"711 is the threshold. Meaning you had to get at least that many UPV for the Odyssey medal"

Comment from Andrew Krug (Niantic Community Manager) on the official post (https://goo.gl/jWBfwt)

@IUENG

Hank Johnson reveals some mysterious information about Susanna Moyer's disappearance.

"Some more disclosure. Some have suggested that I learned about the Tecthulhu from Susanna Moyer. The most elaborate theory involved how it may have been the password -- the secret encryption key Nigel Moyer gave her when he was dying. If that is true, I have no way to confirm one way or another. I did not ask her for, nor did she divulge, any information about the key.

I know that she was planning on returning to various labs and workspaces that Nigel had occupied over the course of his very long career as a researcher and scientist -- Buenos Aires, Bletchley and a number of other places -- she was looking for a potential site where he may have uncovered abandoned work related to the Die Glocke project.

In one of our final conversations, she said that she might need my help later on -- how could I be reached and would that be OK.

I told her that I did not want to get enmeshed in the business of personal revenge, no matter how valid her case against Jahan was.

She said that that was not the help she felt she would need.

After that, we discussed ABDN for some time -- what it meant -- where the technology may have come from -- how it could be connected to 'older variants' of the same technology. At the time, I was puzzled.

I now understand it better, but it is best if I hold my peace for the time."

About 5h ago, the Via Lux Adventurer and Odyssey badges were realeased to the Scanners! Go check yours!

@IUENG

#Scanner

New Anomaly in the scanner behaviour. At startup, after the usual "Welcome back" phrase, you can hear ADA saying:
"Now I remember. Now i know the parts of me that used to fit together."

(Thanks @mHrini for pointing that out)

@IUENG

#Kodama

"Kodama shares a new post on her Google+ page -- I'm not sure if it's directly connected to her investigation into the disappearance of Susanna Moyer or if this is just a tangential observation.

The questions she raises about Klue... well... these are definitely ideas that have emerged before. I've had some of these theories myself...

<<Something has been tickling the back of my mind. Who was (or is) Klue? If you recall, she seems to have emerged from nowhere -- but she immediately revealed massive insights into many of the puzzles about the original Niantic Project investigation -- like she was some kind of master code-solver...

If you look at her first ever appearance, she seems to have known P. A. Chapeau (Richard Loeb), but there’s no explanation as to how they met or how she emerged. Flash forward years. She continues to associate with Loeb on and off. She's either merged with or been hacked by ADA, been affected by either Faction on multiple occasions and was last heard of locked away in a cabin on the Acolyte’s Compound near the corpse of Jarvis in what appears to be some kind of a weird transdimensional voodoo ritual.

And what we don’t know is how much of ADA is still inside of her? In other words, how much is Klue and how much is ADA. And there is the corollary question -- how much of Klue is in ADA? Some have suggested that Klue may have been some kind of Trojan Horse -- a way to crack open ADA's digital shell...>>

#Techtulhu #HankJohnson

Hank Johnson, from his Google+ profile updates us on the "Techtulhu" events.

"Recent events have convinced me that sometimes secrets are really lies in disguise.

A secret, by definition means that you are not telling the whole truth. So here is the truth.

Any of us has a number of faces: there is the face we have now, the face we once had and the face we will have. They are all different faces, but they are all the same face.

And all faces have different expressions: happy, sad, angry, peaceful, and a million shades in between. All different and yet all are from the same face.

Places are like that, too. There is what a place is today, what it was yesterday, what it was 100 years ago and what it will be in 100 years. And most importantly, there is what the place could be.

Now imagine that certain people... sensitives... could possess certain Prime Objects and enter a place and it would be that place, but a different manifestation of it.

Well... I walked into a contemporary university (which I shall not name) and with certain help found myself in a library that was believed to be fictional at Miskatonic University, also believed to be fictional.

And I found a volume in the ‘reserved’ section that went by a name I will not mention here. And, for reasons that should be obvious, I did not open the volume, but I gazed at its cover and I saw things of indescribable beauty and horror."

To be continued...(?)

#Devra #Vault

"I recently asked the following via the Question of the Day:

What was Devra’s Vault?

🔸Secret backup facility for Niantic Researcher memories
🔸Place where the Howcraft document was stored
🔸Where Devra kept the last of the Portal Virus
🔸A memory from Devra’s childhood

This question was less a quiz with a right answer than my attempt to try and structure my own thoughts based on the Investigative community's response. It's a puzzle that I think we have the answer to, but I'm not sure...

Earlier today, Dr. Edgar Allan Wright weighed in... it's an interesting read. As usual for him, more questions than answers... but sometimes good questions are their own reward. They allow us to frame our thinking.

Here's what he had to say:

<<The question of Devra's Vault is fascinating to me. Sometimes, simply asking a question begets answers not only to that question, but other unstated questions.

While technically, the correct answer might be 'A memory from Devra's Childhood', the question in and of itself begets discussion about a secret backup facility for Niantic Researcher memories. I have a very strong suspicion that such a place and thing exists, but I have to revisit that. Do we know that such a backup exists? Is there evidence of it?

And what of the Portal Virus. It is my clear impression that she used the last of it at Hulong and, as you know, she has resisted every attempt I've made to open a dialogue with her. I'm not sure why. We are adults, Devra.

And... While it is not technically the Vault, perhaps the greatest revelation to come from asking this question was the existence of the Miskatonic Library. We now know that although it was believed to be fictional in our plane of existence, it does exist in another plane and that that plane can be accessed from ours.

Does the ensuing madness of the so-called "Necronomicon" really come from the Glyphs or does it come from clearly seeing what I'll call for the purposes of this discussion an 'Alternate Plane' from our plane -- that the madness comes from the cognitive dissonance of simultaneously experiencing two realities? >>
