Showing Pursue/chase and evolution/success and how they line up perfectly on both sets of bracelets. With the ones deamed rare if you are not wearing them they not only line up but you can see the glyphs for pursue/chase evolutions/sucess twice

Is Niantic Trying To Tell Us Something? Yesterday we received a tip from Arcane Mirage that some of the anomaly bracelets included in the Rare packs at the various sites were different from the rest. Apparently this has started to be discussed in a few areas over the last couple days… Luckily we were in a position to verify if this was in-fact true – and it is! The description of how to identify they (more) rare ones is – inspect the glyph to the right of the Aegis Nova text. We’ve provided pictures that show this, in both faction orientations. What does this mean? Anything? Is it “simply” a variance in production? Is it intended to send a different message to those who have these alternate versions? Some of the most intense anilzation we’ve seen of glyphs, aside from Jennifer Brozek‘s Glyph Drill Down series has come from Ishira Tsubasa and Achim S.. We spoke with Ishira to see if she had any theories on this, and although she too was recently made aware of it – did not (yet) have ...

Glyph Drill Down: Ignore Human Chaos Lie   Welcome to the Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. I will be running these weekly. If you are interested in joining in, please let me know in the comments. This is Faction/Level agnostic. ~@GaanEden   Glyphs are a memetic language imparting concepts to influence the human mind. In this Roundtable, we will discuss the following glyph sequence:   Ignore Human Chaos Lie   What do you think it mean? Who is the sender and what is the receiver supposed to understand? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind?   @Ishira/ Resistance Glyphs are simple, which leaves a lot to be guessed when we are trying to define their meanings. I have many theories on this sequence but let’s condense them into the most prominent ones.   Ignore it human, this chaos is a lie. This definition is much like Ignore Conflict Accept War, in the way that I feel once again the Human is being directed away from the true reason behind the chaos. As an agent if the ...

Glyph Drill Down: SHAPERS WANT HUMAN MIND FUTURE Welcome to the Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. I will be running these weekly. If you are interested in joining in, please let me know in the comments. This is Faction/Level agnostic. ~@GaanEden Glyphs are a memetic language imparting concepts to influence the human mind. In this Roundtable, we will discuss the following glyph sequence: SHAPERS WANT HUMAN MIND FUTURE What do you think it mean? Who is the sender and what is the receiver supposed to understand? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind? @wikkedimp/ Enlightened Like most people, I add words to the sequences to help in my understanding, so with this in mind, let’s start. I think that with this sequence everything hinges on one word: mind. Shapers want human(s) mind(s) (for) future (use). The word, mind, here basically refers to our ability to think or feel. To remember and make decisions. This seems pretty straight forward. A warning from the N’zeer. We ar...

I could have done alot with this but I felt this message was much more interesting. First I would like to point out how it is similar, and not at the same time, as the first sequence. There is an obvious command in this glyph but unlike our last one it is not necessarily directed to us or a specific being. That makes these glyphs a little more interesting. We could ...

Originally shared by Ana Prados (Laria) Anomalies are the best time to get information about what are the real motivations of the people behind the Xm conspirations. With that on mind, I plan to ask some question to Jahan, while on Rotterdam, if you want me to ask something for you, please add it with your name or nick on this document. https://goo.gl/tZCDbv Also, the wonderful OkinawaHiroT ENL, has volunteer to ask some question to Devra Bogdanovich on Tainan. Since she has been through the recursion, I think there is many interesting things that could be asked to her, so please, ask away, on this other document. https://goo.gl/rVtP8z If you want to add your questions on the comments, please feel free, but remember to put who you are asking to.

To understand this I put all glyphs together on the calibration grid and mirrored them horizontal. For me it is certain that the sender are the N´Zeer. For my understanding as an enlightened agent the sequence is about a process to change body, mind and soul to use it´s full potential. It´s a sequence about strenghten yourself. But by mir...

Full Report on flint dille ’s Visit to San Diego Time zone: PST (UTC - 8) Background Flint Dille was going to visit UCSD at its annual Filmatic Festival, where people come and enjoy awesome art demos, performances and panels. For this event, which is called “Ingress Gaming Meetup,” it’s an event included in this festival, and people from both factions were encouraged to join. Party Kick off Days ago Susanna Moyer posted a picture that has a shape of a teddy bear, which is called Tim Hawkinson ( http://stuartcollection.ucsd.edu/artist/hawkinson.html ), near the room flint dille is giving a talk on #Ingress . Being a local at UC San Diego, I believe it’s my job to cover his visit to this beautiful campus. It started at 1330, when Flint walked in followed by two people rumored to be NSA. We went into the room and he started to introduce this game to the audience. Around 1415 his phone rang, and he apologized and did something on his phone (presumably replying to the message he received)....

A Short Summary on flint dille 's Visit on Campus More details coming soon. For those of you who are interested in what has happened here in San Diego, here are some posts that may give you some insight for now. I'll post a follow up including more details and answers from flint dille to some of the questions people have asked earlier. Early Results Recovered from Media ( https://plus.google.com/+BrandonDowney/posts/Z8DdhyGcsVY ) on Brandon Downey's quick post just after I first finished the mission.

Originally shared by Brandon Downey We have analyzed the results of the mission at document at UCSD. Early Results: - ADA attacked the Acolyte's compound - OLW was not the target of the attack. He was given a warning 6 minutes before the attack to not be on site. - The attackers targeted a cabin onsite at the compound, which the Enlightened defended with fanatical zeal. - The attack was to confirm by ADA Roland Jarvis' body is in that cabin (which we have long suspected). - Its believed the attack was an attempt to sever the bond between the Acolyte and Roland Jarvis; perhaps in order to weaken her. #enlightenedfirst   Yik Sheng Lee H.

Ishira Tsubasa and I suspected something was a miss and our suspicions have just been confirmed. This was recently sent to my email. I'm scared and will be going dark for a while. Those who need me know how to reach me, and if you do not know how to reach me, contact Matt Stevenson or Mustafa Said to have them contact me.

Questions Surrounding Flint Dille's Ingress Gaming Meetup Over the last couple days we've seen a familiar set of events unfold. Susanna Moyer was contacted with a cryptic message ( http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/03/susanna-receives-a-clue/ ), which was quickly decoded and analized by the Ingress  community ( http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/05/05/a-mission-in-san-diego/ ). There are a lot of questions right now - and rightfully so, most of the Investigators are focused on answering them... However, its easy to overlook something - there is one thing that we know ... flint dille will be at the UCSD Filmatic Festival this weekend! (Barring any unforeseen problems he may have.) Investigator Anoxic Guan will be attending this event ( https://plus.google.com/+AnoxicGuan/posts/BvfY1Tu32Mo ) and has agreed to take a list of questions from Project Isthmus members with him. (Note - there is no guarantee Flint will be able to answer them all, but it never hurts to try!) Plea...

We've Improved Our Chat System For The Project Isthmus Street Team! Originally this effort was to be a trial, but its instant popularity with our community has made it a new feature.  We've linked our Project Isthmus Street Team channel in Hangouts to a corresponding channel in Telegram.  The contents is (pretty much) exactly mirrored in the two systems.  This allows our members the choice and flexibility of two systems. Here is some quick info for you: +You do not need to change anything if you like the existing Hangouts +(Hey! Did you know we have a Hangouts channel for our Project Isthmus Street Team?

In today's Intel leak we have, for the first time, confirmation from Ezekiel Calvin himself that he is, or was, a member of the ancient AntiMagnus. Somewhat ironically, this confirmation comes concomitantly with an admission that Calvin's current relationship status with the group appears to be “it’s complicated." There has been considerable speculation as to how fundamentally different the post-recursion Calvin will be from his previous self. There is the obvious matter of his lost memories. Like all simulacra, Calvin will have no direct memories of his previous life over the 1331 days prior to his recursion during Abaddon. However, Calvin had a distinct advantage over the other participants in the Niantic Project: he knew he was a simulacrum. Therefore, he would have prepared for this, leaving himself copious notes and information to bring his new recursion up to speed. This latest message seems to confirm my earlier prediction that Calvin would be able to collect his me...

I was very pleased to receive a passcode from Project Isthmus following my discussion with Jennifer Brozek​. Project Isthmus is doing very valuable work. Glyphs are becoming increasingly significant. It appears that understanding the nature, meaning and power of glyphs is going to be crucial to the upcoming struggle of Aegis Nova. No investigator can any longer afford to treat glyphs as a mere curiosity; they are integral to profound mysteries that effect us all. I encourage other agents to join the investigation and possibly the street team as well. Project Isthmus has the resources to reward and protect agents who assist them in their crucial work.

Glyph Theme 5/5: Journeys and Cycles   In this fifth and final “glyph talk” post about glyphs, I will be discussing the glyph themes of Cycles and Journeys. This is not the end of my glyph message discussions. This is the end of my introductory thoughts on the glyphs as a memetic language and some of the prevailing themes I have seen in the messages. To get caught up, you can read the first four glyph posts: https://plus.google.com/+ProjectIsthmus/posts/EnDjgnm987t   Glyph Talk 1/5 – The Senders Glyph Talk 2/5 – Glyph Theme: Togetherness Glyph Talk 3/5 – Glyph Theme: Aggression Versus Safety Glyph Talk 4/5 - Glyph Theme: Chaos Versus Harmony   One of the strongest glyph themes is that of Journeys and Cycles. These themes are expressed as historical statements, temporal facts, physical manifestations, and mental instructions. The most interesting thing about this theme of journeys and cycles is that they appear to be, for the most part, from both the Shapers and the N’zeer. There are so...

I received a response after sharing what Beauregarde Bittner was able to decode from the previous message.  I must say, I'm a little bit paranoid now.  The picture overlay, though it has filters on it, I'm fairly certain it is me. I'm also fairly certain that both Matt Stevenson and Jaime Quinonez were there with me, this was on the Mission Day just after Obsidian Seattle.  I think we may have all been being surveilled that day... probably because of the arrowheads, but maybe that has led to something else.  I'm really not sure what to think.

I'm a bit... concerned. I received a communication this morning with a video clip. I uploaded it so I could share it.  I think it came from someone I met at Obsidian Seattle, though I'm not 100% positive.  I'm not a codebreaker really, so, any help would be appreciated?

You’re walking down a path and come to a fork in the road. After careful consideration, you take the left path. Further down this path is another fork. You think about the information you have and take the right path and, happy in your decision, believe you know the way, but then...the road splits again. This happens again and again. The more you walk, the more you make a left or right turn, the more you realize that you are sure you have been here before. Janus, the god of water, archways, the beginning and the end, is the father of Tiberinus Janus is also believed to be before the gods, quite possibly the father of the gods Tiberinus, the god of the river Tiber, is the father of Agrippa and the grandfather of Remus and Romulus. Tiberinus is said to be the 9th king of Alba and a descendant of the Trojan Prince, and Roman hero, Aeneas. Remus and Romulus as said to be the founders of Rome which sits on the river Tiber. Romulus founded a cult based around Tiberinus. Cybele is called magn...

An idea that's been swirling in my mind. What do you guys think? Originally shared by Mustafa Said I'd like to shed light on a random thought that's been mulling in my mind for a long time now. I'm considering hosting a investigation hangout event soon, similar to the one Edgar Allan Wright ​ hosted during Abaddon. It is important to state that nothing about this is concrete yet. If everything on my end works in my favor, I'll be poking some of you to appear as members of the hangout. What do you guys think? What topics should we discuss? If I choose to go ahead about this, what advice can you give to me to help make the experience run as smooth as possible? Share your thoughts here. -Mustafa.

Glyph Talk 4/5 - Glyph Theme: Chaos Versus Harmony   In this fourth post about glyphs, I will be discussing the Glyph Themes of Chaos and Harmony. To get caught up, you can read the first three glyph posts: https://plus.google.com/+ProjectIsthmus/posts/EnDjgnm987t   Glyph Talk 1/5 – The Senders Glyph Talk 2/5 – Glyph Theme: Togetherness Glyph Talk 3/5 – Glyph Theme: Aggression Versus Safety   As before, the glyphs are a memetic language imparting concepts to influence the human mind. There appears to be two themes in conflict with each other: Harmony/Peace and Chaos. It is clear that the concept of Harmony/Peace comes from the Shapers side of the equation. It is not clear what the word “Chaos” is referring to, though it seems to both a N’zeer warning against the Shapers and a Shaper warning against the N’zeer. Between the two concepts, Harmony is a simple one (if hard to get to) while Chaos is complex and means too many different things based on context.   The concept of Harmony/Peace ...

Project Isthmus Announces New/Official PI Logo! Everyone, the Project Isthmus team is proud to announce our new & official logo today!  There was a fair amount of collaboration that went into creating this, allow us to share with you some of the thoughts and dialogue associated with that effort: "We designed this logo to look like a glyph because just like glyphs get messages to agents - we are, in essence, working to get our message to the fans and members of Project Isthmus, as well as the broader Operation Essex , and even broader still Ingress communities. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land with water on either side that links two larger pieces of land, which is why we chose to have two larger triangles connected by a single line. As most isthmus are not straight, the line itself isn't straight - you might believe it is a bit complex ... As for the color choices, it was our intention to represent not just the individual factions, but also how they connect and blend....

Glyph Talk 3/5 - Glyph Theme: Aggression Versus Safety   In this third post about glyphs, I will be discussing the Glyph Themes of Aggression and Safety. To get caught up, you can read the first two glyph posts: https://plus.google.com/+ProjectIsthmus/posts/EnDjgnm987t   Glyph Talk 1/5 – The Senders Glyph Talk 2/5 - Glyph Theme: Togetherness   As before, the glyphs are a memetic language imparting concepts to influence the human mind. There appears to be two prevalent themes: Aggression which appears to be primarily from the N’zeer side and Safety which appears to be primarily from the Shapers.   The Aggressive stance links into the previously discussed Togetherness theme. The following are N’zeer influenced: ==>Attack Shaper Evolution ==>Gain Portal Attack Weakness ==>Attack Weak/Complex Shaper Lie ==>Forget Conflict Accept War   In these, the glyphs advocate aggression. To fight against something—the Shapers and their influence. Their whole ideology is an aggressive one. ...

Originally shared by Josh Basilio Let me say, what a weekend. Possibly a full post of my experiences later, but I've been captured in picture and video so much and the results speak for themselves. I did want to share something interesting the Enlightened GORUCK teams discovered during the course of our mission in Orlando. These are two sections of an encoded message, and we were told Hank Johnson​ is involved somehow. I'm also told that GORUCK teams elsewhere across the globe have recovered similar sections. I post these to foster a concerted effort to collect these fragments together and discover more truth. I believe my Resistance counterparts in Orlando have seen the same encoded sections that I have, plus more. Let's work together!

Originally shared by Ana Prados (Laria) After my meeting with the Acolyte, as promised, I'm posting the answer to the question everyone submitted, the time I have with her was limited, so no all the question has been answered. I have also resume my impression on the meeting at the end. Mustafa Said  I would like to know just how she had grown so close to +Roland Jarvis​ to the point that she was able to surpass him as the spiritual leader of the Enlightenment   She told me that even when they have different means, they want to achieve the same destination. He understood that and that's why she is her successor Mustafa Said   and  Mike Wissinger  I would also like to know what knowledge she possesses on the matter of Mazz and her untimely demise She can't answer that now, but she says, that everything will be revealed on time *What is the current state of Roland Jarvis  now that the sensitives have been respawned as simulacra* She does not know, she can communicate with him...

"You see the waves.  I see the water." The Acolyte has used this phrase many times for as long as she's been in the public eye... What does it mean? Here are three different shells, one given to Nicole Kraler, one to Matt Stevenson, and one to myself.  Their journey will be quick, but our journey with the shield of Obsidius appears to be just starting... Is there significance to the shells themselves? We know Martin Zehetmayer made a post on Operation Essex about one he too received.  A good discussion has been started here: https://plus.google.com/+MartinZehetmayer/posts/6FftTXyJE8g Acolyte photo credit: NCC1701R  Edgar Allan Wright H.

Thoughts on meeting the Acolyte As I saw Matt Stevenson open the box from Susanna Moyer, I knew from my recent meeting with flint dille during GORUCK  that we had a difficult path ahead of us.  Many investigators thought hard about the choice and after delivering the artifacts to The Acolyte. After receiving the artifacts, she said "we can now ignite the Obsidian Shield to protect us from the N'zeer."  I grew confident that we had made the right choice.  Shaper/N'zeer conflict benefits no one.  With the artifacts in her hand, I felt like I could rest easy. But there was no rest that day.  The Acolyte of Roland Jarvis said that now it's up to us!  It is up to us to prevail, and win, and fight.  A tall order, but the work of Ingress agents is never done.  The next step is approaching, and may hit close to home.

Interesting local phenomenon - XM showing more along local trails, regardless of portal presence. Generally speaking, it looks like more trail activity means more XM. The winding trail with 2 partially deployed portals at the bottom has not previously shown any XM. The publicly accessible track has been an obvious oval for several months. Originally shared by Melissa Glasser Interesting XM distribution pattern showing up locally. Along area trails - more trail use, more XM.
