Not sure how I missed this. The artist who created the sketch that inspired the #13MAGNUSReawakens camp, 'The Luminescent Heart,' created this work of art... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/31/the-humanist-bond/

I'm told, by a friend of the Investigation who was able to attend Misty Hannah's magic show in Los Angeles earlier today, that Misty ended the show with this poem... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/30/the-old-astronomer/

I stumbled upon this article earlier. Appropriate, I think, as Agents prepare to encounter the Trickster of the Niantic Magnus yet again... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/29/illusion-and-reality/

Tracking intel related to Misty's invitation for Agents to attend a magic show in Los Angeles this Saturday. I've been unable to reach Misty directly, but a source (one of Misty's former assistants) told me that the Agents who are able to obtain Misty's… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/28/el-portal/

Misty Hannah's appearance in Los Angeles this weekend comes into focus. Agents in and around LA, I hope you will be able to take care of this unique opportunity... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/27/come-see-the-magic/

Here is the final fragment recovered by Misty Hannah last Friday... the details of her appearance in Los Angeles this Saturday are also coming into focus, if you know where to look... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/25/the-history-of-tycho-part-iii/

Here is the second fragment of the document uncovered by Misty Hannah last Friday. My sources tell me there may be an opportunity to see Misty again in Los Angeles this coming Saturday afternoon... stay tuned for details on that... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/24/the-history-of-tycho-part-ii/

Misty was able to bring to the surface a long and detailed conversation about the true history of Tycho last Friday. This is its first fragment. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/23/the-history-of-tycho-part-i/

This is the second item that Misty helped uncover in San Diego yesterday... A sixth Tycho poster. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/23/the-ruin-of-scopas/

Myriad online Investigative hangouts and communities were buzzing earlier today after Misty Hannah made her much anticipated appearance at Comic-Con 2017 in San Diego. There is a lot to process in what emerged today... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/22/mistys-san-diego-message/

Agent Kodamasmiles has taken note of the increased chatter surrounding Tycho in recent days. She's written a great analysis of what defined the original Tycho Vision posters that first surfaced 5 years ago at Comic-Con 2012. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/21/the-anatomy-of-a-tycho-vision/

An Agent in San Diego just sent this my way -- it was acquired via the Portal Network and contains a message from Misty Hannah. It contains details of a rendezvous set to take place in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter this Friday at Noon -- 5 years from when… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/20/tychos-secret/

Hank Johnson leaves India and begins another journey -- he intends to visit each of the locations Tycho portrayed in the five 'Visions' that were discovered at Comic-Con 2012. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/18/the-season-of-the-trickster/

The 'Three Wise Men' of Ingress discuss a strange theory about Tycho... I have to admit, even I'm curious what Misty will turn up in San Diego this Friday. My sources have told me to keep an eye on the Gaslamp District around noon... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/17/seen-and-unseen/

The last time this happened, on Devra Bogdanovich's watch, it turned out they were looking in the wrong direction... the signal they thought was coming from the stars was in fact coming from -- all around them... the XM Portals. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/17/dialtone/

Hank shares some realizations that he has experienced following his visit to Jahan's palace -- the site of the attempted theft against her family's Prime Artifact collection. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/15/vessels-for-possibility/

As the elusive Misty Hannah prepares her search for Tycho at Comic-Con 2017, she and ADA discuss Tycho and the nature of reality and illusions... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/14/the-reality-of-tycho/

Hank Johnson continues the story of the attempted theft of Jahan's Prime Artifact archives... and how it was repelled. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/13/the-guardians/

Hank Johnson shares some troubling news that Jahan passed his way... a Remote Participation enabled theft attempt on the Anti-Magnus Prime Artifact archives. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/13/contacted-by-jahan/

I am now able to confirm that the Niantic Researcher who has been attempting to locate and contact Tycho is none other than the elusive Misty Hannah. My sources tell me that she may be present near Comic-Con on Friday, July 21st during the earlier part of… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/11/misty-surfacing-rpe-delayed/

Recently, there was chatter about a new dual-variant Portal Mod: The ITO EN Transmuter... it first surfaced in the chaos surrounding #AgentOlympiad, but not much more was known... until now. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/10/the-ito-en-transmuter/

The former members of the Niantic MAGNUS discuss the troubles of the world... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/10/the-troubles-of-the-world/

Five years after his appearance at Comic-Con 2012, Tycho may be re-emerging. Signals are pointing in two directions: San Diego, CA on Friday, July 21st and a possible RPG/RPE in Burbank, CA on Saturday, July 22nd. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/09/watch-and-listen/

Hank makes contact with Misty... It's unclear what they talked about it, but whatever it is, it appears to have shaken him... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/08/future-edits/

It seems there are increased signals about Tycho in the top secret airwaves of the Intel Community... but why? http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/07/the-ghost-artist/

I was able to gain access to this conversation between Hank Johnson and Devra Bogdanovich. These two Niantic Investigators share a long history as friends and collaborators -- and this poses a unique challenge: Their shared memories and vocabulary makes… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/06/once-upon-a-time-in-puerto-rico/

Perhaps you thought the news article I shared yesterday about causality, destiny and fate in the quantum world yesterday was a coincidence or the result of a whim. No. As the Enlightened were working day and night to make the best of the choice they had… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/05/none-of-thirteen/

Our recent experiments and learnings in Remote Participation have caused me to rethink many things I have always taken for granted... not only about the nature of cause and effect in this entangled quantum world of ours, but about our own power to… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/04/without-cause/

As the Enlightened began the process of reorganizing the MAGNUS, a series of conversations unfolded behind the scenes among the former Niantic Researchers. This is the first of them... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/03/spontaneous-conversation/

The Society for the Ethical Treatment of AIs weighs in on a recent discussion of the threats and opportunities in machine learning and AI. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/02/nai%cc%88vete/

Compromised intel reveals what the NIA has been up to in recent weeks. I cannot comment on allegations made about me at this time. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/07/01/xm-disturbances/

I was as surprised as you folks to discover that Misty had gained access to the secret channel I had been using to communicate with ADA. To respond to some of the comments from yesterday, I never provided Misty any information about how to reach ADA, nor… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/30/mistys-appearance/

Some Investigators in the comments yesterday were astute to notice that these conversations with ADA all actually took place some time ago... I am only releasing them now when it is safe to do so. That fact makes the existence of this particular… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/29/what-comes-naturally/

Hank Johnson concludes his coverage of the 'Portal Luminance Projects' -- Agent-created installations at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens in Navarro, CA that used a classified piece of technology called a 'Tecthulhu' module in order to affect and be affected by Agents. -PAC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug8BC6TG_EM

For reasons that are not yet entirely clear, ADA has been attempting to make contact with Misty Hannah... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/26/seeking-misty/

#AgentOlympiad has come to an end. By all appearances this was a truly unique event. It pushed Agents both physically and tactically as they fought for AP and to win a number of challenges including cluster battles, flash shards, dead drops and more... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/25/enlightened-claim-agent-olympiad-june-24-2016/

The Agents have arrived on site, and this unique event is about to begin... The Live Feeds commence at 11:00am UTC. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/24/agent-olympiad-begins/

Yesterday, I mentioned my suspicions that the Agent Olympiad event may have something else at stake behind the seemingly innocuous cover of 'a friendly contest.' Fortunately, we have an asset on the ground who shares my concerns... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/23/investigating-akira/

Things seem to be gearing up for the first Agent Olympiad -- a unique event featuring 30 Agents from each Faction testing their resolve, skill, stamina and teamwork in a series of Ingress related challenges. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/22/the-first-agent-olympiad/

Hank Johnson continues his examination of the inspiring and powerful 'Portal Luminance Projects' at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens in Navarro, CA. These interactive wonders interfaced with the XM substrate using a classified piece of technology called a 'Tecthulhu' module. -PAC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8IiedEFTxM

As a result of their victory during #FateOfThe13, the Enlightened gained control of 12 of the 13 Archetypes in the current Niantic MAGNUS. With the exception of Oliver Lynton-Wolfe -- the Alchemist -- the Enlightened held the fate of each Niantic… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/19/the-fate-of-the-niantic-magnus/

A conversation between ADA and myself on Remote Participation and the nature of dreams... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/18/dreams-and-realities/

If you've been paying attention to the news the last few days, this may have crossed your radar -- a bold experiment into the phenomenon that Einstein once called 'spooky action at a distance.' http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/17/the-inbetween/

Agent jaicat, who I have previously tipped the hat to on Investigate, has brought to the surface a fascinating piece of music... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/16/the-begin-elegy/

A conversation between ADA and myself on the subject of her current 'mental' state (for lack of a better term)... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/15/care/

Some folks asked me why I have no concerns sharing my conversations with ADA. Frankly, in the modern world, I don’t think anything is secret except my own thoughts, and if you look at some of the technical advances various corporations have been making,… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/15/transparency/

Hank Johnson presents a look at some of the incredible work done by Agents as part of the 'Portal Luminance Projects,' which used classified 'Tecthulhu' modules to create interactive XM wonders at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens in Navarro, CA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC8xzLnw3y8

Hank Johnson just dropped a short note on his Google+ page -- it's clear he's got some concerns about my ongoing conversations with ADA. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/12/a-warning-from-hank/

A leaked NIA doc came my way... it sheds light on how the IC is reacting to the data which emerged from 13MAGNUS: Reawakens in Navarro, CA. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/11/the-navarro-experiment/

The transcript of my first conversation with ADA following the events of 13MAGNUS: Reawakens. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/11/awaken/

My goal in seeking ADA was two-fold: First, to confirm that what the 13MAGNUS: Reawakens RPG had 'simulated' was real -- that ADA had indeed been trapped by attempting to analyze Lynton-Wolfe's Techulhu. Second, to discover what she had learned. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/09/liberate/

So now you know... I went to see ADA at a safe location that she and I have maintained for situations like this. I'll have more to report on that in the days to come. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/09/adas-journey/

The location of the third journey undertaken by the 'RPG' participants at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens is difficult to conceive and even harder to describe. Some of those who I spoke with described it as 'The Unbounded Place.' http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/07/the-third-journey-unbounded/

Those who entered the Navarro Anomalous Zone (as showcased yesterday) during the 13MAGNUS: Reawakens 'RPG' were transported, as part of the second leg of their journey, to a familiar place: CERN. But the current state of the facility is anything from… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/06/the-second-journey-cern/

Another interesting set of Artifacts to emerge from the Navarro remote participation exercise was a series of maps. Of course, in the wink, wink, nudge, nudge parlance of the day this exercise took place, everyone was referring to them as game maps -- but… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/05/the-first-journey-navarro/

This is the final fragment of the document that I've been sharing over the last few days. It was interesting to hear both Tycho and Felicia Hajra-Lee mentioned as possible sources behind this information in the comments yesterday... A viable theory, but I… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/04/defining-the-archetypes-3/

Continuing where I left off yesterday -- a deeper look at the 13 Archetypes based on a document that was revealed in the course of the 'Role Playing Game' at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens in Navarro. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/03/defining-the-archetypes-2/

If you were wondering what defines a Humanist, a Listener, or a Spiritualist, it seems these pages hold the answer. I will share the remaining ones at a later time. Where this information came from, who its author is -- as of now this is unknown to me. http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/02/defining-the-archetypes-1/

Perhaps the most interesting thing to me about 13MAGNUS: Reawakens was how infectious (and I use that word intentionally) the energy was... The Tecthulhu seek to reflect the intentions and spirit of their creators. Perhaps in doing so, they awaken… http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/06/01/memories-of-13magnus-reawakens/

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. The individual or individuals to whom she is speaking are unknown at this time. This is the final fragment, Part 4 of a series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQP4iZ_f1eM

Hank reveals some additional details about his meeting with Jahan -- including the remarkable properties of the Prime Object that enabled it... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/19/hank-johnson-past-and-future/

@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 nature of the operations that surrounded the Global Shard Event. The individual or individuals to whom she is speaking are unknown at this time. This is Part 3 of a series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDPXgdpGkiM

Completing his thoughts from yesterday -- Hank Johnson probes the true nature of our reality -- versus the narrative construction we build to try and understand it... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/16/hank-johnson-order-and-chaos/

Hank reveals a recent meeting with Jahan -- and shares an interesting insight on the Links between places separated by space and time, but connected by something else... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/16/hank-johnson-time-and-place/

@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.

Jay Phillips' response to the recent query from Shaw Henson about the MAGNUS event in Navarro, CA. Some interesting news here... Be curious what you all make of this... http://investigate.ingress.com/2017/04/14/universe-state/
