>> Original message 2023-03-29 >
TS-1218 is the version of events Agents investigated from 2012—2018. TS-OSIRIS is the version of events accessed via the Ingress Prime Scanner. What we’re experiencing now, following the aftermath of the Epiphany Dawn Anomaly Series and Machina’s ingression, is something altogether different.
This isn’t mass hallucination or a false memory, like the Mandela Effect/Kureze Effect. We’re firmly planted in a new and alternate reality, codenamed TS-RUBICON. (The Rubicon is a shallow river in northeast Italy, and was the decisive point that no army was meant to cross without permission of the Roman Senate. Its name is a reference to the ruddy color of the soil on its banks.)
The Niantic Project at CERN was not the first time a sculptor, a quantum biologist, a reality TV show host, a club DJ, a linguist, and 8 others had met. This random gathering of people wasn’t random at all. In TS-RUBICON, Agents are investigating how these 13 people would eventually come together to set a plan in motion that would ultimately lead to an exploded Hypercube and XM Scanner technology leaking to the general public.
The Resistance victory of the MZFPK HexQuest successfully influenced Jarvis to travel to the largest railway station in Switzerland. In Echo, Agents continue to interpret Tycho’s visions of the past, present, and future to influence his path. An Enlightened victory has Jarvis seeking Carrie Campbell. A Resistance victory has him seeking Devra Bogdanovich. Der Würfel ist nicht gefallen.
NIA has detected anomalous readings that indicate a 3-Phase Echo Anomaly Series:
Phase 1: 22 Apr 2023
- Primary Site: Jacksonville, FL, USA
- Satellite Site: Baguio City, Philippines
- Satellite Site: Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
Phase 2: 20 May 2023
- Primary Site: Brisbane, Australia
- Satellite Site: Montevideo, Uruguay
- Satellite Site: Brighton, UK
Phase 3: 17 Jun 2023
- Primary Site: Athens, Greece
- Satellite Site: Winnipeg, Canada
- Satellite Site: Ueda, Nagano, Japan
Echo Anomaly Series Scoring
The Faction winning more scoring points from the 9 Anomaly sites will capture the Echo Anomaly.
Each Primary Site will be worth a total of 600 scoring points:
- 300 scoring points from Anomaly Zone Battle Beacons
- 300 scoring points from Anomaly Zone Flash Shards
Each Satellite Site will be worth a total of 200 scoring points:
- 100 scoring points from Anomaly Zone Battle Beacons
- 100 scoring points from Anomaly Zone Flash Shards
NIA Procedure for Anomaly Zone Battle Beacons
The 3-hour period from 14:00 to 17:00 local time will be divided into 7 waves of Rare Battle Beacons across the Anomaly Zone. Please note that these times are approximate and may vary slightly:
- Battle Beacon Wave 1 - 14:00-14:25
- Battle Beacon W2 - 14:25-14:50
- Battle Beacon W3 - 14:50-15:15
- Battle Beacon W4 - 15:15-15:40
- Battle Beacon W5 - 15:40-16:05
- Battle Beacon W6 - 16:05-16:30
- Battle Beacon W7 - 16:30-16:55
Rare Battle Beacons will be deployed by NIASection14. A subset of Anomaly Zone Portals will be activated as Volatile Portals that are high-value targets worth 3X more points.
Anomaly Zone Portals will be ornamented before and during the Anomaly.
Each non-Volatile Battle Beacon is with a total of 2+3+4=9 Points and is not affected by Category Score. For example, if the Enlightened capture Checkpoint 1 and the Resistance capture Checkpoints 2 and 3 of a non-Volatile Battle Beacon, then ENL 2, RES 7.
Each Volatile Battle Beacon is with a total of 6+9+12=27 Points and is not affected by Category Score. For example, if the Enlightened capture Checkpoint 1 and the Resistance capture Checkpoints 2 and 3 of a Volatile Battle Beacon, then ENL 6, RES 21.
The final raw score for each Faction will be its maximum score from any of the Beacon Battle Waves during the Anomaly Period. 100 or 300 scoring points will be distributed proportionally between the Factions, depending on their final raw score.
As an example, at an Anomaly where the 7 Beacon Battle Waves returned the following:
| Wave Number | Enlightened | Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Wave 1 | ENL: 250 | RES: 200 |
| Wave 2 | ENL: 315 | RES: 100 |
| Wave 3 | ENL: 100 | RES: 250 |
| Wave 4 | ENL: 100 | RES: 300 |
| Wave 5 | ENL: 250 | RES: 200 |
| Wave 6 | ENL: 300 | RES: 100 |
| Wave 7 | ENL: 100 | RES: 350 |
In this example, the maximum Enlightened score of 315 Points would be paired against the maximum Resistance score of 350 Points.
The final score pairing would then be ENL: 315 to RES: 350, and for a Satellite site the 100 scoring points distributed to the two Factions would be 47 to the Enlightened and 53 to the Resistance, while for a Primary site the 300 scoring points distributed to the two Factions would be 142 to the Enlightened and 158 to the Resistance.
NIA Procedure for Anomaly Zone Flash Shards
There will be 20 Shards at each Satellite site and 60 Shards at each Primary site. Securing a Shard on your Faction’s Target Portal earns 5 scoring points per Shard.
The first five (5) Shards secured on a Faction’s Target Portal will score 5 scoring points per Shard (max 25 scoring points per Target Portal) for that Faction, regardless of which Faction controlled that Target Portal at the time of the Shard landing. Any additional Shards after the fifth Shard on a given Target Portal are scored at 0 scoring points.
- At Primary sites, Shards will materialize in batches of 12 while Target Portals will materialize in batches of 3 per Faction.
- At Satellite sites, Shards will materialize in batches of 4 while Target Portals will materialize in batches of 1 per Faction.
Shards and Target Portals will be scheduled as follows (local time):
- At 14:04, A number of Shards will materialize (Shard Batch 1)
- Starting at 14:08, all Shards will begin traveling along eligible Links approximately every 10 minutes. Note: there may be 1 extra Shard Movement inserted by the winning Faction of Stealth Ops
- At 14:12, ENL Target Portals and RES Target Portals will materialize (Target Batch 1)
- At 14:39, A number of Shards will materialize (Shard Batch 2)
- At 14:52, ENL Target Portals and RES Target Portals will materialize (Target Batch 2)
- At 15:19, A number of Shards will materialize (Shard Batch 3)
- At 15:32, ENL Target Portals and RES Target Portals will materialize (Target Batch 3)
- At 15:54, A number of Shards will materialize (Shard Batch 4)
- At 16:12, ENL Target Portals and RES Target Portals will materialize (Target Batch 4)
- At 16:29, A number of Shards will materialize (Shard Batch 5)
- The last Shard Movement will occur at approximately 16:58
- All Shards and Target Portals will dematerialize around 18:00
Flash Shard Behavior Pattern
- Shards will look like this:
- Enlightened Target Portals will look like this:
- Resistance Target Portals will look like this:
- Both Shards and Target Portals will only materialize on identified Anomaly Zone Portals; however, Shards can travel along Links to any Portal.
- All Portals across the Anomaly Zone will be active for Shards throughout the Anomaly window. For each Target spawn, the Targets may be anywhere in the Anomaly Zone. Likewise, for each Shard spawn, the Shards may spawn anywhere in the Anomaly Zone.
- Shards will only travel along Links connecting two Portals of L4 or higher.
- If multiple viable Links exist, a Shard may travel on any one of those Links. If multiple Shards are present on a Portal, they may each travel along different Links.
Shards will not return or backtrack to a Portal they were previously located on within the past 25 minutes. - In the event that a Shard has not traveled along any Link within the past 25 minutes, it may randomly teleport to a nearby Portal at the next Movement Window.
- Shards will stop traveling and will remain locked once they reach a Target Portal, regardless of any change in Faction ownership of the Target Portal.
- If a Shard movement is found to have been the result of actions by a rogue Agent, NIA Ops may return the Shard to a previous location.
Echo Anomaly Series medal
Any Agent who has interacted with 5 or more NIASection14-deployed Battle Beacons in any Phase will earn the in-app Echo medal. Agents are considered interacting with a Battle Beacon if they:
- Deploy or Upgrade Resonator (note: upgrading your own Resonators does not count)
- Attack or Destroy Resonator
- Destroy Portal Mod
- Destroy Link
- Recharge Resonator (note: this includes Remote Recharge)
This medal will be awarded after an Agent has reached 5 qualifying Battle Beacon interactions. Agents who have already earned the in-app Echo medal in an earlier event phase will not receive a second Echo medal.
An Echo Agent Stat will be added to your Agent Profile for the duration of the Echo Anomaly Series to help you monitor your individual progress.
Linking under Fields
Links shorter than 8km in length can be created under Fields during the following periods:
- from Friday, 21 Apr 2023 1700 UTC to Monday, 24 Apr 2023 1700 UTC
