The time has come for me to share the follow-up to the dossier I recently compiled about the Acolyte; what follows is the high-level summary of everything I was able to pull together from Felicia Hajra-Lee and other inside sources within the XM research and development community about the Anti-Magnus leader, Jahan. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/31/who-is-jahan/

Agents, I've obtained declassified versions of the documents that Agents in Hong Kong, Vienna and Orlando helped assemble earlier this week thanks to a clue from a person I suspect to be Jahan. These documents reveal the Flash Shard Impact zones for all three Primary Anomaly sites on April 2. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/30/flash-shards-anomaly-intel-for-2-apr-2016/

There are a number of unanswered questions about this so-called 'Vesuvian Magnus,' but there is one area where I'm inclined to agree with Hank and Dr. Wright... I think Obsidius was a pawn in a much larger game. And that, my friends, may have some pretty seriously implications on our world today. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/29/the-traitors/

I've obtained another letter from Obsidius. This one is addressed to his commander (who could that be?). It's clear from the contents that as the voyage proceeded, Obsidius was growing more and more uncomfortable with his situation. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/28/secrecy/

Agents, we’re hurtling towards a moment of truth. In just under a week, the Resistance and the Enlightened… Jahan and the Acolyte… Anti-Magnus and 13MAGNUS… and possibly even the N’zeer and the Shapers will go head to head in a struggle that will span the globe, all to determine the fate of the Obsidian Shield. Are you prepared for that battle? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/27/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-march-27-2016/

I received this cryptic image earlier today. Right now, I'm operating under the assumption that it's a Portal Clue, leading either to a single or multiple locations --- hopefully our investigation will lead to the truth of that matter. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/26/citadel/

A letter between Obsidius and his friend Marcus. Reading between the lines, this letter reveals an important fact: Obsidius himself seemed to have been developing some doubts about the nature of his mission. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/25/inquiries/

Relying on the secrets contained in an ancient document, Jahan is hoping to find any way possible to reach her endgame. Success for her will ultimately rest on the shoulders of the Resistance Agents at the Anomalies next week, but if she does succeed, it could dramatically alter the landscape of our world. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/23/absolute-faith

It seems the brass at IQTech Research have been keeping a close watch on Stein Lightman, most likely in the hopes that he will return to his past form as a highly skilled Glyph expert. We know from the news of the last few days that Lightman's been in touch with Jahan, but based on this transcript it seems he may also be researching other avenues, including the mysterious Glyph Command Channel. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/22/lightmans-recovery/

Agents around the world - in Japan, Italy, the United States, Malta, Germany, France, India and Russia worked together over the weekend to help recover these words from the Acolyte. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/21/the-secrets-of-the-shield/

Have you noticed, Agents? The ominous quiet? I don’t know about you, but I’m bracing myself. So where do things stand? Time for a weekly wrap-up... #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/20/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-march-20-2016/

Another Portal Clue emerged earlier today. I don't know where it will lead us, but I'm fairly certain that's the Acolyte at the center of the image. Agents, let me know what you find, and from where, in the comments. Good hunting. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/19/portal-clue-obsidian-journey/

The IQTech documents that surfaced yesterday made mention of Jahan's communications with Lightman. I sent out some probes to see what could be discovered. This online chat transcript seems to confirm that Jahan has indeed been in touch with the former Glyph expert. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/18/an-ancient-codex/

I've obtained declassified versions of IQTech's Anomaly Intel documents for the #IngressObsidian Anomalies on April 2nd. These detailed documents by IQTech Research outline the scoring mechanics and rules for the Obsidian Finale Anomalies, and are a must-read for anyone looking to take part in an Anomaly that day. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/17/iqtech-anomaly-intel-for-april-2-anomalies/

The most recent Obsidius Fragment revealed one of Cybella's darker visions. Perhaps spurred by that, it seems Hank Johnson has once again attempted to de-escalate the war between Jahan and the Acolyte as they race for control of the Obsidian Shield, an ancient Artifact that has put Hank in a state of deep unease. #InvestigateIngress   http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/16/the-path-of-fire/

Our #ObsidianExplorers in Reims, France, were able to recover this fascinating but troubling fragment from the Explorations of Obsidius. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this one in the comments... there's a lot to discuss... #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/15/obsidius-xxxii-xxxv-osbidian-and-ash/

Thanks to our #ObsidianExplorers , we've been able to gain access to yet another important and fascinating fragment of the Obsidius Journals. Excellent work, Agents. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/15/intel-recovered-the-mars-gate-porte-mars-reims-france/

A new Portal Clue has surfaced courtesy of a source who has been silent for some weeks... Agents, please help me identify this image and recover the media from the Portal it indicates. Share a video of your adventure as you help recover this fragment of the Obsidius Journals: Post it in the comments, and share it using the hashtag #ObsidianExplorer. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/14/new-portal-clue-war

After the events of the last few days, my attention’s been fixed on the upcoming Anomalies on April 2. We’ve learned some important things about them this week, thanks to the Acolyte, Jahan, Agent BigMatty and Agents around the world. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/13/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-march-13-2016/ http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/13/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-march-13-2016

It seems the clue recovered yesterday led Agents to Portals around the world, and the recovery of some intel related to the upcoming #IngressObsidian Anomalies on April 2. #InvestigateIngress  http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/12/anomalyintel-fragments-recovered

I received this anonymously a few minutes ago. A tracert of the sender's IP seems to show some of the same patterns as Jahan's recent communications with me, but I cannot confirm that she is the source or that this is the intel that she had attempted to use as leverage with the Enlightened Agents in control of the Harlan Box. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/11/portal-clue-intel-from-unknown-source/

Agents, I pulled out every contact I could muster, including sources at all three major XM corporations, Felicia Hajra-Lee (who is currently working on a project about what happened around the Darsana Point) and asked them all a single question: What do we know about the Acolyte and Jahan. Today, I’ll share what I’ve learned about the Acolyte. #InvestigateIngress  http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/11/whoistheacolyte/

Agent thedeacon1972, a Resistance Agent, had a fairly strong reaction to the letter from Jahan that I shared yesterday. His open response to her is worth reading. He brings to surface some of the issues that have led to a fracturing of the Resistance ideology, in particular its increasingly close association to the N'zeer. ‪#‎InvestigateIngress‬ http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/10/a-resistance-agents-responseto-jahan

I had been wondering when we would hear a reaction from either Jahan or the Acolyte about the choice made by Agent BigMatty and his fellow Enlightened earlier this week. I received this (somewhat scathing) letter from Jahan earlier today, along with a request to publish it. ‪#‎InvestigateIngress‬ http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/09/jahan-attacks-theenlightened-choice

Earlier today, Dr. Wright posted on G+ that Agent BigMatty would be using his time on Behind the Scanner tomorrow evening to reveal some important information. I reached out personally to followup and see if I could get any additional info. He confirmed that he intends to use his appearance to make some or all of this information he gained from the Acolyte public. He'll also be sharing the story of some of the incredible events that have surrounded him and his fellow Agents the last few weeks. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/09/bigmatty-to-reveal-anomaly-intel-on-bts-tomorrow/

This is the second letter from Obsidius to his unknown friend, Marcus. It seems one of his traveling companions may have been placed with him for a darker purpose. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/09/obsidius-syphaxthe-assassin

A source sent this to me, claiming there were more like it out there. Apparently, somewhere along his journey, Obsidius began to send letters to a friend via a series of intermediaries. According to the source, these letters shed light on Obsidius's relationship with Syphax and Cybella as they continued on their long journey for the Magnus. #InvestigateIngress   http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/08/obsidius-letter-to-marcus-i/

Agents, it’s been an incredible week. The events that have unfolded over the past few days have brought thousands of Agents into a global dialogue about what they stand for, and what the right path forward is - for their Factions and for all of us. If you missed any of the action, here’s your opportunity to catch up. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/06/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-march-6-2016/

It's been kind of a whirlwind, watching the last 24 hours unfold. Over 12,000 of you voiced your opinion in the online poll yesterday, and the vote was split right down the middle. Reliable sources have told me that Dr. Wright and Hank Johnson both spoke privately with Agent BigMatty but chose to remain neutral in terms of guiding his and his fellow Agents' decision. Just a few hours ago, their choice emerged. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/05/an-enlightened-choice/

Yesterday, Agent BigMatty and his fellow Enlightened were given a difficult choice: Share the Artifacts from the metal box (what some are now calling the Harlan box) with the Acolyte or with Jahan. What would you choose in their shoes? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/04/what-would-you-choose/

This week on the #IngressReport: Susanna Moyer, on the ground in Seattle, takes a look at the first day of #Obsidian Anomalies. The Enlightened push hard, and end the day with a major advantage heading into the #Obsidian Anomalies on April 2. Agent BigMatty and Susanna work together to unlock a mysterious box that now seems to sit at the heart of a controversial decision facing the Enlightened Faction.  #InvestigateIngress   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-9aExefA4Y&index=1&list=PLDEUWItbkQ58tp0PdkuRw7a3cXL3V7G4v

The Agents in control of the contents of the box from Seattle have been given a difficult choice: Trade their precious knowledge with Jahan, and gain highly beneficial intelligence in return. Or, share what they have discovered with the Acolyte. What she offers in return is less valuable, but unlike Jahan, she and the Enlightened Agents who control the box share a common cause. #InvestigateIngress  http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/03/deal-with-the-devil

My sources tell me fragments of this transcript were recovered by Agents taking part in GORUCK Spec Op exercises in Seattle this past weekend. Johnson continues to serve as a voice of almost paranoid concern about the Acolyte and Jahan's fanatical pursuit of the Obsidian Shield. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/02/first-the-shield/
