At the Obsidian anomaly in Vienna we had the chance to meet the Acolyte. When I talked to her she gave me a shell and told me that this will help to continue the path we are walking (sadly I do not remember the exact wording - I was too tired and exhausted).  Maybe this is a hint for the next anomaly or the next steps she will take? Are there others who got something else?

Theories on the current Global XM Drought

Theories on the current Global XM Drought Not long after the Obsidian anomaly came to a close agents began reporting an absence of XM clouds at portals. Since the Acolyte had possession of the arrowheads from Harlan's Box and the Enlightened faction controlled the anomaly's frequency affinity most theorists attribute the XMWeather phenomenon to her activating the Obsidian Shield. I'd like to propose we consider possible mechanisms for the change. As a default position I'll state one simple theory. The Acolyte wanted to shut out N'Zeer influence and used the shield to do so.from that one might assume the XM clouds were created by the N'Zeer and they can no longer do so. Another possibility would be that the clouds were created by shapers to dampen N'Zeer transmissions at portals and those jamming signals are no longer necessary, freeing up the shapers to focus on some other goal. It could also be that the XM clouds were a byproduct of friction between compet...

After getting eye of this code for the first time through the Isthmus HO Street Team, together with agent @manriver we decided to crack it down. After several hours of decrypting and verifying through several ways to rule out any errors inside it,  this was the obtained results: "They are our guide. They are the way. They are truth.

"What is the nature of November Lima​​?" Part 8 in my ongoing series of polls is concerned with the nature/purpose of this former NIA van. Some interesting thoughts were shared awhile back when Edgar Allan Wright​​ was pondering this question: https://plus.google.com/110289508116377658380/posts/TuZrodtLFQk NL1331 is shrouded in mystery; it appears that the list of people authorised to know its true nature is incredibly short. I agree with others who have proposed that it is a specially adapted vehicle that can house the natural bodies of simulacra. Other common theories include the idea that it is simply a mobile portal. Additionally it has been suggested that it is an experimental prototype powered by xm rather than fossil fuel. There is also some sort of connection between Hubert Farlowe​​ and NL1331 that is yet to be fully understood. Perhaps it's primary function has something to do with Farlowe. Finally, there are a myriad of alternative theories that space doesn...

"Who is missing from the three empty capsules/pods/sarcophagi of Abaddon at CERN?"

"Who is missing from the three empty capsules/pods/sarcophagi of Abaddon at CERN?" Part 7 of my series of polls is a departure from the list of flint dille​​'s questions from Ingress Origins.

I have a theory I would like to throw here under the advice of other agents that I've discussed this with. flint dille​​​ posed the question "What is Klue S.​​​'s real identity? She might be in this book!" Referring to Ingress origins. After reading the book a few times, theres been one unnamed character that has been stuck in my mind even before this question was written by Flint. She is easy to pass over but a very unique person in my opinion and is oddly placed with no explanation at all. She is only seen once in the entire book, and literally sits in the middle of the page as it transitions to Devras seminar. I have found no other record of this girl but she seems to be drawing and as I said before she seems unique from her hair color which is a dark blue to a long sleeved blue dress. Who is this character? Is she Klue? It seems like any other guess to me has been far too obvious...  update after looking up Zuur Hall with UCLA I've located another connection...

"Who is Devra Bogdanovich​​​ running from really?"-Part 6 in my ongoing series investigating the questions posed by flint dille​​​ on signed copies of Tycho C.​​​'s Ingress Origins. I have interpreted this question as referring to what has motivated Devra to leave/flee/escape the Niantic Project at CERN. Other readings are possible as it could be argued that Devra continued running long after she escaped Niantic: she ran from Visur Technology​​​ and perhaps kept running. I am, as always, eager to hear other interpretations, perspectives, and views. That's why I always leave " Other" as an option. Perhaps the most straightforward interpretation is that Devra is simply the most extreme case of "resistance syndrome", the effect of increased fear and paranoia induced by exposure to xm in approximately 50% of subjects. If we imagine this as a spectrum, Devra is perhaps the most negatively affected sensitive at Niantic. Her behaviour is a symptom of xm ...

Image
The Titanomachy was the great conflict where Zeus and his Olympian siblings waged war against Kronos and his fellow Titans. The war is narrated in Hesiod's Theogony, as well as in a lost epic poem, Titanomachy. Most agents are probably at least superficially familiar with this Greek myth. Kronos swallows his children to prevent them from challenging his authority. Zeus escapes and frees his siblings from the belly of Kronos. Some Titans, like Prometheus side with Zeus. After a terrible war the Titans were overthrown and imprisoned in Tartarus, below Hades. I believe that the Titanomachy was actually the struggle between the Shapers and the N'Zeer passing into myth. Crucially a version of the Titanomachy is found again and again in ancient cultures First, it is important to highlight some interesting parallels between ancient conceptions of the war in heaven and the conflict between the Shapers and N'Zeer. First, there were 12 dominant Titans, also thought of us as Elder go...

"Who do you think set up flint dille​​ [in Seattle]? (Hint: AL)"

"Who do you think set up flint dille​​ [in Seattle]? (Hint: AL)" Part 5 of my series exploring and polling the investigative community on the questions posed by flint dille​​ on signed copies of Tycho C.​​'s Ingress Origins graphic novel. As most of you are aware, flint dille​​ was abducted in Seattle on the eve of the Obsidian anomaly there. He was freed thanks to the timely intervention of GORUCK​​ agents who were also able to recover the scattered Intel that Flint's contact was forced to ditch. We were all relieved that flint dille​​ escaped unharmed and that the Intel was ultimately recovered. As an investigative community, we owe it to each other to try and establish who set Flint up. It is imperative that we know who we can, and can't trust. When a member of our community is threatened, we need to take it seriously. Now, it seems like flint dille​​ either knows, or strongly suspects, who betrayed him. Perhaps out of a fear of retribution, he feels he can...

"What is the special sensitive power of Hubert Farlowe​"

"What is the special sensitive power of Hubert Farlowe​" Part 4 in my series of answer polls to flint dille​'s questions posed on signed copies of Tycho C.​'s Ingress Origins. This is a really tricky one. Despite at one time being a prolific poster on G+, there is still so little we know for sure about Farlowes agenda and whereabouts. As always, I will give my personal analysis and also attempt to present other perspectives. My personal view is that Farlowe possess a keen sense of situational awareness and threat detection that is heightened and enhanced by xm. This explains his uncanny ability to detect and intercept would be assassins of Devra Bogdanovich​ twice in Ingress Origins. There is, however. some ambiguity in this question: it's not clear whether Farlowe gained additional abilities after interacting with Jarvis. There is evidence that Farlowe is now some sort of xm entity but he had emphatically denied that he is a simulacrum on multiple occasions. Ther...

I don't know if this have been posted before, but after reading #IngressOrigins I realized there were some weird things. First of all, I saw a creepy  smiling man's face behind Devra on the cover of the comic. I don't know who is him. Second, I realized there were some encrypted codes (using braile, morse and barcodes), but I think they've been decrypted already. And the most interesting thing I found were some links who lead to Niantic's files (I don't know if they have been published before since I'm just getting started on getting on the backstory of Ingress).

Looks like this could become an interesting discussion over on Isthmus. Originally shared by Jennifer Brozek (GaanEden) Glyph Talk 1/5: The Senders I’ve got a series of related topics and theories when it comes to the glyphs and the glyph language we see coming from the portals. In this first post, I’m going to focus on the senders themselves. Before I begin I want to set out a couple of definitions.  -- A meme is an idea or concept that spreads from person to person within a culture. -- A memetic language is a language based on units of culture.   Based on the research gathered from around the world and shared with me (thank you Agent Codon011), I want to propose three theories.   Theory 1: Glyphs are a universal memetic language. Theory 2: There are two different ideological groups of senders. Theory 3: There are some glyphs that one side will not use because it is not part of their culture.   Theory 1: Glyphs are a universal memetic language Rather than an actual written language li...

"What is Klue S.​'s real identity? She might be in this book!" (Ingress Origins)

"What is Klue S.​'s real identity? She might be in this book!" (Ingress Origins) Part 3 in my series of answers/polls to the questions posed by flint dille​ on his signed copies of Ingress Origins from Obsidian Seattle. Klue has always been an enigma, wrapped in a mystery. From puzzling about her ontological nature as KlAda (Klue "hosting" A.D.A.), to her relationship to H. Richard Loeb​, Klue has perplexed, and variously befriended, Resistance and Enlightened alike. The prospect that she might feature in Tycho C.​'s Ingress Origins is an intriguing prospect; it means Klue S.​ was a playing a part in things long before we were previously aware. On another level, it's a bit disturbing because, if true, it means we know far less about her than we might have thought. However, confronting the extent of our ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. Therefore, let's press on. I personally believe that the best candidate is Katalena, the woman who witnessed the...

"What was Calvin trying to create at Niantic?"

"What was Calvin trying to create at Niantic?" This is the second part of my series of answer polls of flint dille​'s questions, posed on signed copies of Tycho C.​'s "Ingress Origins". Essentially, this question goes to the heart of the inscrutable motivations of the enigmatic mastermind of the Niantic Project. Ezekiel Calvin has been described as a puppet master and it is probably safe to say that no one truly knows his long-term master plan except him. Nevertheless, I believe we can make some reasonable inferences about his probable objectives. Calvin is clearly a man possessed with a formidable intellect and an audacious ambition. Such people, from time immemorial, usually covet the same objectives: power, wealth, wisdom, fame and immortality. Thanks to the revelations of Abaddon, we now know that a hidden aspect of the Niantic Project involved turning all of the researchers, including Calvin, into simulacra. What we don't know, is why? It could be t...

So I was finally able to acquire my very own copy of Ingress Origins. I was so excited to read it and highly recommend that all investigators try and get their hands on a copy. I have resolved to work through each of Flint's questions in turn, and decided to start with one that seemed straightforward. After I started trying to pin down the answer, it proved to be surprisingly difficult. I am trying to ascertain which of the Niantic Researchers began as Enlightened. Flint hinted that there are five. There is a section in the comic that deals with this, where Devra is discussing how some of the researchers are calling themselves the Enlightened and are embracing the creativity inspired by the xm. The others are apparently responding with increased mistrust and fear. Given what we know and the names Devra lists, Roland Jarvis​, enoch dalby​, and Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​ are obvious members. It seems safe to add Hank Johnson​ at this point; although Devra doesn't mention him we know of...

As spring threatens to overcome us all, I am going to make another attempt at a grand unified theory of Ingress.

As spring threatens to overcome us all, I am going to make another attempt at a grand unified theory of Ingress. Portals are places where exotic matter allows different branes and different world-lines to communicate. This is easiest to see in the Shapers plea to avoid war: I contend that the Shapers are so alarmed by war because what we call the Shapers are in fact, echoes on an exotic matter drum from an extinguished human timeline where war has destroyed the future. CREATE NEW FUTURE. As  an Enlightened Agent I must hear that call. We seem to have a different faction the Resistance who discount the Shapers message and instead hear the call of the N'zeer. It is my supposition that the N'zeer represent human and posthuman worldlines that have escaped the 'Great Filter' and thus the existential danger that ended the Shapers.  The Enlightened err in being prejudiced against sophonts of computational substrate, the Resistance in seeing the seeing the Shapers as something ...

Since posting about the successful communication with the Acolyte via Luma Viride - I've received lots of questions basically related to getting further information from the Acolyte. Many of you know my belief that "it never hurts to ask"... so why don't we collect these questions here on this thread, and hope that some formal answers are received? Please post questions for the Acolyte below. Note: This is just an attempt, there is no formal agreement or arrangement she will answer. Edgar Allan Wright Hank Johnson H.

If there are more glyph points do they represent a combination lock or a control panel? Originally shared by Matt Stevenson (BigMatty) What's In The Box? Wow! I have maybe been asked this question once or twice lately! :-) As many of you know, we were encouraged to keep information related to the box obtained from Susanna Moyer private by both Edgar Allan Wright and Hank Johnson . We did so, and when presented with a question by both the Acolyte and Jahan as to who (if any) would receive the contents of the box, we of course chose the Acolyte! Upon her request delivered via Luma Viride we would like to share with everyone the following pictures. H. Richard Loeb Operation Essex Andrew Krug Linda B
