Carrie Campbell has long been known to have prophetic visions of the future triggered by XM exposure. On a page in her journal, Carrie predicted the destruction of Misty Hannah's Simulacrum at the hands of Nemesis, during a rehearsal for her magic show. The destruction of Misty's Simulacrum came to pass precisely as Carrie had predicted.

EXTENDED INTEL

On account of her penchant for teleportaling, Misty Hannah has always been the most difficult of the Niantic Project Researchers to track down. Didact was the only member of Nemesis capable of producing technology that could identify Misty's time, place and node of location. It was for this reason that Didact was tasked with destroying Misty's Simulacrum.

Once upon a time, Martin Schubert and Ezekiel Calvin made a wager: Schubert bet that Calvin could not prove the existence of Exogenous Entities. This wager led to the creation of the Niantic Project. And the Niantic Project on Nemesis Node led that world to ruin. Lucida destroyed the Simulacrum of Osiris - Schubert for his role in the creation of the Project, and to prevent him from engaging in further research that could faciltitate the same catastrophes that had befallen Nemesis Node.

EXTENDED INTEL

Schubert responds to a recent message from Helvetica. Helvetica had urged Agents not to participate in the September Field Test event, so Schubert urges Agents to do the opposite; To collect as many Prime Artifacts as they can, to keep them out of Helvetica's hands. Will Agents be able to collect enough Artifacts in time?

Stein Lightman discovered that a spectrum of colors was the key to decoding the Nemesis Runes. But before he could complete his research, his Simulacrum was destroyed and reduced to Shards by Nemesis. Does this spectrum have yet further importance to Nemesis?

EXTENDED INTEL

Stein Lightman's Remote Participation research enabled people to travel from one world in the multiverse to another. Nemesis believed that this discovery started a chain-reaction which caused an irreparable cross-contamination between worlds. To prevent further abuses, Myriad destroyed Lightman's Simulacrum.

Victoria Kureze distinguished herself as the Niantic Project's foremost proponent of the multiple universe theory. These beliefs were vindicated when Osiris Node researchers proved the existence of 1218 Node beyond a shadow of a doubt. This acknowledgment of worlds beyond her own would prove to be vital not only to understanding the origins of the Exogenous, but also to understanding their counterparts from Nemesis Node.

When P.A. Chapeau from the 1218 Node managed to send a transmision to Osiris Node, Osiris Victoria Kureze had her supsicions of a multiverse confirmed. Kureze uncovered another video from 1218 PAC: An expose on Project Whydah. Whydah was the secret NIA XM-research project that immediately pre-dated the Niantic Project. It was at Whydah that Kureze first met Ezekiel Calvin, Hank Johnson, Yuri Nagassa and Misty Hannah.

After Epiphany Night, Victoria Kureze was one of only a handful of researchers who stayed on at the Niantic Project. Eventually, a member of Nemesis infiltrated the Niantic Project facility, made their way down to the Level 8 Sublevel, and destroyed Kureze's Simulacrum.

EXTENDED INTEL

Victoria Kureze contributed greatly to the discovery of the Portal Network. This discovery, and the research that followed, led directly to the Exogenous invasion of the Nemesis node. To prevent more such abuses, Umbra destroyed Victoria's Simulacrum and reduced her to Shards.

Victoria Kureze reveals that forming long links during Anomalous Periods can destabilize Nemesis Barriers; That's how Agents destroyed the Myriad Barrier, and it's how they can destroy the Umbra Barrier during the upcoming Anomaly. She goes on to relay the most current intel on the Tessellation. It may hold clues to how to defeat Nemesis, and how the Researchers can return home.

ADA acquired the list of the 196 Portals associated with the Tessellation, and began building Dunraven Chambers on those sites, in an attempt to control them. Eventually, ADA found a way to quantum-entangle each of the chambers, so it would be one shared space, accessible via all Dunraven Chamber entrances.

In February of 2019, an unknown individual left an evelope for Wendy containing a mysterious microcrip, with instructions to plant the chip in the Dunraven chamber. Months later, Devra Bogdanovich - feeling guilty for her role in Dunraven's creation - tried to locate the chip to use it to shut Dunraven down. Whilst there, Nemesis gassed Devra, destroying her Simulacrum.

EXTENDED INTEL

It appears that ADA was, in fact, responsible for the release of the fatal gas that destroyed Devra Bogdanovich's Simulacrum in the Dunraven Chamber. That ADA did this on behalf of Nemesis is clear. ADA's protestations that she was not to blame for Devra's death may indicate that Nemesis had somehow manipulated her into releasing the gas, but the truth of that remains unknown at this time.

Osiris Node Hank Johnson traveled to Chicago to meet with Ezekiel Calvin at the Abaddon Prime Anomaly. There, Calvin told Hank all he knew about Nemesis, and his plans to bring together the Niantic Project Magnus to stop them. Hank gave Calvin a Recursion coin, to facilitate Calvin retrieving Hank's physical body from the Peshwar Anomalous Zone in Afghanistan. Before Hank could leave Chicago, his simulacrum was destroyed in a hit and run accident when a Nemesis operative RPE'd into an unsuspecting driver.

Osiris Hank Johnson tells Agents that Alexander the Great's Enlightened Magnus may have collected more Prime Artifacts than was previously thought. Of particular interest is the Undine Silica, which is connected to the third known Exogenous species, The Undine, that once resided in the Lost City of Atlantis during the Exogenous Era. Hank suspects that Nemesis is trying to amass Prime Artifacts, and that this has something to do with the Tessellation.

The accident that killed Stein Lightman during Project Waratah also caused him to recurse as a Simulacrum. When Calvin liberated Oliver Lynton-Wolfe from Hulong so he could join the Niantic Project, he asked Oliver to obtain a ring belonging to Sarah. Calvin further revealed that he had foreseen the Niantic Project Researchers' brutal murders at the hands of Nemesis, and that the only way to prevent these deaths was to make the victims immortal.

In mid 2019, Ezekiel Calvin released his personal log number 1331, to alert the Agents of Osiris Node to the threat that Nemesis posed, and to instruct them to combat Nemesis at the Myriad Anomaly. At the end of this log, Calvin's death at the hands of Nemesis - which he foresaw many years earlier - finally came to pass.

EXTENDED INTEL

Actions of the Niantic Project researchers on the Osiris Node had unintended consequences for Nemesis Node, and Nemesis held Osiris Ezekiel Calvin responsible. But destroying Calvin's Simulacrum would be no easy task; After all, he knew they were coming, and was prepared. It required a coordinated effort by multiple Nemesis members - overseen by Optima - to gain access to the secure NIA black site where Calvin had holed up, but in the end, Nemesis was victorious.

EXTENDED INTEL

At long last, Ezekiel Calvin revealed his secret reasons for creating the Niantic Project Magnus. Years ago, during Project Waratah, he had seen a vision of the future through the Darsana Lenses: the deaths of the individuals who would make up his future Magnus. Calvin explained that secretly turning the Researchers into Simulacra was the only way he could think of to circumvent their untimely deaths.

May 2019, as an agent of Nemesis was bearing down on him, Oliver Lynton-Wolfe beat his enemies to the punch by destroying his own Simulacrum. He had had a vision which provided the insight needed to create a device allowing Simulacra to change themselves into shards at will, and he proceeded to do exactly that to himself. This technology was harvested by Nemesis, and would eventually be used by them to enable their members to travel the Portal Network as shards.

It was Umbra that Nemesis tasked with destroying Oliver Lynton-Wolfe of Osiris Node. Through Lynton-Wolfe's heedless XM experimentation, and his ceaseless innovation of XM constructs, Nemesis believed that the good doctor was - wittingly or otherwise - laying the groundwork for an eventual exogenous ingression into his world. This, they would put a stop to at all costs. Umbra failed in her mission, but only because Lynton-Wolfe destroyed himself first, out of spite.

EXTENDED INTEL

Oliver Lynton-Wolfe told the Osiris Agents about the deal that Calvin had struck with him; Calvin would extract Oliver from Hulong Transglobal and provide him gainful employment at the Niantic Project, if Oliver stole a ring from one of his Hulong colleagues and delivered it to Calvin. It wouldn't be until years later when he and Calvin were trapped in the Anomalous Bubble together that Calvin would explain why he wanted it.

Osiris Node Yuri Nagassa revealed to the the Agents that she had begun retrieving memories from her Nemesis counterpart. One of these memories were from a lecture about how Nemesis Yuri had used the Anazktec Stone to communicate with her tribal ancestors and learn the true nature of the the Prime Artifacts.

Helvetica utilized Remote Participation to travel to Osiris Node's Valley of the Dead to acquire that universe's Anazktec Stone. Helvetica wanted to keep it out of the hands of the Osiris Niantic Project Researchers, and to use it to summon copies of other Prime Artifacts from across the multiverse in the NIA Field Operation. Osiris - Yuri Nagassa was present at the time, blocking Helvetica's access to the stone. So Helvetica destroyed her Simulacrum.

OLW and Yuri Nagassa explained the Tessellation might be a membrane around the Osiris Universe, controling the flow of XM and Exogenous influence. Nagassa believed an insight into the Exogenous Era - the time when Exogenous walked the Earth - might grant a richer understanding of the Tessellation. OLW reported that the recently unmasked Helvetica was not Osiris - Schubert, but an identical-looking counterpart from Nemesis Node. Both Researchers posited the existence of the Niantic Project Researchers might be preordained in every world in the multiverse.
