#MUChallenge

A challenge for Agents around the world, and a reward from the NIA's predictive intelligence unit...

NIA Analysts are working to uncover intel related to the upcoming #EXO5 Anomalies, including the locations of Volatile Portals and Research Nodes.

I will have access to 9 packets of Intel, and here is how you can earn them:

On Friday, Dec 1, create Fields (in the specific regions below, as well as Globally). The Faction with the greatest increase in MU over the 5 hour checkpoint I specify will gain access to the intel.

We'll be measuring total MU once at the beginning at the specific window, and once at the end. The Faction with the greater increase wins.

In the U.S. today, it is Thanksgiving. A time when we reflect and give thanks for what we have. I have so many things to be thankful for. Mostly I am thankful for my family and my health. However, Ingress has had such a big impact on my life and I do what I do because of you. Thank you Agents.

Will this money be used only to create the new AR game based on Harry Potter or also to improve Ingress?

Edgar Allan Wright has written:

I can not tell you what the source of my information is, but it seems that Misty, Akira, the Acolyte, PAC and Devra are converging on San Francisco to get to the bottom of the murders of Calvin and Jay Phillips. All of them have bits and pieces of the puzzles. If you can not be there, contact somebody who is. There could be other revelations. I am going to try and be there myself, but if not, I've asked a friend to do my bidding.

Also... Ask them, if they can to video any conversations between the aforementioned investigators. I suspect much will be revealed — and some old mysteries will be solved as well.

​​Many news from Niantic about the San Francisco Anomaly!!

- P.A. Chapeau will be conducting some sort of investigation the night before the Event along the Embarcadero.

- Niantic has confirmed that after the XM Anomaly, there will be an XM Crawl along a predefined route from the Anomaly Zone to the after party location at the SF Armory. Along the way, you may encounter several persons of interest at certain establishments.
They also advise to wear your Faction colours or anything that glow or illuminates and identifies you as Ingress Agents! More info will follow...

- Also, the Patron Portal from Camp Navarro will be present on site!
