Truthseeker: For Wendy, I think it is the first time that she can actually think about what her true Faction is. She's had too many people in her head before.
Truthseeker: I haven't seen any of the Researchers in-person lately. Wendy may have gotten better at disappearing than me, but I've been trying to reach out to her.
Alex: Exogenous departed left a large hole in portal network, according to Visur, they have a plan to let agents safely use portal network, but it seems they’re actually trying to seize the power of it.
Truthseeker: It's not just Visur, Hulong's initiative on Eos Protocol is similar.
Truthseeker: I'm undecided on whether that's all good or bad. Curious what we can achieve with this new form of XM, but also very skeptical when these corporates are putting investments on XM.
Truthseeker: The 3rd phase of Eos Protocol is the scary one. What does Capture Their Minds mean? Who is capturing? For what purpose? Those are the questions.
Alex: We’ll see a few weeks later. So at the end of tessellation, the 13 researchers rewrite their pattern to build membrane, and lost their sensitivity.
Alex: Will we see them gain back their sensitivity? Or new people will have them? Or new archetypes.
Truthseeker: OLW is already working on getting back his Sensitivity. I bet Jarvis is working on his own path as well.
Truthseeker: Sensitives aren't just limited to the 13 Researchers, they just happen to have a lot higher Sensitivity than most.
Truthseeker: It's possible that one day a new Magnus is formed. All the Agents are at some level of Sensitivity, if they are able to activate the Ingress Scanner.
Alex: So you leave the door open about whether we’ll see new actors of them.
Truthseeker: We're all acting something in this world. Jarvis acts as a spiritual mentor. I try to act normal when facing NIA Agents around the corner.
Truthseeker: The black object on my head acts as a hat. The Magnus is a role with certain responsibilities to be played, so for sure, if the previous Researchers lost their Sensitivity, there might be new people to take their place.
Truthseeker: or perhaps the role is going to be vacant for a while. I do not know.
Alex: Does the Tethered Hand have a writer team to help them with all the decoding challenges, or do they come up with all of them by themselves?
Truthseeker: There were more people working on the Tessellation when it first initiated, soon the team consolidated. If there needs to be transcripts of incidents, Tethered Hand would scheme with Agent Furey. Tethered Hand would then use the intel as starting material to build the puzzles. TH does the encryption and crafting themselves.
Alex: What’s the inspiration for the creation of Tessellation? As one of the first Ingress event with real life playing comes in second and online event come in first, how did you convince others on board?
Truthseeker: Apart from being the TH’s master plan, Tessellation was an initiative to mobilize Agents across the world and connect different player groups. i.e the hackers, decoders, lore-followers, and coordinators...etc. It’s built on the principles of Ingress takes Agents to places, and it is about the sense of community.
