As long as Niantic keeps retreading toast stuff, I’ll keep retreading my toast video: https://youtu.be/KK465EvO8x0

On Monday, a shadowy operative slipped a small package into my hand – a couple of innocuous pieces of toast concealing a tiny thumb drive. Curiosity piqued, I rushed to my secure terminal and accessed the drive's contents, revealing a single video file. The grainy footage flickered to life, bearing an all-too-familiar insignia – the mark of the long-dormant Ingress Report. Yet, something seemed amiss; subtle discrepancies hinted at an unsettling deception. Given the date, and some obvious differences from the original version, I had my doubts, so I’ve spent the last couple of days vetting it.

A deepfake? An elaborate hoax? Days of analysis yielded nothing definitive. The source? A ghost. The information? Tangible. Too real to ignore.

Weighing the potential consequences, I realized the world deserved to know, even if the source remained an enigma cloaked in shadows.


UPDATE: Creators have been declassified. Credit goes to Ingress agents @Katvinci and @KodBilenAdam.

Dipping my toes into Reels / Shorts while I get ready to go to Chicago tomorrow… whee!!!

If you see me there, as always, feel free to say hi. I have a new biocard and maybe a few other goodies.

Out and about near the play box doing missions. If you run into me before the anomaly starts and want to be featured on the next Ingress Report or on NotNiantic’s reels/shorts, say hi. Or even if you just want a biocard, say hi!

Congratulations to the Enlightened for a solid victory in Chicago, and thanks to the Resistance for putting up a solid fight.

I’m going to be spending the next hour or so investigating the Machina in the play box. If you want to be featured in the next Ingress Report, be sure to say hi. As an added bonus, the first 2 agents I see will get a common loadout card.

Agents, the 25 locations for the AMER Shard Skirmishes have been released!
