At 13MAGNUS: Reawakens, Hank Johnson read some pages from a document he had recovered which recounts some of Navarro's hidden past. I had asked Hank to share this information with me, and he obliged. Thank you, Hank. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/31/the-spaniards-logbook/

Tuning back in. Investigate -- for now -- is safe. Bugs hunted and squashed. Dark code sought and brought to light. Today's post is an interesting read: If you ever wondered what the IC thinks about some of the topics we have covered over the course of… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/30/the-ic-sourcebook-all-pages/

Despite the fervent denials that she's been looking into anything fishy up here, Kodama has turned up some intriguing data... I fear that Investigate may be compromised. I will not be posting updates here for a few days while I sort this out. The… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/20/disruption/

A short update from 13MAGNUS: Reawakens... The energy here is palpable. Special. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/20/13magnus-reawakens-day-one/

Had a curious conversation with someone who's deep in the know. If you've been following recent reports on Investigate, you'll be aware that some are predicting an Anomalous Zone or an XM Anomaly Event at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens. I probed this source on any… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/19/teamwork/

Yesterday, I received a warning from an anonymous source. Today, @KodamaSmiles got a similar letter. She forwarded me the note that she received. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/18/the-unwitting/

Received a warning earlier today from an anonymous source via a dead-drop. Real? Fake? Not sure. Either way -- in my mind it's not surprising. The Corporations are out probing the cutting edge of XM research, and the ethics of it all be damned? Yeah.… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/16/a-warning/

Hank Johnson weighs in on the emails that I published over the last two days -- sharing his recollections of the conversation described by 'Amaziah Lachish,' as well as an interesting parable about the nature of truth and reality... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/15/hank-johnson-the-nature-of-real/

As promised, the continuation of yesterday's drop -- a letter purportedly sent to Hank Johnson. The sender is a person I have never met, but that pseudonym (I think it's a fake name...) is known to me -- they have been a source of intel in the past... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/14/the-statues-ii/

A source sent this to me. It is purported to be a copy of an email recently received by Hank Johnson. Hank hasn't publicly revealed anything about this, however, so take this intel with a grain of salt. There is one additional fragment to this message...… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/13/the-statues-i/

Another fragment of the IC-sourced document covering a multitude of aspects related to the ongoing Investigation of XM, Ingress and the Niantic Project. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/13/the-sourcebook-the-exogenous-2/

The fourth, and final, group of images showcasing Tycho's representations of MAGNUS Archetypes... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/12/archetypal-visions-4/

Here is the second page of the 13MAGNUS Reawakens event Threats and Opportunities document I was able to get my hands on. I first posted Page 1 of this document a few days ago... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/10/magnus-threats-and-opportunities-2/

The third group of images showcasing Tycho's representations of MAGNUS Archetypes... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/09/archetypal-visions-3/

As I mentioned a few days ago, I was able to obtain some pages of a highly protected IC document that covers, in great detail, a number of aspects of the Niantic Investigation. Here is one of the sections that focuses on Exogenous forces, in particular… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/08/the-sourcebook-the-exogenous-1/

Here is the next set of images I was able to obtain from a collection that I currently believe to by Tycho's representation of MAGNUS archetypes... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/07/archetypal-visions-2/

I was able to obtain a few sections of a document -- allegedly of IC (intel community) origin -- examining the Threats and Opportunities of the 13MAGNUS Reawakens event at Camp Navarro. I will be vetting and releasing these pages over the course of the… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/06/magnus-threats-and-opportunities-1/

Some time ago, a series of images were uncovered from Agent Kodama's recent briefings on #FateOfThe13. It was, I believe, Essex Investigator Yik Sheng Lee who first extracted this series of images and began speculating that they may be representations of… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/05/archetypal-visions-1/

Shaw Henson and Jay Phillips continue their conversation about the unknown entity behind a corporate maneuver designed to gain access to the Niantic Project facility. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/04/precious-metals/

I seem to recall hearing rumors about this before, but now it seems on better authority. HAZDATA, it appears, has changed hands, but it's unclear whether this is just the usual, shady, corporate shell game or an actual hostile takeover.. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/02/hazdata-changes-hands/

Take this all with a grain of salt -- the report comes to me second-hand, but I do trust the source -- Akira Tsukasa's up to something. Exactly what that might be, too soon to tell, but it's something I'll be keeping an eye on... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/01/rumor-akira-tsukasas-up-to-something/

Had the opportunity to meet KodamaSmiles briefly this weekend. She revealed to me that she'll be joining the festivities at Camp Navarro for 13MAGNUS: Reawakens. I had previously heard on good authority that Hank Johnson intends to be there as well. And… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/05/01/traveling-companions/

Shaw Henson, replying to a recent message from Jay Phillips, surfaces a frightening theory about post-XM-era intelligence gathering, as well as an interesting find from an Operation Essex member about Navarro's hidden past... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/29/navarros-golden-roots/

Hank Johnson offers an alternative theory to balance out Martin Schubert's worrying post about the possible dangers of Tecthulhus. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/29/hank-johnson-a-counterpoint-to-the-schuberts-skeptical-pov/

Martin Schubert, the Skeptic, offers a scathing indictment of the Tecthulhu-module based 13MAGNUS REAWAKENS art projects and the independent Tecthulhu project covered yesterday on Investigate. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/28/this-is-madness/

"At the same time I can't wait to get it done and really dread doing it...its like the #Tecthulhu is somehow sub-consciously telling me to stop building it. I don't know if this makes any sense." http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/26/tecthulhu-experiment/

Sorry Jay. I know I'm a bit of a thorn in your side. We just have different ways of going about what we think is best. Thanks for this intel though... the Anazktec connection to Navarro is very interesting... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/25/anazktec-legends/

I have had the privilege of being a fly on the wall in a top-secret hangout where the creative teams behind the Tecthulhu-module based 'Portal Luminance Projects' have been coordinating their activities. Watching this process unfold has been fascinating… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/25/magnus-emerging/

Agents did an excellent job today tracking Agent KodamaSmiles across the Embarcadero area of San Francisco. Some intel was recovered, and we'll be working on piecing that together and recovering missing fragments that may be needed to bring it into focus. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/23/kodamarecon-followup/

Schubert responds to Stein Lightman's concerns about the 13MAGNUS REAWAKENS RPG experience -- he also has brought to the surface a signup sheet that Agents can use to save a seat... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/22/martin-schubert-thoughts-on-the-rpg-also-rpg-signup-sheet/

@KodamaSmiles is going to be in San Francisco this Sunday, hosting an impromptu XFAC meet-up. I need your help: We need to run a recon operation on Kodama from Noon to 2PM. I know approximately where she will be at Noon, and we know where she's going to… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/22/recon-mission-kodama-in-san-francisco/

It appears that some recent news about a 'Role Playing Game' event taking place at 13MAGNUS: REAWAKENS has Stein Lightman concerned... he's broken a long period of silence to share his thoughts... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/20/playing-with-fire/

@KodamaSmiles presents a briefing on the recent global XM event -- #FateOfThe13, in which Agents moved 91 Shards through the Portal Network to battle for the fate of the 13 Archetypes comprising the Niantic MAGNUS and the researchers who currently represent it. In this fragment she focuses on the communities that joined together to face the challenges of the Shard Event, as well as its final outcome.

On his way out from DC, Hank Johnson makes a fascinating stop in Tysons Corner. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/09/hank-johnson-worlds-not-our-own/

The observant among you may have noticed: The website for MAGNUS: REAWAKENS appears to have gone offline. This was done without warning -- and as of now, we have very little information about why this has happened. Fortunately, I am a man to whom many… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/09/magnus-transforming/
