I found this in an envelope inside one of my usual safe dead drop spots. I checked with the source who usually uses that spot, and it wasn't him (different kind of envelope, too). Not sure what it means, or where it leads, but sharing it out in case… #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/31/the-circular/

Originally shared by H. Richard Loeb Yesterday, thousands of Agents joined forces around the world and fought to place their stamp on the future. I saw their pictures, I heard their stories... from Tainan, Rotterdam, Chiang Mai, Manila, St. Paul, Savannah, Cape Town. They surrounded me in Brooklyn. I heard about their bike teams and their GORUCK victories. Their link-bursts, and their incredible shard strategies. The upsets and the moonshots and the pride in victory, resilience in loss. But in truth, I was only thinking about one person the whole day. I was thinking about how the events of the day would affect her. Klue. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/30/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-may-29-2016/

http://investigate.ingress.com/aegis-nova-scoreboard/ Agents, The Aegis Nova Anomalies are beginning. The Factions are colliding to either help Jarvis reach into Klue's mind for ADA's weaknesses... or stop him in his tracks. Keep track of where things stand with the latest data on the Aegis Nova scoreboard.… http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/27/aegia-nova-anomalies-scoreboard/

Just received this from Anne. If anybody has any contact with Scott, please notify me. This is very significant. I'm really worried about Klue. I think it is becoming evident to all of us that Scott is a very high level sensitive who has become aware of things that certain people would rather stay hidden. The secrets of the cabin is out now, and there's probably going to be hell to pay. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/27/scott-and-anne-klue-in-danger/

INGRESS REPORT – Klue's Fate – May 26 2016 #IngressReport: Amazing sitreps from Germany, Korea, Sri Lanka and the USA. News about Aegis Nova. http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/26/ingress-report-klues-fate-may-26-2016/

Another communication from Scott to Anne. This is getting intense. What should I tell her? What could I tell her? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/26/scott-and-anne-the-voice/

Anne sent this my way just a few moments ago -- it's another email from Scott at the Compound. At this point I'm certain that her replies to Scott are not getting through, most likely due to the anomalous nature of the facility. And what the hell is going on with Klue? I knew she was going to be at this compound for some kind of ‘healing rite,’ but this is different. This feels dangerous. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/25/scott-and-anne-klues-arrival/

I've been corresponding via G+ for the last few days with a person who I'm only going to identify as 'Anne' for her privacy. She's given me permission to release some of our conversations and the email she's received. Her story is troubling... #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/24/scott-and-anne-the-compound/

Momentum. That's what this week has felt like to me. Behind closed doors, poring over every strategy and edge case, Agent leaders have been weighing the odds to try and claim victories on Saturday. In the shadows, the forces that we cover in our Investigation have been doing much the same. Everything is hurtling towards a decision point. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/22/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-may-22-2016/

I've obtained these declassified documents related to the upcoming Aegis Nova Anomalies. Combined with the Anomaly Zone maps that emerged a few days ago, these documents illuminate almost every aspect of the Anomalies that will take place next Saturday. For further questions, I'd recommend you contact Hulong Transglobal. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/21/declassified-aegis-nova-anomaly-intel/

Thanks to some excellent work by Agents in Italy and London, a clue found yesterday in a map of Rotterdam led to the recovery of this message. It was found at the Museum of St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. It appears to be from Nigel Moyer... It's written in short, broken, fragments... as if it was a struggle... could that imply his state of health? And the last line... 'Find my...' (The rest is missing...). What does it mean? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/21/a-cryptic-message-from-nigel-moyer/

A source leaked these maps to me just a few moments ago. I have not been able to confirm their veracity at this time, but for those working on preparing for the Aegis Nova Anomalies, I suspect they will be valuable nonetheless. My source told me this was just the first batch in a major series of leaks, with more coming today, so stay tuned. One of the maps seemed a little odd to me. Let me know if you can spot what I saw and figure out what it means. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/20/hulong-anomaly-intel-massive-maps-leak/

It seems that my failures have come back to haunt Klue. Threads of ADA left in her mind have been disrupting her peace. And the Acolyte has stepped in... offering peace through some kind of 'Rite of Transition.' Klue S.... I hope you know what you're doing. Agents, what do you think of Klue's decision? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/19/klues-nightmares-and-her-dream/

Check this out. An internal NIA letter just revealed a possible lead into what's happening with ADA and Lynton-Wolfe. Apparently, some feelers have emerged checking into the salary requirements of scientists who could help support an XM lab. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/18/pointed-inquiries/

What separates us from ADA? I don't know if we'll ever be able to answer that question, but Jahan narrows the scope in her own evaluation. In her mind, the future she wants the N'zeer to help create is very different from that what ADA is pursuing. For Jahan, this is a humanitarian mission, one founded in empathy and human need. What do you think? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/16/what-separates-us-from-ada/

Our week began with a revelation, one brought to us by Agents in San Diego: The destructive attack on the Enlightened compound -- the one that caused Oliver Lynton-Wolfe to go to ground -- was caused by ADA. We began this week with a single question: Why? And then something astounding happened. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/15/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-may-15-2016/

In a surveilled conversation, Hank Johnson and the Acolyte discuss the implications of the report recovered by Agents in San Diego. The Acolyte firmly believes that Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and ADA were behind the recent changes to XM and Turrets in the Portal Network. For now, I think it's important to remember that she could be wrong. We don't have the full picture yet. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/14/adas-motives/

I'm fairly certain I saw it too, Agents. Did you? Sudden and unexpected changes in the Portal Network... increased XM across all Portals and some changes to the way Turrets behave as well... How did that happen? Are these two things connected? How might it connect to the events of the recent past? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/13/an-unexpected-change/

INGRESS REPORT - Inspired and Inspiring Agents - May 12 2016 The #IngressReport is live, with new details about Aegis Nova, developments from the Investigation and an excellent collection of Sitreps. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/12/ingress-report-inspired-and-inspiring-agents-may-12-2016/

I've recovered these fragments of an XM Anomaly Report from Hulong Transglobal that reveal key new mechanics associated with the Aegis Nova Anomaly Series. Important reading for those who will be involved in these Anomalies, either as Planners or on the ground. I suspect that declassified versions of this document will emerge directly from Hulong Transglobal in the following days. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/12/aegisnova-anomaly-intel-fragments/

There were two conversations mentioned in the report about the attack on the Enlightened Compound. The first was ADA's warning to Lynton-Wolfe, which emerged yesterday. The second was a call from Lynton-Wolfe to the Acolyte. The latter has now come to the surface. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/10/safe-for-now/

The report about the attack on the Enlightened Compound revealed that ADA had contacted Oliver Lynton-Wolfe some moments before the chaos began. Now we know what they talked about... ADA seems to have engineered this with the level of precision we've seen from her before... #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/09/1174/

Last week we were still reeling from the attack on the Enlightened compound; we didn’t know who was behind it or their intentions. We've since learned a lot about what happened that day, but in my mind, the mystery has deepened... read on to learn more. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/08/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-may-8-2016/

Agents from both Factions lent our Investigation a hand today in San Diego. The Enlightened were the first to complete the mission, and Resistance Agents recovered some of the missing fragments to help us get a complete picture of the attack on the Enlightened compound. To all those who were on the ground, and to those who helped organize, energize and analyze its fallout: You have my gratitude. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/07/mission-in-san-diego-accomplished/

For those of you who will be on the ground in San Diego tomorrow and are new to the Investigation, I've prepared a top-line report to help you get up to speed. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/07/top-line-report-san-diego-intel-mission/

#InvestigateIngress Originally shared by Niantic Project Meet fellow Agents, introduce new recruits to the community and help the Ingress Investigation solve an important mystery by recovering intel via a high priority mission. Meet-up around the Bear Portal on UCSD: 1:30PM-2:30PM Mission goes live: Approximately 2:30PM Other events of interest (via http://artpower.ucsd.edu/filmatic/events ) Ingress Gaming Meetup 1:30 pm Presentation; 2:30 Game Starts | Calit2 Theater/VROOM Join Flint Dille, creative lead of Ingress, to play the augmented reality game and meet other players at this official Ingress event that will explore UC San Diego monuments and landmarks including the Stuart Collection. All attendees are encouraged to participate. Filmatic events require ticket and payment. Agents can participate in the Meetup and Mission even if they are not attending the Filmatic events at UCSD. More details as they emerge. events/ce8eo3nslve7l83dm9qg5k41gas

The source who has been dropping information about the mission at UC San Diego this weekend just sent this heavily redacted document my way. I also learned some additional details about what's going down on Saturday, which I've added to a G+ Event page to make things easier to keep track of. https://plus.google.com/events/ce8eo3nslve7l83dm9qg5k41gas Given the source, I suspect this document and event in San Diego are connected. I'll be keeping an eye on this, hopefully Agents on the ground can help us piece this together. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/06/redacted-report-on-enlightened-compound-attack/

Since that clue emerged yesterday via Susanna Moyer, I've been digging to learn more. Here's what I've found out... #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/05/a-mission-in-san-diego/

Someone just sent this image to Susanna Moyer, and she's seeking assistance from the Investigate community to figure out what it means. Can you help? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/03/susanna-receives-a-clue/

Enlightened Agents in Hungary helped locate and retrieve this letter from Obsidius to his friend Marcus this past weekend -- I mentioned the recovery and this letters's contents briefly in my Weekly Wrap-Up yesterday. Here's the letter in full. I'm sure you can see why I find its contents intriguing. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/03/not-always/

Last week’s success has rapidly transformed into this week’s calamity. Who’s to blame? Can’t say for certain, but I do know one thing: Oliver Lynton-Wolfe’s efforts in recent weeks to research the Obsidian Shield and restore XM did not go unnoticed, and whatever’s going on now seems to be a direct result of his work. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/01/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-may-1-2016/

This cryptic image was sent to me earlier today. Help me find where it leads... and what it hides... #InvestigateIngress   http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/01/a-form-in-the-fire/

A reminder that the list of enemies Lynton-Wolfe has made in the last few years is very, very long. And while he (and Calvin) may have the benefit of no longer having the memory of those betrayals -- others have not forgotten. As we unravel the mystery of what happened at the Acolyte's compound, we'll need to be watching a lot of different forces and their motivations. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/30/burned-bridges/

#IngressReport is live: Breaking news on #AegisNova, events of the last few weeks and amazing sitreps. Susanna Moyer shares important new details about the Aegis Nova Anomaly series, including some all new information about the upcoming scoring system. A look back at the events of the last few weeks, including the amazing activity around the #IngressPortalSurvey. An amazing series of Sitreps, including a Zero Field op in Tokyo, a massive link-burst in Ukraine, an op in support of a fellow Agent in Canada and a huge Level 8 Portal creation op in Stockholm.

When I learned that the Acolyte's compound was attacked, I was fairly certain we would trace this back to Jahan and the Anti-Magnus group. Hank Johnson had the same thought, it seems, and confronted her with the question. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/27/jahans-denial/

AUTOBACS emerges into Portal Network It seems a new group of Portals has begun to enter the Portal Network… they are connected to a company called AUTOBACS, which is based in Japan and specializes in automobile repair and maintenance. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/27/autobacs-emerges-into-portal-network/

New developments emerge about yesterday's 911 call... A leaked transcript reveals that the Acolyte's Compound was attacked by unknown forces -- and more importantly, that she lost something very important in the chaos: Oliver Lynton-Wolfe. #InvestigateIngress   http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/26/oliver-lynton-wolfe-missing/

This is developing. A source sent this 911 dispatch log to me. A hiker in Northern California called in to report gunfire and a possible explosion in an area that's associated with the Enlightened Compound. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/26/acolytes-compound-attacked/

How do we interpret this past week? One way is to see it as empowering. An alternate view would be that we are being pulled and pushed by larger forces at work. I don’t think we have the answer yet, but we will if we stay ahead of things. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/24/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-april-24-2016/

There's a rabbit-hole here. It goes deep, and it leads to an interesting (perhaps even an uncomfortable) question. Are you willing to dive in? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/23/where-ideas-come-from/

Obsidius returns to Pompeii only to find the city lost to a massive and tragic disaster. The question is: Was this somehow connected to the conspiracy surrounding the 13 Obsidian Arrowheads? And if so... how? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/22/the-eruption-of-vesuvius/

The thing about Oliver Lynton-Wolfe that we have to remember is that his thirst for knowledge is complete... unquenchable. His intellectual curiosity is almost an addiction. It's gotten him into trouble in the past... #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/21/change-the-universe/

Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's #IngressPortalSurvey has come to an end, and he and ADA have begun to analyze the results. He predicts that they will be able to return some XM to the Portals in the very near future. Just in time, it seems, as he reports that the Power Cube stockpile he was able to release some weeks ago has begun to run out. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/21/ingressportalsurvey-ends-a-huge-success-according-to-olw/

In a final desperate attempt to stop the Vesuvian Magnus, Obsidius reached out to his leader, Titus. In the aftermath of the Obsidian Anomalies, we can understand what the consequences of their actions might have been, but there's more to uncover here. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/20/the-might-of-the-gods/

An update from Oliver Lynton-Wolfe on the #IngressPortalSurvey experiment. He intends to continue to gather data until the end of Wednesday. I mentioned yesterday that I was in awe of how fervently Agents around the world have contributed to this experiment. It seems OLW shares many of my sentiments. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/18/ingressportalsurvey-experiment-concludes-on-wednesday/

I’m overwhelmed by the activity I’ve seen over the past day as #IngressPortalSurvey results have emerged worldwide. If last week was all about getting our feet back under us, and exploring different ways of responding to the XM drought, this week showed what happens when Agents everywhere take off running... gathering information and testing new opportunities and possibilities for collaboration... determined to forge ahead. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/17/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-april-17-2016/

#IngressPortalSurvey Originally shared by Oliver Lynton-Wolfe Agents, I am calling on you today to help me with a very important mission. I need to run some tests on the interaction between Shaper Glyphs and Portals.  It is my hope that the data we gather will shed light on how the Obsidian Shield has caused the XM drought and thus find a cure. For this mission I have selected 15 Glyphs and 30 Portals around the world. Go to these Portals, hold a Glyph in front of it and take a picture. By correlating the timestamp of your photo with my monitoring systems, I will be able to finely measure the impact your actions had on this Portal. You may conduct this mission alone, with a fellow Agent or with groups of fellow Agents of either Faction. I encourage you to make this moment memorable. Make messages with the Glyphs. Decorate them as you see fit. Carry your Faction or Group flag. The XM will respond not just to the Glyphs but to your presence as well.  For each complete set we assemble (al...

Oliver Lynton-Wolfe has begun a new stage in his research to cure the XM drought, and as he promised in his message some days ago, he will need help from Agents around the world.  https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c26shk6bpqa43tagjcfd8t5mjrs In short, he is trying to survey the effect certain Glyphs have on Portals around the world, and is going to be relying on Agents to help conduct these tests. Read his full message for the details. #IngressPortalSurvey #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/16/olws-global-portal-survey/

In a recent conversation, Oliver Lynton-Wolfe set a price for his services. In exchange for his help in resolving the XM drought that has emerged due to the Obsidian Shield, OLW wanted access to both a very powerful tool and a very complicated individual: The ultra-complex AI created at the Niantic Project, ADA. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/16/the-balance-of-the-universe/

Obsidius, Cybella and Syphax: This traveling party spanned the globe as part of a journey to discover more about what we now know to be XM.  Now, in this most recent letter from Obsidius to his friend Marcus, it seems the group had began to fragment, with Syphax leaving in suspicious circumstances and having stolen the ancient Obsidan Glyph-marked arrowheads. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/15/disaster-strikes/

It seems Jahan has learned some lessons from the events of Obsidian. And now, as we begin to learn more about Aegis Nova, she has once again extended an olive branch to Hank Johnson. Destiny may or may not be driving them to work together, but Jahan's right about one thing: if Hank wants to help control what lies in the future, he will have to pick a side. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/14/complex-and-impure/

Reports that had been only rumors are now verified. A Google+ post from Oliver Lynton-Wolfe thanks the Agents who helped recover the Glyph Sequence and confirms that his Power Cube stockpiles have begun to emerge into the Portal Network. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/12/olws-power-cube-stockpiles/

Aegis Nova. Slowly, its roots are beginning to emerge. Cybella's vision helps us understand where the name comes from, but what does it mean? A New Shield? The destruction of the Obsidian Shield? What do you think? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/11/strange-words-and-ideas/

From where I’m standing, last week has been one of reaction and recovery. Both Agents and leaders in the world of Ingress have struggled with the aftermath of #IngressObsidian. The XM drought created a formidable predicament, and I’m not one for naive optimism, but now it seems we’re getting our feet back under us again as solutions begin to emerge. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/10/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-april-10-2016/

This Portal Clue emerged yesterday, and over the course of today some Agents have already begun exploring leads in Australia, Netherlands and the USA. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/09/a-certain-glyph-sequence

It seems, following his conversation with the Acolyte some days ago, Oliver Lynton-Wolfe has made some progress towards alleviating the XM drought.  #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/09/stockpiles/

This transcript sheds light on some important pieces of information: It seems the Acolyte and Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe have been actively collaborating for some time, and in fact, OLW may have been critical in the activation of the Obsidian Shield. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/06/a-glorious-malfunction/

Hank Johnson, a scholar, former special forces operator and member of the Niantic Project research team shares his thoughts on the Obsidian Shield and just how much we could have known in advance about the chain of events that led to the Global XM Drought. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/06/hank-johnson-what-caused-the-xm-drought/

Two groups of people deserve our thanks for bringing this vision to the surface. The first are the Agents who took part in GORUCK Operations at Anomalies around the world last weekend into order to recover scattered fragments of code. The second are the members of the Investigative Community and Operation: Essex, who painstakingly decrypted and uncovered the message hidden within. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/05/a-vast-emptiness/

In the immediate aftermath of #IngressObsidian , reports started pouring in that XM around the Portals was vanishing. From what I’ve seen today, it’s true: we are facing a massive, worldwide XM drought. What’s going on? #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/03/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-april-3-2016/

Agents, Collin Williams and Behind The Scanner will be hosting a LIVE #IngressObsidian Orlando YouTube event starting at Noon EST this Saturday. Watch it and stay at the cutting edge as the events of Orlando unfold. http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/02/dont-miss-behind-the-scanners-live-youtube-event/

Agents, the final Obsidian Anomalies are just moments away. Anomalies are special points in time when our actions can shape the future. Use your power wisely. Good luck. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/01/a-dangerous-path/

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/

Both Dr. Edgar Allan Wright and Hank Johnson have spoken up as new photos emerged today revealing a peek at the contents of the mysterious box from Seattle. #InvestigateIngress   http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/02/29/obsidian-and-marked

PAC’s Weekly Wrap-up: February 28, 2016 This week, Hank warned both the Acolyte and Jahan about the dangers they may face in their pursuit of the Obsidian Shield. The Enlightened won big at the first day of #Obisidan Anomalies, and the mysterious box was opened by Agent BigMatty and Susanna Moyer in Seattle. #InvestigateIngress http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/02/28/pacs-weekly-wrap-up-february-28-2016/

Hank Johnson shared his thoughts on the outcome of the day. It's an interesting read. He's always been somewhat of a moderate at heart, but it's clear he has more sympathy for the Acolyte than Jahan when it comes to the topic of the Obsidian Shield. #InvestigateIngress   http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/02/27/the-work-continues/
