Agents,
Excellent work in battling for control over Kythera last weekend. The final results are as follows:
Agent-deployed Battle Beacon:
NIA-deployed Rare Battle Beacon:
Shards:
With the Enlightened victory of the Kythera Anomaly Series, K was successfully able to reassemble the recovered Shards of the Kythera Mechanism and use (not destroy) the ancient artifact. While the Antikythera Mechanism was once used to mark important local events, such as XM Anomalies and the Olympics, the Kythera Mechanism enables its user to tune into and observe the resonant frequency of alternate realities.
However, K’s simple act of “changing the channel” or their very act of watching seems to have affected the observed reality. The greater the amount of their “watching,” the greater K’s influence on the observed reality takes place.
Put another way, K has let Schrödinger’s cat out of the bag. All Agents can now observe the effects of this change by accessing Niantic Social (Campfire) in the Ingress Scanner app.
Share your investigation results by sharing photos, videos, footage, and situation reports with NIA and other XM Sensitives on social media with hashtags #Ingress #Kythera or the Ingress Community Forum for research archives.
As always, please remember to be aware of your surroundings. We encourage players to follow local health and safety guidelines when playing Ingress (such as wearing masks and maintaining at least six feet/two meters of distance from other people).
