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!

Remember, the objective is to score shards by making them jump through a link that's at least 250m long.

Join the battle on June 8th, 16:00 to 17:00 local time.

The New Ingress Report team woke up this morning to an incredibly pleasant surprise - the Edgar Allan Wright badge. We are deeply humbled to join the ranks of other agents who have earned this badge through their passion and dedication to the Ingress universe.
