And last thought for the day, what came out of the #ShaperData anomaly? Shortly after the #ShaperData anomaly, Hazdata began to "clean" out the Niantic Project facility.

NIANTIC HISTORY SPECIAL: The Niantic Shutdown. Good afternoon Investigators of Operation Essex. My name is Mustafa Said and this is Today in Niantic History. While the events of Operation #ShaperData were ensuing, another catastrophic event took place, one that had been prophesied but despite our knowledge of its arrival, no one was ready for what would happen next. In the midst of the Anomaly, the Niantic Project facility was seized by a group called HAZDATA....rumors persisted that someone had died in the event... The fact that the Niantic Project was getting shuttered was no real surprise. It was how it happened that freaking everyone out. It was a takeover, a uprising. The aftereffects of this would resonate forever within the world of Ingress. No more Niantic. So what would take its place? The three XM development Corporations: IQTech Research , Visur Technology and Hulong Transglobal would rise up to fill the void Niantic left. Discuss and share your thoughts down below. Keep on ...

With that in mind, I do not intend to stop making updates here. The schedule I'm looking at now in terms of how the series will move forward is as follows: Mon-Thurs: Niantic History updates on Operation Essex Friday: Niantic History update and This Week in Niantic History review exclusively on DeCode Ingress.
