Coda of Nemesis Sequence

Niantic › admin
Truthseekers: The NIA intercepted a transmission of the tuning of the Tessellation. I believe some of you may already have seen it.
This is a great milestone we have crossed in the protection of our world. But, at the same time, I find myself wondering, where do we go from here? And are there things we may have overlooked?
But, before we move forward, we should probably take a second to look back at how we got here. And to understand that… we have to understand the Tessellation.
As we understand it, the Tessellation is a membrane that regulates the degree to which Exogenous entities can influence our world. In the final months of our battle with Nemesis, we learned that they come from another Earth, where their Tessellation had been shattered. And, seeing the devastation left in the wake of the Exogenous invasion of their world, it quickly became clear just how important that membrane could be.
In the end, only our Magnus - the Niantic Project Researchers - could tune the Tessellation, to set the tone for our world’s relationship with the Exogenous moving forward. And, well, this intercept the NIA has received shows us the results of their actions. They reconfigured the Tessellation such that the Exogenous cannot gain ingress into our world, and can no longer even influence us through XM. Now, for perhaps the first time in human history, Exotic Matter is safe for humans to harness and study, without fear of being influenced by would-be extradimensional invaders. Is XM still dangerous in the wrong hands? Sure. Are there forces out there, in the government and the private sector, that would corrupt the power of XM to their own nefarious ends? Absolutely. But at least now, we’re dealing with XM on our terms. If, after all of this, XM still ends up being the instrument of our destruction… well, then we’ll have only ourselves to blame. But I don’t think that’s how it’s gonna go. For all its dangers, XM also has within it the potential to change the world for the better. And I know you Agents out there are committed to seeing it leveraged for the good. There’s still a lot of work ahead of us. But for now, I think we can afford to take a moment to celebrate our world’s victory here today.
Some of you have inquired after the condition of the Researchers. Well, I have been in contact with them, and they wanted me to convey that they are all in one piece. But there was a cost to tuning the Tessellation. The Researchers have lost their sensitivity to XM altogether. On the flip side, they’re all - each and every one - flesh and blood humans again… even Hank and Lightman, who straight up died years ago. So, as one door shuts to them, another one opens. Back from exile. Back to life, in some cases. For some, maybe even a chance at leading a normal life, if that’s something they even want. On a personal note, I count many of the Researchers as my friends, and I for one cannot wait to see until I can see them face to face again. You know, whenever it becomes safe to do so.
Digging a little deeper into the intercepted video… I’m told by the Researchers that what we’re looking at is an interface built by Stein Lightman and Oliver Lynton-Wolfe to facilitate the tuning of the Tessellation. I’ll be honest with you, I’m a hacker. I’m known for it. But it’s gonna take me a while to fully grock what they built here. But I did notice that, right around the time the Obsidian Arrowhead was activated, the names of the Portals where the Tesserae were found were uploaded into the system, as were the names of you Agents who contributed to finding them.
I think it was recording our trajectory, the path we took to achieve the tuning. Based on research I’ve obtained from the 1218 Universe, our Tessellation journey is reminiscent of the one taken by the explorer Obsidius on that world. I also noticed a few other things that harken back to past Ingress Investigations… The word “Jörmungandr.” The Ouroboros. It makes me think that even though each Tessellation is designed to protect one particular world, they’re all somehow connected via a broader network. Our worlds are connected. Osiris, 1218, Nemesis… maybe others? Time will tell on that, I guess.
As usual, in a lot of ways, this transmission leaves us with more questions than answers.
Are we now truly safe from the Exogenous? Or could they find a way back? How soon will a Magnus be able to tune the Tessellation again, and could they reverse all of the gains we’ve made?
Have we truly seen the last of Nemesis? Is there anything else they conveniently forgot to tell us? And are our fates now permanently intertwined with theirs, now that we share the same Tessellation?
Will the Researchers ever be able to reactivate their sensitivity to XM? I’d bet you good money people like Roland Jarvis are gonna try.
ADA fell off the map so to speak at the end of this. Where did she go? What’s her next move?
How will the Factions change, in the light of the Exogenous being taken out of the mix?
And, there of course, is the eternal question: What is the Niantic Project… now that the mission of Magnus has been completed?
I don’t pretend to know the answers to these questions. But, I am - as ever - dedicated to unraveling these mysteries, Truthseekers. Thank you again or your part in this victory we’ve achieved. And stay tuned. This ain’t over yet.

Hey dear, don't be stupid! A criminal group calling itself "Nemesis" has stolen the best researchers from your world. Further, the members of this criminal group imprisoned our passionaries in a different dimension against their will, although they could come in peace and share their problem. And I would be more than sure to help them. Further, the members of the attacking group did not provide a single proof of the presence of exogenous beings in their world. There was not a single operational footage of an exogenous creature, there was not a single photograph depicting an exogenous creature, and there was not a single example of exogenous technology that they could provide as evidence. Blind faith is dangerous in this case! You believed the invaders who didn't even provide evidence of the threat! And you do not know what the true purpose of the membrane created in the process of tessellation is!
First of all, congratulations @Truthseeker for the Paragon medal. I assume no Knight badge due to you staying neutral?
Those last 10 months have been a wild ride. What first started with Calvin, Carrie and even you being taken over via RPE at the Abbadon Prime anomalies spread out to the whole world in a fight against a group from another universe.
So, the Tessellation has been reconfigured and the badges have gone out. Does that mean that the Tessellation "event" is now fully over?
Hello @Truthseeker , I wanted tell thank you for your time, thank you vanguards (mostly @Azhreia ) thank you enls for this great fight a nice medal just arrived!
Now the adventure, what next? I can wait to know it
Ha sido un largo camino, y todo indica que pronto sabremos mas de Nemesis, quiza ahora los patos hagan de escopetas, lo que si es cierto es que jamas sabremos cual es el verdadero proyecto niantic!
I'm glad to hear that Researchers are still alive! You know, Januslab suggested that footage early, and I was afraid...
I have more questions: What will happen to the Portal Network itself? It seems working well as before for now but might change the responses from the Network such as the Glyphs, Hack outputs, etc...
@Truthseeker please, don't tell me we let the Undine inside, while throwing the other exos out. Please, I want to know about this because if we have to fight together to repell an exo, the ENL side would become the RES part II.
@Truthseeker What did you think of when you learned that Tethered Hand was Wendy/ADA?
I'm looking forward to the next story and mystery solving! Thank you for the awesome medal!

Truthseekers：NIAはテッセレーションの調整についての通信を傍受した。
すでに見たことがある方もいると思う。
https://youtu.be/Kq-6Y62dw5U
これは、私たちが世界を脅威からまもり乗り越えた素晴らしいマイルストーンです。
同時に、私達はここからどこに行くのだろうか？何かを見落としている可能性ないか？
しかし、これから先に進む前に、ここたどり着いた方法について少し振り返る時間は必要です。
そして、それを紐解き理解するにはテッセレーションを理解する必要があります。
私たちが理解しているように、
テッセレーションは、外因性の存在が
私たちの世界に影響を与えることができる泡や膜のようなものです。
ネメシスとの戦いの最後の数ヶ月で、彼らはテッセレーションが砕かれた別の地球から来ていることを学んだ。
そして、彼らの世界の外に生じたような干渉の結果、荒廃し残された様子を見て、
膜がどれほど重要である事がすぐに明らかになった。
結局、マグナス（ナイアンティックプロジェクトの研究者）だけがテッセレーションを調整して、外界との関係を深めるための世界を確立することができた。
そして、NIAが受け取ったこの傍受は彼らの行動の結果を私たちに示しています。
彼らはテッセレーションを再構成し、エクソジェナスという存在が私たちの世界への進入ができず、XMを介して私たちに影響を与えることもできなくなりました。
今、おそらく人類史上初めて、エキゾチックマターは、異次元の侵略者に影響されることを恐れずに、人間が安全に利用および研究できるようになりました。
XMはまだ間違った手段で危険か？
政府と民間部門で、自分たちの悪質な目的にXMの力で破壊するような力はありますか？
もちろんだ。
少なくとも今は、私たちの制約の中でXMを扱っている。
これがすべて終わっても、XMが破壊の道具になってしまうなら…
まあ、私たちだけに責任がある。
しかし、私はそれがどのようか結果になるのか考えていない。
そのすべての危険性だけはなく、
XMはその中に世界をより良く変える可能性も秘めている。
そして、私はそこにいるあなたやエージェントがそれが有益な目的のために活用されるの事に真摯に関わっていることを知っています。
私たちの前にはまだ多くの仕事が残されています。
しかし、今はここで私たちの世界の勝利を祝うために少しの時間を持てる余裕があると思う。
何人かは研究者の状態について聞いてみた。私は彼らと連絡を取り合っており、彼らは私が、それらがすべて一体であると伝えてほしかった。
しかし、テッセレーションの調整には手間がかかった。
研究者たちはXMに対し深く感じ受け止める感覚を完全に失いました。
逆に、彼らはすべて一人一人。重ねて肉体と血を持った人間です。
数年前に死んだハンクとライトマンですら。
つまり、1つのドアが閉まると、別のドアが開きます。 逃亡から戻った、生活に戻ります。
場合により、普通の生活を送るチャンスでさえありる。
もし彼らが望むものでさえあれば…
個人的には、私は研究者の多くを同志と見ています。
私は、彼らが再び顔を合わせてる再開を待ちきれません。 そうなる事が安全な状態になるとあなたは知っています。
傍受されたビデオの件をもう少し話そう…
私たちが調べているのは、テッセレーションの調整を容易にするためにスタインライトマンとオリバーリントンウルフによって構築されたインターフェースであると研究者から聞かされました。
あなたに隠し事なく話そう。私はハッカーです。 私はそれで知られています。
彼らがここで構築したものを完全に理解するには、まだしばらく時間がかかる。
しかし、私はオブシディアンアローヘッドがアクティブ化されたときに、テッセラが見つかったポータルの名前と、それらの検索に貢献したエージェントの名前がシステムにアップロードされていることに気付いた。
私たちの軌跡、つまり調整を達成するためにたどった経過を記録していたと思う。
私が1218ユニバースから知り得た研究内容に基づくと、私たちのテッセレーションの旅は、探査家オブシディウスがその世界で行ったものを思い出させます。
また、過去のイングレス調査に関連する他のいくつかのことに気づきました…
「ヨルムンガンドル」という言葉。 ウロボロス。
各テッセレーションは1つの特定の世界を護るように設計されていますが、すべてが何らかの形でより広範なネットワークを介して接続されていると思います。
私たちの世界はつながっています。
オシリス、1218、ネメシス…多分他にも…？
時が経つ事が教えてくれると思います。
この通信はいつものように、多くの方法で、私たちに答えよりも多くの謎を残します。
エクソジェナスは本当に安全ですか？
もしくは、彼らが戻る方法を見つけることができますか？
マグナスがテッセレーションを再び調整できるようになるとすればどれくらいの時間がかかりますか？
私たちは本当に最後のネメシスを見ましたか？
彼らが都合よく私たちに言うのを忘れた何かはありますか？
私たちの運命は彼らと永久にに絡み合っていますか？
同じテッセレーションを共有しているのですか？
研究者はXMに対する感受性を再び取り戻せますか？ 資金を持っているローランドジャービスのような人がやってみようとするだろう。
これの最後にはADAはこ地図から外れました。 彼女はどこへ行ったのか？
彼女は次に何をするのでしょう？
エクソジェナスがMixから覗かれると考えた場合、陣営ははどのように変わりますか？
そしてもちろん、そこには不変の謎があります。マグナスのミッションが完了したナイアンティックプロジェクトとは何ですか？
私はこれらの質問に対する答えを知っているような素振りをしません。
私はこれまでと同様、これらの謎を解明することに専念しています。
もう一度感謝を伝えたい、または私たちが辿り着いたこの勝利への貢献に感謝します。
そして、まだチャンネルを変えないでください。 まだ終わっていません。

In Courier Departure, Courier (1218 Hank Johnson) told us that the Undine have no interest in leaving the Fugue, so it's very unlikely that they are in our world.
All the information we had is from a Nemesis member, we don't know what they were allied in the first place. If they were aggresive against N'Zeer ahd the Shapers, that would explain the footage we've seen of them attacking the humans from their world. On top of that, the video detects inside the Tech-whatever, an unknown entity called Undine. Then, we see in the video:
Tecth-Undine ------ Identified ------ Ouroboros
Following the arrows, they may have been transferred into Ouroboros. On top of that, ADA dissapears from Wendy at the end of the video, so in the end, ADA may have taken advantage of OLW equation during the reconfiguration.
What I think is this was a bold move from GMs and perhaps they are going to try erode the lines between our factions, the exos banishment, leave us a plot full of holes that need to be explained. ENL needs a motive to fight because we lost it, the RES won and finished the lore of the game.
However, if Undine is here and they try to invade the world, the ENL would become res part II, and I don't want that. No more crossfaction events to repell exos, if they are banned from now, they are banned, forever.
I didnt get it, but i need medal
RES
💪💙💙💙
Go Go Resistance!!!!
RES
I’m resistance
You are too late. You can’t qualify now and the medals will not be re-pushed. I’m sorry, but you will not be getting either Paragon or Knight.
ENL
Ty!
ENL
So the Resistance won!
"They reconfigured the Tessellation such that the Exogenous cannot gain ingress into our world, and can no longer even influence us through XM. Now, for perhaps the first time in human history, Exotic Matter is safe for humans to harness and study, without fear of being influenced by would-be extradimensional invaders."
This goal was why I joined the Resistance 7 years ago.
Congratulations, agents!
Enl.
Thanks.
Congratulations @Truthseeker about medal paragon. Amazing.
Res
Shapers BTFO
Vive la Résistance ! 💙💙
All hail Resistance agents!!!!😎
Congratulations to all who, in some way or another, were able to join in with ideas or help during the Tessellation. The Tessellation was a unique opportunity where I and many more agents got help from those who weren't as much as participating in the investigation, and now got their eyes open and, because of that, will provide much needed help in our search for answers.
Aside from the threat from another node and our global restrictions, both factions made efforts to repel both crises and were successful.
In my personal opinion, I still believe that, sometime in the future we may need help from Nemesis node, we never know...
Without @Truthseeker's guidance and insights, I doubt we could steer through both of this crisis undamaged, yet we did.
Thank you @Truthseeker, we are as vigilant as ever, please fill us in with any information you receive, and we will as well.
Best regards to all agents that receive this message and stay safe out there, many more challenges await us!
To be honest, I was and still am very confused about the Tessellation event and thus sadly didn't participate in it, but it's still awesome to see the Ingress community get together and manage such a giant event. There is a lot of info I missed though, lots of reading to do.
As many others have already said, thanks @Truthseeker for aiding and guiding us through all the twists and turns during the last ten months. It was amazing to see the cooperation in my own faction, and I know the same collaboration had to happen in the other faction as well. We all look forward to what happens next, as well as the challenges we are going to encounter soon.
if you ever have questions you are more than welcome to ask any of us! Many of the Agents involved in the Investigation for a while try to help whenever we can. I try to check here fairly often, but the best way to reach out to me and get quicker answers (as well as with other Agents) is on Telegram app. Search for my agent name, ArkFang, and send me a message if you have any questions!
