"Cryptic_07" has dropped!

This time the Enlightened have the spotlight, proposing the usage of XM to treat neurodegeative diseases due to its ability to bridge connections in the brain and enhancing cognitive resillience.

Even though the author is part of the Enlightened they urge readers to look beyond faction borders to allow funding for this research.

"Cryptic_08" was released in the Portal Network today.

The media features a new discussion between Hank Johnson, Makoto and Agent Takumi.
They have found that the woman who appeared suddenly near an hospital and got recovered due to being unconscious really is Devra Bogdanovich.
Agent Takumi decides to stay with Devra and relay all info he can gather to the Resistance, while Hank and Makoto decide to start looking for Akira, the author of the dimensional shift experiments.

A new series of media has begun spawning in the Portal Network, starting with "Buried_01".

A handwritten note by Hank Johnson tells about his stay with the Azmati, an Egyptian tribe with a very deep understanding of XM. This tribe had created an XM artifact "that represents Order and Death: a force that halts Chaos freezing it into permanence". This artifact was stolen, and the Azmati believe that IQTech is behind the theft.

In the second part, we read of Hank Johnson and Makoto's expedition to Egypt. Makoto has located the source of the signal at an IQTech facility hidden beneath an ancient military installation; it is probable that the source of the signal is the artifact itself. They've learned that the artifact is linked to a woman described as an embodiment of the Artifact's power.
The journal entry concludes with Hank's hope that if they can secure this woman's help, they might recover the Artifact and halt the ongoing Anomalies.

Wayfarer added a new menu section called "Submit" to their menu. At the top is an image that says "Submit a Wayspot in Pokemon GO" which, when clicked, immediately opens Pokemon GO and it's nomination screen.

While the image for Ingress is not visible (yet) we were already able to figure out that this new deeplink will also come to the scanner via the following link, which opens Ingress and the Portal Submission screen: https://link.ingress.com/?link=https://intel.ingress.com/nomination//

Ingress Prime has been updated to 2.163.1! 

In this release, the game engine has been upgraded for improved performance and bug fixes.

The update is rolling out to App Store and Play Store.

@IUENG_Extra

Agents that live in timezones that switched to summer time today are reporting issues logging in starting at 2300 local time which persist until midnight, after which these issues fix themselves. This is triggered by an older bug which doesn't play nice when the clock is set forward or backwards.

If you're affected, you can go into your devices settings and manually set your timezone to somewhere that didn't switch to summer time, like the US. Otherwise, just wait until midnight after which you should be able to play again.

@IUENG_Extra

Three free Niantic Beacons and three Toast Beacons are currently available in the store! If you don't have a Toast Beacon to place for Thia yet (see https://news.1rj.ru/str/IUENG/7079), you can grab these instead.

@IUENG_Extra

The scanner has started to advertise the upcoming +Theta anomalies in the Dispatch menu!

It is likely that this is just a way to make the anomalies more visible and not an indicator of an upcoming campaign, although we'll keep you posted if it does happen to be a special campaign!

@IUENG_Extra

Agents are reporting that Overclock hacks are currently failing to calibrate due to an outage of the Niantic Spatial map which holds the VPS data. At the moment, there is nothing you can do to get Overclock hacks to work, we will have to wait until the map is back up.

@IUENG_Extra

Reports are coming in that Overclock is working again!

@IUENG_Extra

The Ingress team shared an update about the transition to Niantic Spatial and resulting upcoming changes.

The Earth Day Bonus, which was planned for April 22nd, has seemingly been canceled.

@IUENG_Extra

Agents are reporting issues with logging into Ingress or performing actions in the Scanner.

@IUENG_Extra

The Scanner is slowly recovering with people being able to log in again.

Agents, we have observed a significant resurgence in Machina activity. Reports indicate a return to previous levels of expansion and Portal control. The observed weakening was, as some researchers theorized, a temporary phase. We acknowledge the rapid shift and are re-evaluating our strategies.
