Berlin Festival of Lights

Every year in October, Berlin transforms its landmarks, monuments, and buildings into pieces of art using light, lasers, and other illumination effects.  The Berlin Festival of Lights is one of the most famous light art festivals in the world.  Of course, Ingress will be there and we hope you will be too!  Starting October 8th, right after the official Berlin Mission Day, there will be missions occurring throughout Berlin until the festival ends on October 16th.  Read more about the event here https://plus.google.com/+Ingress/posts/6E8Pr8qeqLC and be sure check out the official Festival of Lights trailer.

Mission Day Recap

We’ve had a great turnout for our Mission Days in September so far, and we hope you’ll join us for more during Via Lux.  Visit https://www.ingress.com/events for more details.

#Devra #BackStory

"Devra Bogdanovich just emerged from a period of silence following her appearance in Wroclaw. She made a post on Google+ sharing some thoughts on what she discovered while there.

It’s an interesting read, especially if you’ve been following the events of the past few days…

<<I am not missing or in any danger. Just… processing things.

Richard Loeb did a number of kind things for me that night when I was having dinner with the man who called himself ‘James.’ He extracted me from an NIA observation and sent me to Wroclaw on a mission that was only of benefit to me, although I wonder if this was what the NIA were after, and if so why?

He claims the New Wave Resistance told him about this, but how did they know? And why would they want ME to know? After having spent some time with him, I’m wondering if I’m starting to think like him… I have questions that remain unanswered for now, but one thing did become clear.

When I arrived in Poland it all came back. I had heard them. They were the N’zeer. They spoke in verbal Glyphs which I could unaccountably understand. I know that I had dreamed this before, as a teenager, but now I’m beginning to see that it may not have been a dream after all.>>

"My contact at Visur was able to get this intel related to the upcoming #ViaLux Anomalies to me, but our transmission was intercepted and almost compromised through a highly sophisticated hack.

Fortunately it looks like most of the information made it through intact, but this pattern is starting to become worrying...

#ViaLux #News

Agents, on the day of the Anomaly, Ingress will be providing live field reporting and geo-specific messages with puzzles, clues and intel as part of the day long enhanced coverage for events as they unfold around the world.

The enhanced coverage will be provided through our Facebook page to use features like geo-targeted posting and livecasting. You can follow the action by visiting the Ingress Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/Ingress on September 24th. A Facebook account is not required to view public content. Normal Anomaly coverage will still exist on our Google+ page and Twitter throughout the day.

The enhanced coverage will provide access to the most up to date reporting from on the ground, vital clues that could help shape the outcome of the day and messages from important figures like Hank Johnson and Jahan.

ADA’s fate hangs in the balance, and you could be the deciding factor. Agents everywhere will need to answer the call...

<<*ATTENTION ALL AGENTS*

Yesterday, an unknown group was able to breach some Visur systems and insert unauthorized content into our Anomaly Projection Reports. )`:

Visur prides itself in maintaining a world class security infrastructure LOL, and while the investigation remains ongoing, it is clear that this group exercised highly sophisticated mechanisms to perform this breach -- mechanisms that have not been seen before. We have not yet identified the culprit.

We have been unable to confirm the veracity of the information injected into the Anomaly Impact Projections, as such we are not reissuing the original version of our documents G0OD CaLL-- it is possible that the information presented in the modifications may have intelligence value to Agents.ajvkok3lo72ut32hocfs

Visur will extend monitoring activities surrounding the upcoming Anomalies in order to maintain situational awareness of possible 'unexpected' changes to the Anomaly flow and structure -- any discovered information will be included in our hashed data.

As of now, we have restored control of this Google+ page and will continue to advise Agents as necessary regarding the upcoming #ViaLux Anomalies.
