#PortalsAreMoving Originally shared by ViridCascadia The Tecthulhu are on the move. Six of the thirteen Tecthulhu have been attracted to the anomalous event related to #13MAGNUSReawakens, occurring in Portland Oregon on August 26th 2017. #ViridCascadia, Temple of Light, Transvisionary Oracle, Resonating Redwood, Team NorCal and Tu es qui conformat will have representation of their Tecthulhu supported portals on site. These portals will be available to view and interact with, in-person and in-scanner. Don't forget to register for the anomaly and join your faction on the ground!

We hope the individual researchers will reply... Originally shared by ViridCascadia #Fateofthe12 As an Enlightened team from Camp Navarro, we were asked to help convey the decisions on which researchers to release from the Magnus, and which will stay. Before we can do so, the matter of consent has been weighing heavily upon all of us. On behalf of the Enlightened Agents we represent, ViridCascadia would like to pose a question to the current members of the Niantic MAGNUS: What do you want? To stay, or to go? Our time to decide running short, and we must hear from the researchers by 17 Jun 17:00 -7 GMT, if they would like their thoughts on their futures considered by the Enlightened before a decision is rendered. If the communication paths are not safe, please work through H. Richard Loeb as he is always willing and able to pass on communications.

Limited Edition Project Isthmus ​ Bio Cards Everyone, we are happy to announce that we have a one-time run of limited edition PI bio cards. These ones have a few tweaks, and are produced via swag-guru Robert Vaughan​. As such they bear the RobWear seal on the back! Although a few agents have been given these early, today is the first day they become publically available. There are 50 of them being brought to #13MagnusReawakens #MagnusReawakens ! That makes a total of 3 different versions now in circulation. These limited run RobWear ones, the original, and the very rare un-cut ones. Ingress​

Some options on "plugging in" more to the #13MagnusReawakens #MagnusReawakens event are available. If you are an event attendee, even if remote, and want Slack info... OR if you are a global observer and want Telegram info, please feel free to post a comment here asking for more info on the chat specifics. Originally shared by ViridCascadia Announcing #13MagnusReawakens Event & Global Chat #ViridCascadia agent Matt Stevenson and #TuEsQuiConformat agent JpLolo jplolo worked together as a cross-faction team to set up & implement a chat solution for the upcoming #13MagnusReawakens event. This solution will enable event atendees to not only chat with one another easier, it will ALSO enable people to push images and news to the world, from the event. Here is the "need to know" information: -There is a global Telegram announcements feed that ANYONE can join! -There is a global Telegram chat channel that ANYONE can join! -There is a Slack instance that is for A...

Great day in Seattle! Originally shared by Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa Met up with other investigators here in Seattle to discuss #magnusrewakens , lore, glyphs, and swag! It was wonderful seeing Matt Stevenson​​ again and getting to meet Jennifer Brozek​​ ,DarthMewtwo​​ , Jeff Meaders​​. ViridCascadia​​ 

As both a Project Isthmus​ and a ViridCascadia​ member, I'm excited (and honored) to be continuing the Niantic Project​ Investigation at #MagnusReawakens ! We will be working on an official way to gather community questions, stay tuned... Edgar Allan Wright​ John Hanke​ Originally shared by ViridCascadia The Raven stands as guardian of a portal to an unknown dimension. He is ancient, wise, all knowing and all seeing. He has chosen to reveal his Omniscience as we at ViridCascadia make our way to the activation of the Tecthulhu and awakening of the Magnus. #Ingress #MagnusReawakens #ViridCascadia H.

Honored that Project Isthmus has gotten to help out with this initiative! Originally shared by Mustafa Said Special Announcement We've noticed a large tick in people wanting access to the Essex Hangout in the last couple of weeks. So, Matt Stevenson​ of Project Isthmus​ and I have been working on a exciting solution to this. We've managed to create a Operation Essex Telegram chat and we've linked it to the Hangout so people in one chat can see the activity on the other! This'll allow us to expand the willing Investigators who want to jump even further down the rabbit hole to do so. In order to join you'll need the Telegram app, which can be downloaded from either the Google Play Store or the App Store on iOS. From there, you'll need the access link to enter the chat. *Here's the link:   https://telegram.me/joinchat/BNGL80EOR0SHtMHGCXUuXw   It is vital to state that all chat syncs occasionally have service outages/need repair. The Operation Essex team will a...

Looks like we've got more surprises ahead! Originally shared by Knyteshadeaux Robb Sisson More Info From NOLA Enlightned... I saw the recent question posed by Jamie Quinonez about the post we made just a few days back... It's a good question, & it is one we ourselves are actually asking - what further information will we gain? NOLA Enlightened agree that the lore is for all agents, regardless of faction. That said, there are some details we simply can not reveal. In an attempt to answer the public's questions as best we can, we will provide the following image. Niantic Edgar Allan Wright H. Richard Loeb ,who will be responsible for answering this question? flint dille Haerang Dong Andrew Krug Operation Essex Project Isthmus

This was the first post of the contents of one of the three cases from this weekend. Awesome work reporting by Julia Vivienne Loverdose (and as an Embedded Reporter, too - VERY well executed!) I can't wait to see the third one! Originally shared by Julia Vivienne Loverdose What was inside Hank Johnson ​ 's case? Agents were wondering what was inside the case which resistance got yesterday in Rome. Usually such information is kept unrevealed. But this knowledge should belong to all agents. The anomaly series is over. Now it is safe to say a few words about what was inside the case without breaking the #opSec. Inside the case were: * Envelopes with puzzles; * A Klue clue; * The Klue; * A roll of sticky tape; * A big portable lamp. On the front side of puzzle pieces there was a picture. The back side was a QR-code. By solving the puzzle and flipping the image over, you'd get the QR-code that lead to Intel. (Here begins #opSec) The sticky tape was to stick puzzle pieces toget...

Using NIA Ops Approved Format Of Missions For An Event Competition Something that we have encountered at Project Isthmus​​ during the past year is a thing we have watched our friends at CLIME​​ also experience… Both our groups have wanted to use Missions in a manner that is slightly different than Ingress​​ intended. This also heavily applies to #FS #FirstSaturday events. After A LOT of thought on the topic, I have the following proposal/method that I’d like to release, both in hopes that it can solve the problem & also to gather community feedback, as many of you may have ideas to improve upon this idea! Problem Statement: Ingress players who host events would sometimes like to use Missions for competitions at their events. As is, there is no way to either schedule a mission’s release date & time – nor is there the ability to “password protect” the start of a mission. This results in the inability to use Missions to gate a competition, because they must be published early ...

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! (Yes, you must be presen...

Addressing A Good Problem To Have (YES We Are X-Fac!) Hello everyone! Today it was brought to light that our Project Isthmus effort would benefit from some further clarification.  Quite simply - I awoke to several people either asking "Is PI X-fac?", or if they already knew - telling me "hey, people do not understand y'all are X-fac." At first glance this caught me off guard... You see, I've of course watched 100% of all of our communication. (Okay, to be honest I need to catch up a little in the PI Street Team HO, there is A LOT of conversation going on there!) As such, I vividly recall talking about "Is PI X-fac?" in the Operation Essex Hangout, seeing the topic discussed in earlier posts, mentioning it on Behind The Scanner , etc..  But then it occurred to me, a lot of time (measured in internet years) has passed since then!  When we made our first update to the "About this community" section here, we described the fictional story bein...

Project Isthmus and November Lima  Team Up For Some Special Missions, With Prizes! (Day 3 / Release 3 Thread) Just a couple days ago we posted the news about this exciting new mission contest series we are doing, with Linda B and Ethan Lepouttre as they tour NL through many great cities, on their way to the Orlando anomaly.   https://plus.google.com/+MattStevensonBigMatty/posts/UehAZSH6U4S We are quite thrilled to say its been a big success thus far, and as such has generated a lot of comments on the original thread. (Okay, yes, many of those are from me... what can I say? Hee hee!) To help keep things streamlined (a little pun there, get it?) we are starting this new thread for Detroit! Woo-hoo, go go go Detroit, it's time to move! The rules are simple: 1) The day of the NL event you will find a new mission available in your city 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 a...

Project Isthmus and November Lima  Team Up For Some Special Missions, With Prizes! We are very happy to announce that the Project Isthmus team has created some special missions for some of the cities on NL-1331's current tour!  These missions are based around the Obsidian Artifact images that Project Isthmus released to the public. The rules are simple: 1) The day of the NL event you will find a new mission available in your city 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 B and Ethan Lepouttre at the NL event! (Yes, you must be present at that event to win. Only one first place prize will be awarded per venue.)  There will also be a small number of other prizes for participants who did not come in first as well. Here is the schedule: St. Lou...

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. (Position: 00000111) H. Richard Loeb Edgar Allan Wright Hank Johnson Operation Essex Linda B Andrew Krug

UPDATE: Mel Forrest solved the puzzle! :D If anyone can tell me what the extra clue I've provided in the last post is, the next post will contain the same type of clue. 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 provided some clues and clarifications already - but probably not tons more coming. Maybe a few.

One Of The Artifacts With Glyphs From The Box FYI, there are actually a couple ways to read this post's title... Operation Essex Edgar Allan Wright Hank Johnson H. Richard Loeb Linda B Andrew Krug

(More of) What's In The Box? Here is a second artifact, and a clearer view of the amount of artifacts received. Just to be clear - The Enlightened "marble marble" is from me. Additionally - the challenge coin was not included, its there to help you gauge the size (and of course show off some another piece of my personal treasured swag from John D !) H.
