Meanwhile in Berlin: Shard #42 (top left) is the last one remaining in the German capital and is enjoying a nice sightseeing tour!
The original spawn area for the Shards was slightly west from the targets (bottom right)

Scoring update @ 1100 UTC!
Not much has changed since the last update, only Mountain View's score was finalised as all the Shards of the Californian city were captured. Stockholm RES also captured the last shard.

With Shards and Targets de-spawned in Asia and Europe, and close to de-spawning in the Americas, these are the final scores for the April Fools' (a.k.a. Shooting Star) Shards.
The Enlightened won in 6 cities against the 4 of the Resistance, who captured 30 Shards against the 36 of the rivals.
4 Shards were left uncaptured: 1 in Berlin, Germany and 3 in Singapore.
No win criteria was announced for this unplanned event, so it is unknown what the consequence of these results will be although the Enlightened came out on top.
Rumor has it that this mini-event was a test for Ingress Events in Q3 2022! If so, you'd better brace yourselves, Shards are coming!

Niantic announced a new game: Peridot!
After thousands of years of slumber, Peridots (or Dots for short) are waking to a world vastly different from the one in which they used to roam, and they’ll need our help to protect them from extinction.
You’ll foster your own Peridots as you embark on this experience. These are creatures who feel so real, you’ll love every moment raising them from birth to adulthood. While you explore the world together, you’ll get to learn more about your cute new friends, develop a bond as you nurture and play with them, and work with other players to diversify their species.
This is the first time since Ingress that Niantic has launched a first-party game!
You can check out the website and subscribe for updates, including for when the game launches in your region, here: https://playperidot.com/

Agents are reporting issues with the Kythera counter in their profile. The metric doesn't appear to increase correctly and the Kythera badge doesn't get awarded when 10 Beacons are interacted with.
We'll edit this post as soon as more details are available from Niantic.

Have you heard of Wordle? The puzzle game has taken the internet by storm with its simple but still challenging premise. Now, agent @rei0000 has released the Ingress version of it: Glyple!
In Glyple, you must guess a random glyph within six moves. Hints are only given after one move, then you will be shown which lines were correct and which were wrong.
You can play Glyple as often as you like! We wish you a lot of fun and success while guessing.
You can play here: http://reirei0000.github.io/glyple/public
