Nemesis = Exogenous Entities?

"JOHNSON: But Misty claimed she interfaced with a complete EXOGENOUS INTELLIGENCE... not a PRECURSOR."

This conversation between Hank and Calvin happened after Owen's murder in 1218, during the EXO5 anomalies. Checking with Essex, we never really found out what the Exogenous Precursors, Entities or Intelligence were.

1218 PAC had this to say.

"And before the moment passes, let’s talk about the 'where' of it. Ken Owen’s body wasn’t dumped just anywhere, it was dumped at the exact place where Roland Jarvis and Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe settled their differences at the end of Cassandra.

OLW lost and that led, on a long and winding path, to the situation we find ourselves now with the Tecthulhu and the emergence of the Exogenous. But that’s another discussion for another day."

Maybe with the three "deaths" of the Niantic Prime simulacra, i.e. Enoch, Carrie and Lightman, it's timely to restart that discussion on the emergence of the Exogenous, especially after what Calvin said in the latest Dunraven episode, "... the Osiris Stone could be used as a transmitter to invite beings not of this world." In this sense, the Osiris Stone behaves almost like the Helios Artifacts signalling to the N'zeer in 1218.

So, in 1218, was Owen killed at the spot where Oliver challenged Jarvis for supremacy (N'zeer vs Shapers?) in order to send a threat to the Niantic Project, NIA and other XM corporations that they cannot challenge the Exogenous Entities, the Exos who sent or activated the Precursors? There were five bullet holes on Owen's dead body. Does the number relate to EXO5 or it's just mere coincidence?

Owen was killed by a professional assassin whose skills and knowledge were augmented directly in his brain by an AI. PAC had a list of suspects and I agree with him. A mind hacked 855 assisted by ADA or Omnivore would be an obvious candidate. As for the reason, PAC alluded to 1331s which I thought then were housing Exogenous tech or entities. As we already know, Owen's death was swiftly followed by Calvin, the shadowy figure behind the Niantic Project, and Philips, the then director of NIA. Who would have been next? The Niantic researchers and sensitives?

These questions bring us back to the apparent "deaths" of the Niantic simulacra in Prime. They were "taken out" by a mysterious group who call themselves Nemesis. They might have even recruited agents to their cause via Nemesis missions during the Abaddon Prime anomalies in Taiwan and Netherlands.

If we compare their "deaths by non-recursion" with the assassinations of Owen, Calvin and Philips in 1218, we might see a similar reason for their removal from Prime. The Niantic Project in Prime challenges Nemesis' interest in that universe whereas NIA tried to usurp power and technology from the Exogenous Entities, if the decoding of Owen's death is accurate.


This leads me to a crazy speculation, are Nemesis the same Exogenous Entities who ordered the murders in 1218? Did they control 855 just as they controlled Carrie, and PAC?

Are Nemesis trying to destroy the Niantic Magnus created by Calvin because he is acting like "an Oliver" trying to usurp power that Nemesis think is theirs, the control and access of the XM multiverse?
