Default Ingress   #1  
For anyone who doesn't know what Ingress is, it's an augmented-reality game for Android and iOS.

During the supercollider experiments to find the Higgs boson, scientists unknowingly created a form of exotic matter ("XM"). This XM is like an intelligent form of data, spreading through the world, multiplying around sources of data transmission like active cell phones.

Landmarks, artwork, historical locations, and more have become XM portals, and you can see these portals using a scanner that you can load onto your phone. (The scanner is, in fact, the game software itself.)

A group calling itself The Enlightenment seeks to gather as much XM as possible, believing it to be the key to unlocking the next phase of human evolution.

Another group calling itself The Resistance believes that The Enlightenment's actions are dangerous, believing that their use of XM will enslave the human race. As such, it seeks to contain the XM to protect people.

Tomorrow, Saturday March 28th, an event called the Shonin Anomaly is taking place in Pasadena, CA. People from all over the country are going to gather to fight over control of the portals in order to capture special shards.

Are there any other Ingress agents on Trisphee? Any who will be attending the Anomaly?
