The #Cassandra Anomaly series is about to begin… Track the action on the ground as it happens with the #Cassandra Anomaly Scoreboard, and keep an eye on +Ingress as the next 24 hours unfold for updates as they happen. From TS-OSIRIS, Carrie Campbell’s… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/07/27/the-cassandra-anomalies-day-one-scoreboard/

Agents, Decoders, Glyph Experts: Cassandra approaches, and your Factions need you more than you know. Now is your moment to shine... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/07/26/cassanda-volatile-intel/

Here's some Anomaly Intel related to Operation Cassandra. Yeah, I managed to exfil data from OSIRIS. Ask me how next time you see me. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/07/15/operation-cassandra-anomaly-intel/

The final message from the NIA operatives in Cross Plains to Hank Johnson: "Hank. The Enlightened Agents TwoColorCrayon and pincushion1 met us this morning and have taken possession of the artifact, as well as any intel we had to share. It was a relief to see them, but our smiles bely the worry that they now carry a grave burden... one that nearly drove us to the brink..."

Another intercepted transmission from the group of NIA operatives to Hank Johnson: "Hank -- we have been studying the artifact. It came to life in strange ways during the storm last night. Blue and green lightning lit up the sky and the tome began to react unpredictably. We lack the strength to remove the artifact from here -- it has already affected us in powerful ways. We are tempted to destroy it, but such a powerful object may summon untold forces to defend itself... If an Agent finds us in Cross Plains on Saturday we will pass it to them. Perhaps they can continue our work..."

Another intercepted message to Hank Johnson from the group of NIA operatives: "Hank -- storm coming this way -- a big one.. Diodati class... Someone or something does not want us here. We are falling back to basecamp. Will return to the dig site when it's safe. REH was more of a sensitive than any of us knew... His visions may help us more than we first thought."

A source intercepted a message to Hank Johnson sent from a group of NIA operatives: "Hank -- your input on the dig was incredibly valuable. Safe travels. The work here must continue. We'll investigate until Saturday night and see if we uncover anything additional. REH was onto something..." Hank -- care to comment?

Agents -- time to don your expedition gear and dive into the unknown... RPE signups are live for the Camp Navarro and Schloss Kaltenberg Epiphany Night events... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/05/12/hank-johnson-rpe-signups-for-camp-navarro-schloss-kaltenburg/

A classified conversation between Hank Johnson and Akira Tsukasa reveals details about 'The Osiris Sequence' -- a bridge into a new universe made possible by Ingress Prime, and how our own universe may have discovered the mysteries of XM in the first place. Agents in the 'Osiris Universe' will be able to relive and change important Anomalies of the past and their outcomes, and define the ultimate future of that universe. -PAC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBVfoOZY-3M

My heartiest congrats to the Resistance. In particular, the efficacy of their Global Operations (capturing 3 of the 4 Global Operations, and contributing 15 of a 20 point winning delta) was commendable. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/04/07/resistance-win-darkxmcure-challenge/

With the Resistance in the lead, much depends on the 26 Link Operations, the Shard Operation in Fukuoka and the Portal Capture Operations around the globe this coming weekend. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/04/05/dark-xm-threat-and-response-reaching-the-end/

A message from the Acolyte via the Society for the Ethical Treatment of AIs: What threats do artificially intelligent systems pose? Among many others, "the highly effective, highly scalable manipulation of human behavior that AI enables, and its malicious… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/04/03/acolyte-our-goals-is-to-protect-the-purity-of-human-experience/

My congratulations to the the Resistance... their performance on Day 3 of the Dark XM Threat and Response Operation was powerful... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/04/02/dark-xm-threat-response-day-3/

As promised earlier, here is further Operation Intel related to the upcoming Dark XM counterpattern operation -- using Flash Shards across a 2 hour window -- that will take place in Fukuoka, Japan on April 7th. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/30/emerging-intel-dark-xm-counterresponse-shard-operation-in-fukuoka-part-2/

I've been able to obtain this Anomaly Intel related to TS-DARZALAS -- in particular a localized Dark XM threat and Shard based CounterResponse operation in Fukuoka, Japan on April 7th, 2018. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/30/emerging-intel-dark-xm-counterresponse-shard-anomaly-in-fukuoka-part-1/

A map... A redacted document... A fragment of obsidian. Who sent this mysterious package to Ishira the Glyph Hunter, and why? And what will it lead to... A new mystery is unfolding: TS-MORPHEUS -- the god of dreams... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/29/god-of-dreams/

Another ancient civilization that seems to have simply disappeared without a trace... all that's left now? Archeological geoglyphs -- the shapes they left carved into the earth... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/27/an-ancient-civilization-in-the-amazon/

Seven ancient power-spots reconstructed to reveal their former splendor. Hank Johnson: Did you have something to do with this? http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/26/the-past/

Congrats to the Resistance. As Day Two of the Dark XM Threat Response reached its end, they had gained a slight advantage, thanks in large part to their Agents around the world who captured huge swaths of Portals to claim the Global Challenge. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/25/dark-xm-threat-response-day-2/

Day Two of the global Dark XM Threat Response is about to begin... be sure to tune in to my Scoreboard page to check in on the latest results, and follow reports of Agent adventures on Google+ with the hashtag #DarkXMCure. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/23/dark-xm-threat-and-response-day-two-approaching/

This writer probes possible futures where the Human and the Artificially Intelligent are interwoven. The predictions range from the amusing to the sad. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/22/dreams-and-nightmares/

There are a number of Agent-driven projects probing the depth of XM's mysteries... One of the most incredible among them is Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa's Glyph Journal -- which explores the hidden meaning and power of this mind-altering language. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/20/a-glyph-hunters-journey/

News emerged earlier this month that May 2018 will feature not one, but two MAGNUS events. Camp Navarro will once again be alive with creative potential -- and this year, the energy will extend across the Atlantic into Schloss Kaltenberg in Geltendorf,… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/19/upcoming-magnus-events/

My congrats to Agents for a successful Day One Response... both Factions came together for a series of impressive operations. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/18/dark-xm-threat-response-day-1/

A contact who has access to various Intel Community watchlists tipped me off that an individual claiming to be Tycho was spotted entering Tokyo... What could he be up to? http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/16/a-tycho-in-tokyo/

Agents around the world are gearing up for this weekend and the first response to the mysterious Dark XM threat. We'll be watching things unfold closely... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/16/dark-xm-threat-response-day-one-approaching/

There's an interesting discussion to be had -- about AI and the future of the species in general -- but in particular how these fall into the viewpoints of each Faction. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/15/picking-sides/

"We should seek the greatest value of our action." http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/13/a-dice-thrown-where-we-cannot-see/

An XM researcher once used a model very similar to what's described in this article to explain how a Sensitive's mind was tuned compared to a non-Sensitive. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/12/brainwaves/

I wonder if this place, like many others we know of, could have been under the control of an ancient society like 13MAGNUS or AntiMagnus. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/11/the-gates-of-hell/

Here is another incredibly detailed recollection of the #ChicagoRPE, by Agent Arielsmurfeater. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/10/chicago-rpe-report-2/

I was looking for any reports on the #ChicagoRPE that may have emerged during my absence -- I found a few excellent ones. Here is the first, by Agent KoshTheRipper. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/09/chicago-rpe-report-1/

A reliable source informs me that OPR in the Ingress Scanner is getting a boost. Details should emerge via official channels shortly... keep an ear to the ground. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/08/breaking-opr-submission-limit-update/

I mentioned yesterday some Anomaly Intel was headed my way... here it is. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/07/dark-xm-threat-and-response/

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/06/new-journey/

I've just learned that Operation Essex Remote Participation Experimenter KoshTheRipper will be leading an open, Hangouts-on-Air based journey into the RPE that took place in Chicago last weekend. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/16/one-more-chance-the-chicago-rpe/

The document below emerged, severely redacted, less than 24 hours ago. Within just a short amount of time, Agents of both Factions eviscerated the coded secrets hidden within it... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/14/mysterious-aberrations/

The upcoming RPE event in Chicago has spurred some fascinating research from Operation Essex Investigator, Agent Melissa. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/09/gazing-into-chicago/

The Nomad (aka Hank Johnson, current director of the NIA) reaches out to Misty Hannah -- could this be related to the missing files we learned about a few days ago? http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/07/a-message-from-a-nomad/

An interesting article on the nature of consciousness in unexpected places -- how far do the effects of XM extend? http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/06/beyond-the-human-mind/

It appears some old files have gone missing at the NIA -- curious what Hank Johnson is digging into that someone wanted buried so deeply... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/04/missing-files/

Agent Jaicat -- resident Glyph Musician -- probes the sounds of the end of a civilization. A dangerous space in thought to explore... I hope he was careful. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/04/hearing-the-end/

What an incredible find... an amazing application of a powerful technology. The ruins of a massive ancient city have been discovered in Guatemala... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/03/forest-of-secrets/

I wonder if this is evidence of the N'zeer's influence on early humanity... could this be part of the secret that Jahan's family is hiding? http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/02/01/the-influencers/

Agents, I've been informed that signups for the RPE at G-Mart Comics in Chicago on February 10th from 12-3PM will close tomorrow at the end of the day. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/31/rpe-in-chicago-signups-closing-tomorrow/

Hank Johnson mourns the loss of a beautiful and powerful ancient site to the ravages of time and war. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/30/memory-and-experience/

Historians and cryptanalysts struggled to make sense of this intriguing artifact for a century. Then, they tried using an artificial intelligence... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/29/cracking-the-voynich/

Some days ago I mentioned that I was able to uncover an internal centralOmnilytics site designed to allow analysts to contribute their responses to The Redacted Report. This site has now been revealed... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/29/murder-at-the-nia-analyst-response-portal/

Fascinating news... a renowned fiction author will be funding a massive operation aimed at digitizing nearly 5000 books and manuscripts, some several hundred years old... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/28/ancient-manuscripts/

Ishira's analysis of the dangerous 'Civilization Self-Destruct Code' is incredible, and it raises some very important questions. A must read. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/27/ishiras-analysis-the-self-destruct-sequence/

A couple of men in dark suits began tailing me early yesterday. I went underground to try and lose them, but they kept picking up my scent. Deep in the city it's hard, if not impossible, to go off grid entirely. Cameras everywhere. Microphones. Eyes. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/26/the-self-destruct-sequence/

Some days ago I had surfaced a few rumors about NL-1331's next deployment in the Pacific region. We've recently been able to recover additional intel about this new and updated experiment from Akira Tsukasa. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/24/autonomous/

How did our ability to think at the level we do evolve in the first place... did XM and the "Shaper Mind Virus" play a role? http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/22/mind-virus/

Agents, here's the signup sheet for the Chicago Ingress RPE. Everything I've heard about it so far sounds incredible... envious of the Agents who'll be there on the ground. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/21/signup-sheet-for-chicago-ingress-rpe/

Interesting leak... Personally I'm glad to see Hank striving to do more in his new role at the NIA. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/21/reinvention/

Fascinating story about a vanished civilization in the Cyclades (off the coast of mainland Greece)... Its builders had created an incredibly advanced city... one with sophisticated metallurgical skills, underground drainage systems and a pyramidal… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/20/rise-fall/

Got a tip from a source at IQTech. A memorandum circulated earlier today revealed that the corporation is proceeding to the deployment phase with their Quantum Capsule technology... These XM Objects will likely be hackable from the Portal Network… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/18/quantum-capsule-deployment/

Chicago's fascinating history hides many secrets... some of which have never been uncovered. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/17/below/

Put your thinking hats on, Investigators... A source turned me on to to a protected internal site used by centralOMNILYTICS' analysts to compile reports. It seems to only contain one ongoing operation: The Redacted Report. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/17/the-answers/

My own experiences with XM, as well as seeing the powers and perceptions of the incredible sensitives I have encountered over the years, leads me to believe that this theory could be true: The brain is a quantum interface. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/15/a-quantum-machine/

I believe these to be the final pages of The Redacted Report -- they cover the Acolyte, Twyla Klippe (who may or may not be the same person) and centralOmnilytics' final conclusion about the deaths of Calvin, Phillips and Owen. Of course, much of this… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/14/the-redacted-report-part-9/

In my mind, there are three forces colliding in the journey that leads down the road of 'artificial intelligence' and towards the creation of 'synthesized minds.' http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/13/more-human/

I'm attempting to learn more about a deployment of NL-1331A to Australia, New Zealand and Japan. I'm hearing that Akira's pushing for next-gen technology to be implemented immediately in the fleet -- against the objections of some of her researchers who… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/13/nl-1331a-deployment-australia-new-zealand-japan/

It's rare that you find an article that explains something as complex as Quantum Computing in such a friendly and easy to understand manner. Great read. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/11/the-next-machines/

Hearing some chatter about this... details are sparse, but I've learned that a new RPE (Remote Participation Experiment -- a special kind of event that some have likened to a Role Playing Game) will unfold in Chicago on February 10th. The RPE will take… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/10/save-the-date-rpe-in-chicago/

Personally, I found The Redacted Report's take on ADA to be unsympathetic. But, I'll be the first to admit, I have a blind spot for her. To me, she's always seemed human or at least human-like in many important ways... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/10/the-redacted-report-part-8/

Some time ago I had shared news of Agent Jaicat's latest project -- a new project built around Glyph Phrases provided by fellow Agents. In the comments, Agent YutoRaion asked me for my contribution: Truth. Worth. Unbounded. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/09/the-worth-of-truth/

Akira -- the outsider, and perhaps the most enigmatic of the Persons of Interest -- in the spotlight... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/07/the-redacted-report-part-7/

There was a sentence in yesterday's section of The Redacted Report: "ADA's ability to allow or prevent changes to her own decision systems has been impossible to predict." It's why I've never considered the issue of the backdoor into ADA's processing core… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/07/the-choice-2/

I suppose it was only a matter of time before it was my turn in the hot seat. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/05/the-redacted-report-part-6/

Looks like I forgot to post this one to G+... here it is: A short but enigmatic conversation with Wright — he claimed to have nothing to do with The Redacted Report but mentioned off hand that the Agents who can fill in the most blanks optimally may someday have a chance to prove this and be rewarded… http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/03/the-redacted-report-part-4/

The Redacted Report turns its focus to Devra Bogdanovich. http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/04/the-redacted-report-part-5/

Part 3 of the Redacted Report.... Despite the bluster about confidentiality and classification, these seem to be anything but... It seems to me that whoever is creating these reports wants them out in the open... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/03/the-redacted-report-part-3/

My source tells me these numbered redactions may be part of some kind of classified research... Still looking for more details. Wright might be involved? Will keep you posted... http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/01/01/the-redacted-report-part-2/

Agents, Investigators, I say this occasionally, probably not as much as I should: Thank you for energy, your passion, your intelligence, your good intentions. You define Ingress and you define this Investigation. I hope to continue to be humbled by you,… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/31/endings-and-beginnings/

Not even close to a secure delivery... this literally landed in my inbox... It also arrived redacted as you see here (unlike last time when I was playfully redacting some sections of their documents to test the Investigative community). I have no further… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/31/the-redacted-report-part-1/

A curious document crossed my wires -- source: Central Omnilytics, who have previously produced some interested reading. Frankly, don't know what it means right now, but I suspect this is the beginning of something... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/30/a-secure-delivery/

After yesterday's post, I was made aware (via a comment) that Agent Jaicat has another project in the works... a Glyph Music project targeted for March of 2018... He'll be developing this new music based on Glyph sequences submitted by other fellow… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/29/jaicats-new-glyph-music-project/

Another stunning revelation by Agent Jaicat, whose 'Glyph Music' project continues to amaze and inspire me... His most recent upload -- Journey -- which he claims to have possibly originated from enoch dalby himself, is haunting. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/28/jaicats-journey/

Some folks asked me if this system being developed by the Pentagon is another fork of Omnivore, like ADA is (or was when she was first deployed to the Niantic Project... she's changed a lot since then...). The answer is I don't know, but if the answer… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/27/omnivores-kin/

My conversation with Misty at the Castle comes to an end... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/25/crossing-paths-at-the-castle-iv/

Part 3 of my conversation with Misty at the Castle. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/25/crossing-paths-at-the-castle-iii/

Part 2 of my meeting with Misty at the Magic Castle... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/24/crossing-paths-at-the-castle-ii/

I met Misty at the Magic Castle before leaving town... we had an interesting conversation, one which I'll be continuing to share over the coming days... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/23/crossing-paths-at-the-castle-i/

In the final moments of #EXO5, Hank Johnson shares his closing thoughts on the revelations that emerged over the course of the day before leaving Taipei, Taiwan. Some of these thoughts are verifiable... others, perhaps less so... Where is he right? Where… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/21/final-thoughts-by-hank-johnson/

In one of the final moments captured at #EXO5 San Francisco, Devra reveals her inner thoughts about another member of the XM Research community to a citizen Investigator... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/20/mutual-mistrust/

Akira and Devra bump into each other at #EXO5 San Francisco. It's a cold encounter -- it's likely they were both wearing masks -- but one of them's better at it... Devra doesn't really have a great answer for Akira's probing question... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/18/intentions/

Even outside the clandestine world, this grows increasingly normal... 'low-level' AIs begin to expand our understanding of the universe, showing us the hidden. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/17/uncover-everything/

Yes, I saw this. I wanted to not dignify it with a response, but let's set the record straight: No, I didn't 'attack' ingress.report because they revealed some stuff about me, as the operator(s) of that site have suggested, and as Agent YutoRaion asks.… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/17/a-disparaging-rumor/

Rumors had emerged of Agents witnessing this conversation between ADA at #EXO5 Tallinn, but no evidence had emerged to support it. Until now. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/15/where-there-was-one/

This moment, captured by a citizen Investigator at #EXO5 San Francisco, is made even more inexplicable in light of what we saw Misty say yesterday... What's her deal? She's an enigma through and through... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/15/a-moment-of-connection/

Misty Hannah -- captured at #EXO5 San Francisco by a citizen Investigator -- shares her thoughts on the Acolyte... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/14/not-who-she-says-she-is/

Misty Hannah has something to hide... What is it? http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/12/something-to-hide/

My sources at Visur and IQTech-East just shared some interesting news with me. At Visur, the technology being used to power the highly desired 'AXA Shield' has been ported to a new XM object called the 'Aegis Shield.' And over at IQTech-East, Akira's… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/11/the-aegis-shield-and-the-quantum-capsule/

Yes, I have been made aware of this video clip which was surfaced by the ingress.report yesterday. I will say that I only did what I did because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time, it was the choice that protected the most. I'll leave it at… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/10/a-complicated-situation/

Who gained from the deaths of Calvin and Phillips? Akira Tsukasa has the only right answer... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/09/something-to-gain/

An Investigator uncovered this -- captured during the recent #EXO5 Anomaly in San Francisco -- a change in Devra's access to critical information archives in a post-Calvin era? Something Hank Johnson opened up for his long-time friend? Is this motive for… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/07/a-motive-for-devra/

A number of interesting people (and myself) were present at #EXO5 San Francisco. Investigators captured a number of moments on camera. I'm continuing to uncover more... here's what I've got so far: http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/06/glimpses-of-exo5/

My answers to your questions from the last thread. Read on... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/12/05/in-which-pac-faces-the-heat/
