughts of Die Glock and Hank Johnson lead me to consider the concept of the "super soldier" and how Dr. Lynton-Wolfe described Hank as "enhanced" by dark xm. Then I remembered that the Nazi's used the term "Übermensch" to describe their idea of the "master race" of humans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cbermensch Following this, I ended up with this Nietzsche fellow and one of his works, the central theme of which (eternal recurrence) was inspired by the presence of a specifically-mentioned pyramidal block of stone in Switzerland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Zarathustra On Jarvis' appearance, he speaks of his "time lost, time lived if you can call it that" in the void and seems joyous over the simple act of breathing in the air and meeting the people around him. This would seem to relate to the idea that the Übermensch is motivated by a love for life and the earth, as opposed to a struggle for escape.

A curious remark from an agent in the field. I will try to get more information, but I fear s/he may already have deactivated their scanner.
