As a side-effect of unsafe Remote Participation Experiences, parts of Nemesis Node intersected and fused with another world. Myriad found that certain fundamental truths, about herself and the world she lived it, were changed in an instant. And, somehow, Myriad remembered the world as it currently was and as it had once been. Before Region D. Before Darsana. Before the N'zeer came.

On Nemesis Node, Aurora was subjected to mandatory cybernetic augmentation within the N'zeer's Darsana Combine. After they attained all possible knowledge by crossing the Darsana Point, the playful acquisition of knowledge - AKA gaming - was rendered obsolete. Aurora rejected the program, disengaged from the collective, and rejoined his Magnus.

Aurora revealed their plan to destroy the Glyphs and remove them from the Ingress Scanner. Aurora explained that Glyphs are the biological interface for exogenous instructions, and must therefore be eliminated.

EXTENDED INTEL

Aurora announces their Glyph Sentence Challenge, and claims that the mysterious Nemesis Runes were designed to protect people from Exogenous influence. Aurora says the Agents are playing a dangerous game, and hopes they choose to play on the right side. But what is the right side?

EXTENDED INTEL

To distract agents from the Aurora Glyph Sentence Challenge, Aurora exposes Agents to Nemesis Runes. But what is the true nature of the Nemesis Runes, and how do they factor into the overall plans of Nemesis?

EXTENDED INTEL

Despite Agents' best efforts during Aurora's Glyph Sentence challenge, they ended up being unsuccessful. Aurora enjoyed the game, and tells Agents they may be unprepared for the dangers still to come. Will the Exogenous Glyphs the Agents failed to unlock ever be attainable by other means?

Avenir saw the Thought Farms of Cosecha Verde, and took it upon himself to free those the Shapers had imprisoned. As the former leader of the Enlightened on Nemesis Earth, Avenir felt more responsible than anyone for the success of the Shaper Invasion. But that also meant he felt the most betrayed by the Shapers, leading him to become the most bitter member of Nemesis, and the most extreme in his anti-exogenous views.

1218 Hank relayed that Avenir was traveling about the Portal network as Shards to extract material from non-sensitives that Nemesis could use to render everyone immune to XM effects. Hank called on Agents to help route the Shards of Avenir to capture Portals to take them off the board. If successful, might there be a way to communicate with the captured Avenir?

EXTENDED INTEL

Thanks to the efforts of Agents in the Shards of Avenir event, Avenir is captured, in shard form. Further, the NIA has shut down Scanner Redacted to prevent Nemesis from using it to travel through the Portal Network as shards. But will Nemesis be able to infiltrate Prime Scanner too?

EXTENDED INTEL

When the Shapers invaded Nemesis Node and imprisoned Avenir, Helvetica stuck his neck out to set Avenir free. Helvetica and Avenir then became unlikely allies in the effort to prevent the Shapers from invading other Nodes. Eventually, Avenir would deem Helvetica's compassion a weakness, and banish him for his failings.

Umbra comes from a world where the Exogenous have solved the deepest mysteries of the universe. Umbra urges the Agents to not assail their barrier during the upcoming Umbra Anomaly; Aurora only wants to keep the mystery alive on Osiris Earth, by keeping the Exogenous out.

When the Hank Johnson of Nemesis Node died, Nemesis Magnus found themselves without an Explorer Archetype. To that end, they recruited an Explorer from another node: 1218 Hank Johnson. Hank, who was the director of the NIA at the time, carried on this relationship in secret, via clandestine meetings and communications. Nemesis had learned that a mysterious third species of Exogenous called the Undine were responsible for the creation of the Tessellation membranes, so Courier took it upon himself to investigate these ancient ones.

DECRYPTED MESSAGES

The following passage was decrypted:

"When we constructed the Tessellations, they were designed to protect you from all of the Ancient Ones. If the shields we built meant that even our influence would wane, a contingency was required; That contingency was the Magnus. Patterned after humans, but born of the Substrate. Simulacra."

Even more than most Sensitives, the Explorer Archetype finds itself drawn to manifestations of Exotic Matter. The power spots that we call Portals and the Prime Artifacts from the Exogenous Era cannot stay hidden from the Explorer for long.

In advance of Mission Day at Sea, Courier becomes the first member of Nemesis to unmask, turning out to be Hank Johnson from the 1218 Node. Courier explains that the Agents and Nemesis need to work together to solve the mystery of the Undine Silica, to keep the Osiris Node safe from Exogenous ingression.

EXTENDED INTEL

The media gathered throughout Mission Day At Sea formed an imagery of ripples surrounding the Undine Silica. This is perhaps what the hidden message, "vestige in the waters", from Courier Ultimatum was referring to. The ripples has evolved into new messages on during the Perpetua Hexathlon. The Undine Diagram evolved one last time after the Prime Artifacts are placed. --> [ thePadmaResurfaces ]

Many factors contributed to the shattering of Nemesis Node's Tessellation membrane which in turn allowed the Exogenous to ingress on their world, but the last straw was the energy released during the Power Cube explosion on Nemesis Node's Epiphany Night. As in many other nodes, their version of Oliver Lynton-Wolfe - now known better as Didact - was responsible for the ill-fated test at the Niantic Project that led to the explosion.

Didact alerted the Osiris Agents that Nemesis's next plan was to eliminate XM fields, to limit their use as implements of Exogenous control. Nemesis urged Agents to destroy as many fields as possible, and they increased the rate of certain metrics to help facilitate this. According to Didact, failure to do so would bring the Exogenous one step closer to Ingression.

EXTENDED INTEL

Didact alerted Osiris Agents that they would soon be made privy to the full story of Nemesis Node. He hoped that, in possession of all of the information, they would finally understand that Nemesis was not their enemy. He warned that failure to work with Nemesis would see their world destroyed.

During the first peace summit meeting, Nemesis shared more details about the Exogenous invasion of their world, and explained that certain reckless actions taken by the Osiris Magnus had contributed to it. Osiris Magnus requested help in ending their exile, but Nemesis said their hands were tied at the moment on that front. Nemesis further explained that each node has a world song called the Resonance; the Tesserae unlock the tones for this symphony, which are key to tuning the Tessellation. Osiris Magnus was not entirely sold yet on filtering out Exogenous influence entirely, resulting in some extant tension between the two sides.

After the Shapers invaded Nemesis Node, Lexicon was captured and experimented on in Cosecha Verde.

Schubert, Nagassa and Carrie accused Lexicon of hiding the true intentions of Nemesis: Namely, that they intended to steal the Tessellation Barrier around Osiris Earth to protect their own. Nagassa manifested memories from her counterpart Perpetua that it may be possible for the two worlds to share a single Tessellation. Nemesis confirmed that failure to tune the Tessellation properly would result in an Exogenous invasion of Osiris Node.

Stein Lightman updated the Agents on the oscillating pattern that Perpetua recovered from the Anazktec valley of the dead. The mirrored oscillation represents a graph of light, and the standard configuration represents a graph of time. He and Carrie came to believe that the thirteen points on the oscillation corresponded to the Prime Artifact Equation that was necessary to tune the Tessellation.
