I was getting worried about you
Buried in the search for the so called "God particle"
researches in Cern, Switzerland stumbled across an unexplained and little reported phenomenon
A transdimensional energy they call Exotic Matter
Little is known about XM, other than it appears to have the ability to shape human thought,
and even perhaps time and space
Have you guys ever heard of Niantic?
At the core of the controversy is an organization called the Niantic Project
Leaked Niantic technology under the code name Ingress has allowed ordinary citizens to interact with XM
using consumer devices
??? starts acting crazy.
Since then the world has become deeply divided over whether to embrace or resist
it's effect. >>> ??? cannot control the hearts of man!
Factions battle for control over XM portals and populations that surround them.
Each week the Ingress report will bring you the latest news on faction control
scanner technology and the so called Niantic Project
Welcome to the Ingress report. I am Susanne Moyer.
Our first story comes from the US, where on March 16 two massive confrontations errupted
between those who seek to help the Shapers, the so called Enlinghted
and the Resistance, who mean to stop the spread of their unknown influence.
Agents from both sides met in Austin, Texas and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
each home to strange anomalies, attributed to one of Niantic Labs team members Misty Hanna
and her attempt to escape from the company Swiss facility.
As hashtag #freemisty lit up Google+, scores of agents turned up in hopes of controlling the key portals
which would allow them to influence Misty's eventual
alignment with one faction or the other
While the Enlightened successfully controlled both events,
it took XM amassed by both groups for Misty to physically teleport
herself out of the Niantic lab where she was being kept
What will she do with her newly found abilities
and how deeply aligned with the Enlightened is she?
Both remains to be seen. For now, both factions are using the event as a rallying cry.
We lost Cluen Scarlen, we knew we had to make a stand today
and that's ??? what we got Misty and now it is a whole new era for the Enlightened.

Globally, the Resistance has had a substantial lead over the last weeks
largely thanks to a reported 23 million Mind Unit fields across Egypt
A group of unknown Enlightened agents struck back briefly,
securing an estimated 18 million MU field covering hundreds of square miles including California, Nevada and parts of Mexico

We now go to this week Situation Report submitted by an Enlightened agent in New Delhi.
Right now, the Resistance are holding
all the portals in the area
But there is a plan in the works to take
the entire city for the Enlightened
I can't talk more about it right now
but when the Intel map turns green
you will know we've done it

The first 150 agent's submissions will receive 100 AP
In tech news. With the scanner update client version 1.21.3 agents are now able to report
suspected new portals via their scanner devices
Agents are being encouraged to report areas
which feature unique works of art,
architecture or other unusually creative sights
as they tend to be highly associated with XM portals
Creating much buzz amongst the Ingress community is the upcoming novel The Alignment
Co-authored by Hank Johnson the former special forces operative
who was a member of the Niantic team
The Ingress reporters obtained an advanced copy of the book
which despite being marketed as fiction appears to contain actual details
of Johnson's recent encounters with XM artefacts in Africa
Ninantic labs is reportedly trying to block the release of the book
which is currently scheduled to be published April 2
