"Who is missing from the three empty capsules/pods/sarcophagi of Abaddon at CERN?" Part 7 of my series of polls is a departure from the list of flint dille​​'s questions from Ingress Origins. This question takes us back to the conclusion of Abaddon. I'm interested to see the distribution of views on this topic. For your convenience, I'm including a link to Felicia Hajra-Lee​​'s post on this. Others are invited and encouraged to post links to any other threads of speculation or discussion on this topic. https://plus.google.com/+FeliciaHajraLee/posts/L4fW2oRPkAK Essentially, from at least two photos, it seems clear that three chambers are empty, or at the very least fundamentally different to the other ten. Nine researchers are mentioned in Felicia's story: Calvin, enoch dalby​​, Carrie Campbell​​, Misty Hannah​​, Kureze, Martin Schubert​​, Stein Lightman​​, Yuri Alaric Nagassa​​, & Devra Bogdanovich​​. Presumably, Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​​ was there as wel

I have a theory I would like to throw here under the advice of other agents that I've discussed this with. flint dille​​​ posed the question "What is Klue S.​​​'s real identity? She might be in this book!" Referring to Ingress origins. After reading the book a few times, theres been one unnamed character that has been stuck in my mind even before this question was written by Flint. She is easy to pass over but a very unique person in my opinion and is oddly placed with no explanation at all. She is only seen once in the entire book, and literally sits in the middle of the page as it transitions to Devras seminar. I have found no other record of this girl but she seems to be drawing and as I said before she seems unique from her hair color which is a dark blue to a long sleeved blue dress. Who is this character? Is she Klue? It seems like any other guess to me has been far too obvious...  update after looking up Zuur Hall with UCLA I've located another connection

"Who is Devra Bogdanovich​​​ running from really?"-Part 6 in my ongoing series investigating the questions posed by flint dille​​​ on signed copies of Tycho C.​​​'s Ingress Origins. I have interpreted this question as referring to what has motivated Devra to leave/flee/escape the Niantic Project at CERN. Other readings are possible as it could be argued that Devra continued running long after she escaped Niantic: she ran from Visur Technology​​​ and perhaps kept running. I am, as always, eager to hear other interpretations, perspectives, and views. That's why I always leave " Other" as an option. Perhaps the most straightforward interpretation is that Devra is simply the most extreme case of "resistance syndrome", the effect of increased fear and paranoia induced by exposure to xm in approximately 50% of subjects. If we imagine this as a spectrum, Devra is perhaps the most negatively affected sensitive at Niantic. Her behaviour is a symptom of xm

H. Richard Loeb mentioned in his last post a city called Tashkurgan. This Citadel - by the way the title of Loeb's previous post - was place of roman's farest exploration. The Name of this brave man was Maes Titianus and his patron was Marcus Titius. Is Tashkurgan the place of the Obsidian Shield?

Finally glad to unwrap one of my biggest projects with Fev Games yet! Hope it's useful!  Originally shared by Fev Games Mustafa Said has been hard at work on the creation of Character pages , covering lore elements of #Ingress .

A Conversation with H. Richard Loeb  So, I had this conversation with Richard Loeb, aka P.A Chapeau, days before he would go on to launch Investigate:Ingress.  Given the latest conversation Steven Wilson began involving Amaziah Lachish, I remembered that I still hadn't bothered to upload this conversation.  To be honest, even after months of sitting on this, I still hadn't made full heads or tails of it all. Maybe someone here smarter than I can figure it out for me.  -Mustafa.

Inquiries. Another letter has been revealed between Obsidias and Marcus. [embed]http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/25/inquiries/[/embed]

Have we collected all of flint dille​s questions from his comic book signings. ? And have we been able to answer them all yet?

"Who do you think set up flint dille​​ [in Seattle]? (Hint: AL)" Part 5 of my series exploring and polling the investigative community on the questions posed by flint dille​​ on signed copies of Tycho C.​​'s Ingress Origins graphic novel. As most of you are aware, flint dille​​ was abducted in Seattle on the eve of the Obsidian anomaly there. He was freed thanks to the timely intervention of GORUCK​​ agents who were also able to recover the scattered Intel that Flint's contact was forced to ditch. We were all relieved that flint dille​​ escaped unharmed and that the Intel was ultimately recovered. As an investigative community, we owe it to each other to try and establish who set Flint up. It is imperative that we know who we can, and can't trust. When a member of our community is threatened, we need to take it seriously. Now, it seems like flint dille​​ either knows, or strongly suspects, who betrayed him. Perhaps out of a fear of retribution, he feels he can

"We will use the shield of Obsidious to silence the N'zeer" (spelling?) One thing i have come get attached to with the Ingress Report is listening to A Detection Algorithm​ little messages. Im new to Operation Essex and didnt know where to post so hopefully right place. If not apologies. Listening to her voice this week is way off. Doesnt even sound like her anymore. Anyone else catch this? Is it someone else speaking in her place if so who and why? If not whats happening to her thats so significant to change her voice pattern? Thanks!

"What is the special sensitive power of Hubert Farlowe​" Part 4 in my series of answer polls to flint dille​'s questions posed on signed copies of Tycho C.​'s Ingress Origins. This is a really tricky one. Despite at one time being a prolific poster on G+, there is still so little we know for sure about Farlowes agenda and whereabouts. As always, I will give my personal analysis and also attempt to present other perspectives. My personal view is that Farlowe possess a keen sense of situational awareness and threat detection that is heightened and enhanced by xm. This explains his uncanny ability to detect and intercept would be assassins of Devra Bogdanovich​ twice in Ingress Origins. There is, however. some ambiguity in this question: it's not clear whether Farlowe gained additional abilities after interacting with Jarvis. There is evidence that Farlowe is now some sort of xm entity but he had emphatically denied that he is a simulacrum on multiple occasions. Ther

I don't know if this have been posted before, but after reading #IngressOrigins I realized there were some weird things. First of all, I saw a creepy  smiling man's face behind Devra on the cover of the comic. I don't know who is him. Second, I realized there were some encrypted codes (using braile, morse and barcodes), but I think they've been decrypted already. And the most interesting thing I found were some links who lead to Niantic's files (I don't know if they have been published before since I'm just getting started on getting on the backstory of Ingress). Here is the list ordered by page: Page 5: goo.gl/SamhTN and goo.gl/3bGUZD Page 27: goo.gl/ImMDTc Page 30: goo.gl/nnjIva Page 34: goo.gl/Ni0mIQ * , goo.gl/zHFERp and goo.gl/KcnTbr Page 38: goo.gl/S2UdYG Page 56: goo.gl/9DNoVK Page 64: goo.gl/VUFU5L

Looks like this could become an interesting discussion over on Isthmus. Originally shared by Jennifer Brozek (GaanEden) Glyph Talk 1/5: The Senders I’ve got a series of related topics and theories when it comes to the glyphs and the glyph language we see coming from the portals. In this first post, I’m going to focus on the senders themselves. Before I begin I want to set out a couple of definitions.  -- A meme is an idea or concept that spreads from person to person within a culture. -- A memetic language is a language based on units of culture.   Based on the research gathered from around the world and shared with me (thank you Agent Codon011), I want to propose three theories.   Theory 1: Glyphs are a universal memetic language. Theory 2: There are two different ideological groups of senders. Theory 3: There are some glyphs that one side will not use because it is not part of their culture.   Theory 1: Glyphs are a universal memetic language Rather than an actual written language li

"What is Klue S.​'s real identity? She might be in this book!" (Ingress Origins) Part 3 in my series of answers/polls to the questions posed by flint dille​ on his signed copies of Ingress Origins from Obsidian Seattle. Klue has always been an enigma, wrapped in a mystery. From puzzling about her ontological nature as KlAda (Klue "hosting" A.D.A.), to her relationship to H. Richard Loeb​, Klue has perplexed, and variously befriended, Resistance and Enlightened alike. The prospect that she might feature in Tycho C.​'s Ingress Origins is an intriguing prospect; it means Klue S.​ was a playing a part in things long before we were previously aware. On another level, it's a bit disturbing because, if true, it means we know far less about her than we might have thought. However, confronting the extent of our ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. Therefore, let's press on. I personally believe that the best candidate is Katalena, the woman who witnessed the

"What was Calvin trying to create at Niantic?" This is the second part of my series of answer polls of flint dille​'s questions, posed on signed copies of Tycho C.​'s "Ingress Origins". Essentially, this question goes to the heart of the inscrutable motivations of the enigmatic mastermind of the Niantic Project. Ezekiel Calvin has been described as a puppet master and it is probably safe to say that no one truly knows his long-term master plan except him. Nevertheless, I believe we can make some reasonable inferences about his probable objectives. Calvin is clearly a man possessed with a formidable intellect and an audacious ambition. Such people, from time immemorial, usually covet the same objectives: power, wealth, wisdom, fame and immortality. Thanks to the revelations of Abaddon, we now know that a hidden aspect of the Niantic Project involved turning all of the researchers, including Calvin, into simulacra. What we don't know, is why? It could be t

It's a work in progress, 1 part still missing and the order probably needs tweaking. Yik's order seems a good one too. Originally shared by Daniel van Os Here are the fragments we have recovered so far combined into a single file.

So I was finally able to acquire my very own copy of Ingress Origins. I was so excited to read it and highly recommend that all investigators try and get their hands on a copy. I have resolved to work through each of Flint's questions in turn, and decided to start with one that seemed straightforward. After I started trying to pin down the answer, it proved to be surprisingly difficult. I am trying to ascertain which of the Niantic Researchers began as Enlightened. Flint hinted that there are five. There is a section in the comic that deals with this, where Devra is discussing how some of the researchers are calling themselves the Enlightened and are embracing the creativity inspired by the xm. The others are apparently responding with increased mistrust and fear. Given what we know and the names Devra lists, Roland Jarvis​, enoch dalby​, and Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​ are obvious members. It seems safe to add Hank Johnson​ at this point; although Devra doesn't mention him we know of

As spring threatens to overcome us all, I am going to make another attempt at a grand unified theory of Ingress. Portals are places where exotic matter allows different branes and different world-lines to communicate. This is easiest to see in the Shapers plea to avoid war: I contend that the Shapers are so alarmed by war because what we call the Shapers are in fact, echoes on an exotic matter drum from an extinguished human timeline where war has destroyed the future. CREATE NEW FUTURE. As  an Enlightened Agent I must hear that call. We seem to have a different faction the Resistance who discount the Shapers message and instead hear the call of the N'zeer. It is my supposition that the N'zeer represent human and posthuman worldlines that have escaped the 'Great Filter' and thus the existential danger that ended the Shapers.  The Enlightened err in being prejudiced against sophonts of computational substrate, the Resistance in seeing the seeing the Shapers as something

Originally shared by H. Richard Loeb 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   [embed]http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/03/16/the-path-of-fire/[/embed]

The two voices screaming and arguing about who is right until nothing but flame and ash is left make my mind back to Babylon 5 and make me wonder if J. Michael Straczynski is a sensitive. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+HRichardLoeb/posts/e6Gbw1WhKmB The Vorlons vs shadows speech is very eloquent about the situation we are living today. Like in there, it DOES NOT MATTER who win today, as in 2000 years, the same history will repeat itself. I will put it here and let those who haven't watched the show see it and can see why it so frequently mentioned in this context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJLKtXxnGr4 [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJLKtXxnGr4[/embed]

We wanted to be sure this information was immediately available here on Essex also. Originally shared by Matt Stevenson (BigMatty) The Last Release Of Artifact Info (From Us) Prior To Vienna As many of you noticed in the Acolytes instructions to us that came via Luma Viride , it was suggested/allowed that we share a small portion of the information.   Today we release our final artifact image (barring any additional guidance before the presentation in Vienna.)  And, as promised - thanks to Mel Forrest s efforts in solving the previous riddle - today's post includes the position of the artifact.

This is an audio of a conversation between the Acolyte and an unknown student shared by H. Richard Loeb​​​. I have some questions about that: Where is this cabin?

I'll make that next post in about 24 hours. The "rules" are simple - if you can make a reply in that post that pretty much says what I am talking about, I'll identify that you are correct, and make good on my offer.

I've have these views. I just want to see how far off I am with them. Cuz I keep getting into arguments . .. I'm going to be comparing the storyline of ingress to that in father.io ( were eutherius , a Ai . rules the future ,and controls everything). I started playing on the enlightened side. Because I believed in Jarvis and his views in the game and in real life. . His # 1 view. Is against any Ai (artificial intelligence, like ada or eutherius) with just that one fact. I joined the human side in father.io . To be against the ai influence. But is that wrong? Is Jarvis ok with ai's ? Would Jarvis be evolved within the father.io storyline.?

Originally shared by Matt Stevenson (BigMatty) "Can/did you ask the Acolyte..." Since posting about the successful communication with the Acolyte via Luma Viride - I've received lots of questions basically related to getting further information from the Acolyte. Many of you know my belief that "it never hurts to ask"... so why don't we collect these questions here on this thread, and hope that some formal answers are received? Please post questions for the Acolyte below. Note: This is just an attempt, there is no formal agreement or arrangement she will answer. Edgar Allan Wright Hank Johnson H.

Hi all, this was released yesterday by Fevgames. Naturally having nothing better to do on a Saturday I've spent the whole day glyphing only complex and simple glyphs.

I wanted to bring this post to attention as well, two more Flint questions. Great find(s) oneneednotbeachamber​​ , thanks for sharing!! Edit: I'm adding the text from one's comment because I think it will be of interest to this audience: "I was joking around with Flint because he asked a question to one of my friends regarding Carrie Campbell, I rattled off her relationship with Enoch Dalby, her role as semioticion, and the fact that she died. So he challenged me with these two questions some of the hardest he had. Haven't had time to decypher it though.

As pretty much expected, yes the second key opens the lock. It does not appear to do anything different than the first, but does work smoother likely due to the less worn teeth. Below are pictures of the key together, as well as more of the lock its self. Note that in the pictures - there is one showing that the hole cover comes off (and to me looks like a different material.) Also - the original key shows some orange rust now, after having been transported by me during the GORUCK​ Stealth and Urban events, during which we got wet several times.
