This Saturday, the Shards of enoch dalby are going to emerge in Zurich, and the Factions are going to battle it out to try and gain control of them.  So, who exactly is enoch? Here's the top line from my point of view (feel free to add other details you think are important in the comments). He was recruited to the Niantic Project in parallel with Carrie Campbell. They had a close personal relationship before Niantic, and that relationship continued through the research project and until her untimely death during Operation Cassandra. This relationship ran deep. It was more than just physical or emotional. These two were connected at a whole different level. Enoch was a tremendous sensitive. While at Niantic, they were exploring the idea that his music was subconsciously channeling hidden messages contained within XM, and Carrie may have been the proof. She experienced a synesthetic reaction to enoch's music, and would express what she was sensing as images, drawings, shapes.  Th...

The Question: What happened at Jahan’s Family Mansion/Palace (I’m not sure what the right implication of the word ‘Haveli’ is) while she was off at Persepolis?   I’ve done some digging and here’s what I’ve come up with. First off, Constable Rakshan is keeping his mouth shut, but I doubt everybody around him has as, uh, close a relationship with Jahan as he did, so maybe some of them are talking. Story goes something like this. People heard gunfire the other night. They said it sounded odd and muffled, maybe it was silencers on the gun, maybe there’s some kind of... let’s say, anomalous activity messing with the sound.  So who killed the stiffs at Jahan’s palace?  Hulong is trying to convince us that they’re guards in service to Jahan. There are other stories buzzing around that they were Hulong/Strategic Explorations operatives and Ni and Smith don’t want it coming out that Hank Johnson took down a bunch of their thugs. Of course that might be disinformation. So make of it what you wil...

I read Hank Johnson's post from yesterday just as I was about to start formulating how to share something interesting that happened to me.  Hard to follow that guy, he's an eloquent sort, and my story's not nearly as cool. But here it is. Heat wave. Pretty bad one. Been going on a few months, but this weekend it really came to a head. Twenty thousand and one folks decided to turn their airconditioners on. And the grids went down. I lost power around 5pm or so yesterday and didn't get it back until earlier this morning. A forced time-out off the grid. Healthy every once and a while. Anyway. I got out of the house to get into the breeze. Went for a pretty long walk. I managed to catch the sunset by the ocean. And then I saw a flash over the horizon. It seemed to have form and shape. It was twisting in the sky. And then it was gone. That's it. Was it the universe sending me a message about Misty? Misty herself, somehow? I know she uses the stage magician and mentalist ...

An interesting tip from one of most trusted friends and Investigators about the #Abaddon Anomaly Series. Be sure to tune in to this week's #IngressReport for more details...

Yuri Alaric Nagassa. His energy pattern is tangled up in the Flash Shard Anomalies on 10/10 as well. What do we know about him? He's an astrophysicist who grew up among a native South American tribe called the Anazktec. Apparently, his father (a Soviet intelligence operative) was stationed at a remote monitoring station there. Yuri's early research posited that a ordered data signal seemed to be a new kind of astronomical phenomenon (he thought it might be a kind of radioactivity). Turns out, like Bogdanovich, he was looking in the wrong direction, and what he was seeing on his instruments was actually the trace effects of Exotic Matter. His value to Niantic stemmed as much from his scientific prowess as from his intimate knowledge of a pure and ancient way of living and interacting with XM. The Anazktec, like many ancient peoples, had developed their own mythology around Exotic Matter and Portals. It's likely they were able to manipulate it in sophisticated ways as well. Y...

So, according to those IQTech Research docs about the Flash Shard Anomalies, one of the XM disturbances contains the energy pattern of Misty Hannah. I figured that was a good excuse to try and summarize some of the key things we know about her. I'll start, feel free to pile on. We know she grew up around Marfa, TX. From what I've heard, her mom had moved to a hippy compound near there when Misty was pretty young. She had her first XM encounter around then, too. She saw a green flash (look it up, it's a pretty rare optical phenomenon) that was accompanied by an interaction with some kind of mystical figure. Flash forward, and she's working as a magician in the Vegas and LA magic scenes. Some think she's using the stage persona to hide very real powers, stuff like ESP, but that's obviously very hard to prove.  What we do know is that Calvin was deeply interested in her talents. She was one of the few Niantic Project members to have also been a part of the project ...
