In today's Weekly Wrap Up by H. Richard Loeb at investigate.ingress.com, he left this unique thought: 

In the days that follow, I’ll be trying to figure out what lies ahead for Jahan, the Acolyte and their Factions. If Jahan is on the back foot after the Enlightened’s success this weekend, what will she do? Are they actually prepared to deal with the consequences of pursuing the Obsidian Shield technology? And what can we find out about the contents of the lockbox? 

The final question about the lockbox...well, I'll let Matt Stevenson handle that. But what do you guys think about the rest of it? 
Is activating the Obsidian Shield going to bring about dangerous consequences?

    I'm not sure. Like any tool or weapon we do not yet understand, it can be dangerous if handled wrong. Even a butter knife can cut. It is why we are moving slowly and doing our due diligence first.

    Jennifer Brozek All we know as of now is that the Shield blocks influence. Nothing more.....as of now.

    Yes, but do we truly know how the Shapers or N'zeer influence us? Is it purely through XM and the network of XM? If so, will activating the shield, regardless of which faction does so, decrease XM, destroy portals, or maybe some other unknown consequence?

    Jeff Meaders Intriguing. That's the million dollar question at the moment.

Project Isthmus and November Lima   Team Up For Some Special Missions, With Prizes! (Day 4 / Release 4 Thread) Continuing the exciting new mission contest series we started with Linda B  and Ethan Lepouttre earlier in the week as they tour NL-1331 through many great cities, on their way to the Orlando anomaly! This mission series commemorates the four Obsidian Artifact glyph images that the Project Isthmus team posted; now that we have reached the final glyph we released, this will be the final mission in this particular series.   The rules are simple: 1) The day of the NL event you will find a new mission available in your city (close to the NL venue) 2) Be first (or one of the first) to complete that mission and learn it's pass phrase  3) Return here and make a comment that includes your in-game agent name, and the pass phrase If you are quick enough, you will qualify for a first place prize to be given to you in person by Linda and Ethan at the NL event!

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 like humans have today, glyphs impart concepts directly to the viewer’s brain where they are mulled over and considered by
