A recent memo of staggering proportion from within the Niantic Project reveals plans to 'shutter' the current phase of the project.

It is unclear to me what this means for the future of all those involved, although it seems there are plans and intentions for some of us…

I'll be watching my back more closely than usual, for sure.

Today marks the launch of Alignment - Ingress, the new novella covering Hank Johnson and Conrad Yeats' journey in Africa, available now at Google Play and on Amazon.

Watch the trailer, or read the first chapter preview…

New York Times Bestselling author Thomas Greanias has informed me that he plans to celebrate the launch by sharing a large collection of Ingress Scanner Activation codes and Asset Redemption Codes on Google+ with those who can answer the questions he will be posting over the course of the day. Watch his Google+ page for details…

There was a flood of activity on +Thomas Greanias' Google+ page yesterday. Close to 1000 comments, and many interesting answers from the author on the four interview threads. He seemed cagey but also quite in-the-know on a number of topics, if you read between the lines. Another author we've been tracking also made an appearance…

Earlier today, +Joe Philley started a thread, challenging the assumption that the document leaked on April 1st was a hoax, and that the Niantic Project may actually be beginning the process of shuttering their operation. Interesting observations there, as well.

I received a document today revealing the confusion and conflict inside the Niantic Labs on the eve of Misty's disappearance. It seems oddly prescient. One thing is for certain, everything changed that night…

Susanna Moyer is back with another episode of the Ingress Report. This week, she's covering power shifts in Rome, Ingress Scanner drones and Tuesday's book launch by +Thomas Greanias.

In other news, disregard anything you've heard or are about to hear. It was just a scratch.

A recent transcript of a conversation between Misty Hannah and ADA. Keep an ear to the ground, I'll share details about this public performance as soon as I hear more.

With Phillips being given more or less carte-blanche to 'clean house,' and Misty apparently having some old scores of her own out in the wild, it's clear to me why Misty needs ADA.

Not sure yet how exactly ADA hopes to exploit Misty's knowledge of Exotic Matter Hyperthreading to her own advantage. If you have a theory, let me know.

Another recent transcript, this one between ADA and Henry Bowles, Lead Developer for Systems (one assumes, including the assembly of ADA from Omnivore components) at the Niantic Project.

ADA seems acutely aware that shutdown process that Director Yuen Ni began at the beginning of the month has a direct impact on her. She seems to have a plan in motion, but will it be enough?

Two major pieces of news today. It seems Misty Hannah will be performing live at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles on April 24th, at 8PM. Details about how to attend this event are still forthcoming, but it seems that the wheels set in motion some time ago during a conversation between ADA and Misty are beginning to have an effect.

In other news, I recently received a document from an as of yet unknown researcher at Niantic. Something about a Shaper Data Transmission on April 21. I am working now to verify that the tip is real, and will share it with you shortly if I can confirm.

An update to the Ingress Scanner Technology has brought the Powercubes out into the open.

I've had this document for quite some time, but I was never quite sure of its veracity. As things have unfolded it seems it was a real piece of intel.

Both factions are beginning to absorb the news revealed yesterday, of a data exfil operation on April 21 covering a sizeable section of Europe. The powercubes, with their tactical value in high-XM use situations, will undoubtedly be a powerful tool during this mission.

An odd document today discusses something called Ken Owen's 'Hide in the Spotlight' strategy.

A newspaper article covers Klue's call to Susanna Moyers, and sheds new light on the 'minor' incident in Santa Monica last week. Apparently Klue and I are now being considered 'fictional characters.'

When the Niantic Project closes its doors, what will happen to the researchers who have discovered this new layer within our reality?

Will they move away from the work that has occupied them so intensely? Will they begin to collaborate among themselves, or branch away as individuals?

In this calibration video, Carrie Campbell discusses her work at Niantic, and her desire to uncover the root linguistic mechanics of the Shaper Mind interaction.

I'm curious if she'll be able to continue her work after Ni closes the doors and locks them shut.

A leaked email thread confirms the news revealed in yesterday's Ingress Report: It seems links now contribute to portal defense, and XMPs are to begin consuming XM in order to obtain more accurate targeting.

The changes to the scanner seem to have been unauthorized… a post from Curter Zokiev takes credit for the changes.

Fingers within Niantic are pointing at Dr. Victor Kureze, but he has denied the allegations, according to the leaked emails.

Was on-site to support Misty at her first live performance since Niantic entered our lives. Something ugly went down, I can't be sure, but I thought I heard ADA speak, if so, a huge relief.
