Recently updated this, adding the info from the latest anomalies.

Meanwhile, can someone help me figure out why some parts of it are strike-through? I've spent 30 min editing this thing and can't figure it out.

The Investigator's Arsenal 

So, throughout the course of this Investigation, I've encountered people who wanted to start but didn't know where to turn. As a result, I've created this list of sources that Investigators commonly turn to in order to make sense of what's going on.

It should be known that these are sources that have been credited and verified as canon or legitimate. There is usually some way to confirm these sources and the information that they release as legit. i.e, the Ingress Report(IR), the Niantic Project G+ page or other means. 

"Everyday, more would be leaked to me... a slow drip that was turning into a flood. That flood of cryptic, intriguing, worrying information continues to this day. At first, I wasn’t sure where this was all going. Now, if my suspicions are right, in the words of Bob Seger, “I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”
                                                                               H. Richard Loeb 

These are those sources: 

THE INVESTIGATORS:

1. Niantic Project-this G+ Account is the center of the Investigation. Every couple of days, new intel will leak regarding the status of individuals and corporations and secret societies that play a role in the world of XM. The person currently running the account is Verity Seke, who has been since revealed to be the Truthseeker AI. 

2. H. Richard Loeb -the former Operator of the Niantic Project G+ Account and the originator of the website http://www.nianticproject.com
Left the Investigation in Oct. 2013 to go off the grid and clear his mind on matters. Has since returned and presents to other Investigators questions regarding the current status of the situation at hand. Was revealed to responsible for tuning ADA. Known to have created the Truthseeker AI.

3. Edgar Allan Wright The creator of Operation Essex (https://plus.google.com/communities/117368337781687210813), a community where Investigators and Truthseekers work together to uncover the mysteries of the Niantic Project and the world around us. Used to be a professor at some university and also possessed some sort of relationship with Devra, who holds him in some negative regard. Has memory problems and his messages, while cryptic, hold much value in terms when deciphered and understood. 

4. Susanna Moyer-XM Sensitive, Host of the Ingress Report.
5. Sarita Hays--co host of the Ingress Report. Doesn't pop around much. Hoping she does sometime soon.   
6. Klue S.--XM Sensitive. Former vessel for ADA. Current whereabouts unknown. Only Investigator to have been both Enlightened and Resistance.


THE NIANTIC PROJECT RESEARCHERS
7. Hank Johnson XM Resarcher, Sensitive(this means that he is uniquely sensitive to the flow of XM. Many individuals in the world of Niantic fall in this category). Former Special Operations soldier and now a historian, trying to catalog and record the effects of XM throughout time and their impact on humanity. At one point, was known to be a 'simulacrum' or a XM construct of the real Johnson, who was killed in Afghanistan two years ago and resurrected through an unusual process only known by a secret society who refers to themselves as 13MAGNUS. Currently has regained his humanity and is now on an opposing path with the Anti-MAGNUS.

8. Devra Bogdanovich-XM Scientist, Researcher, Sensitive. Former lead scientist on the Niantic Project. Currently trapped in the Portal Network following the re-assembly of her Shards during the Shonin Anomaly Series. 
9. enoch dalby-musician, Sensitive. (RES CAPTURED HIS SHARDS IN ZURICH)
10. Stein Lightman-XM Researcher, Sensitive. Currently the leading expert on Shaper Glyphs. Currently in the Portal Network after re-assembly of his Shards during Persepolis.
11. Yuri Alaric Nagassa-XM Researcher, Sensitive. (ENL IN BOSTON CAPTURED HIS SHARDS)
12. Martin Schubert-XM Researcher, Sensitive. Currently in unknown whereabouts. (RES CAPTURED HIS SHARDS IN NEW ORLEANS)
13. Misty Hannah-XM Researcher, Sensitive, Stage Magician.(RES CAPTURED HER SHARDS IN HOUSTON)
14. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe-XM Researcher, Sensitive. Creator of the Ingress Scanner. (ENL CAPTURED HIS SHARDS IN NEW TAIPEI CITY
15. Roland Jarvis-XM Sensitive. former Leader of the Enlightened. Currently deceased. (FATE WILL BE DECIDED DURING ABADDON MILAN)
16. Carrie Campbell-XM Sensitive, language expert. Original pioneer of Shaper Glyph Research. Currently deceased after sacrifice in Operation Cassandra.(RES CAPTURED HER SHARDS IN LONDON)      -
17. A Detection Algorithm-the sentient artificial intelligence developed by the Niantic Project, she has since then grown and evolved far beyond that. Is currently aligned with the N'zeer. (FATE WILL BE DECIDED DURING ABADDON OKINAWA)
18. Victor Kureze-former Niantic researcher, physicist. Died in the Niantic Facility on April 21st, 2013 after interacting with the body of Roland Jarvis, appeared as Shards in the Portal Network. (RES CAPTURES HIS SHARDS IN HAMBURG)
19. Yuen Ni-the former Operations Director at the NIA who helped fund the Niantic Project. After Niantic dissolved, she went to work for Hulong and is now the CEO. Evidence suggests that she was sent in as a double agent by Zeke Calvin to monitor Hulong's XM progress.
20. Ezekiel "Zeke" Calvin-the man who instigated the Niantic Project, as well as many previous projects related to XM research. There exists evidence that suggests Calvin created the Niantic Project with a as-of-yet unknown agenda and that he may be a member of the Anti-MAGNUS. After Niantic dissolved, he went to work at IQTech and became its CEO until his disappearance. (*FATE WILL BE DECIDED DURING ABADDON OAKLAND)


THE XM CORPORATIONS
21. IQTech Research-Based in the USA, Operated by Avril Lorazon. Main asset: Isabel Devitt.
22. Hulong Transglobal-Based in Shanghai, China. Operated by Yuen Ni. Main asset: Antoine Smith.
23. Visur Technology-Based in Russia(?) Operated by Ilya Petsov. Main asset: Claudia Glas.



SHAPERS VS N'ZEER, ANTI-MAGNUS VS 13MAGNUS:

"On January 1st, Hank Johnson, having been healing after a firefight in India, was with Jahan, a mysterious biotech researcher who had taken Hank in and helped him heal. The two of them were researching a mysterious force that drove Hank to India for research and knowledge, known as The N’zeer. This force, it seems, was the enemy of the Shapers and had been erased from human history and knowledge by the 13MAGNUS secret society. It has been believed that the N’zeer’s return to Earth would signal the end times."
Fev Games, Niantic Investigation recap.


"#13MAGNUS and the Enlightened believe that our collected evolution with the shapers represents a future filled with beauty and self-fulfillment. On the other, Anti-MAGNUS and the Resistance claim that the N'zeer represent an intellectual renaissance, a new era of progress which will help to end war, hunger, and disease. One that will finally shatter the toxic yoke of Shaper manipulation."
-Susanna Moyer, IR 100.

And finally there is the series of comics: Epiphany Night / Escape from Niantic / The Niantic Pursuit illustrated by Tycho

And, for even more information, there exists the Niantic Project Wiki, which has remained a powerful resource for information: https://niantic.schlarp.com/start

So, the next time you encounter a budding Investigator who may need help figuring out where to start, perhaps giving them this list may assist them. I sure hope this helps! 

In the name of the Investigation, I release this information. I can only hope it serves our journey well.
