WEEK OF 10.29.2018
** IN PROGESS **
NIA (intel agency -- went dark in the 40s) created the Niantic Project to study XM (Exotic Matter) and built a Scanner that leaked and is now disguised as 'Ingress.' Ingress is not a game! Two people died due to a research accident (Epiphany Night)! XM is all around us, affecting our entire civilization, and the NIA is covering the whole thing up! The deaths, the leak, everything. Must dig deeper. And what the hell is Dunraven. Related? Who's behind it? Who is the candidate?

Narrative Management

You familiar with the term 'Spin Doctor?'

Well, the NIA has elevated it to a whole new art form. They call it 'Narrative Management' and Kendra Owens (long time political operative) is their razor-sharp weapon.

Remember Epiphany Night? AKA the Niantic Calamity? It had consequences. Congressional subcommittee kinds of consequences. Ordinarily, that kind of scrutiny would paralyze a project, especially one as dark and dangerous as Niantic.

But not when Kendra Owens and Zeke Calvin have their way. Any obstacle that appears before them, they glide over like its a gentle gust of air.

These are seasoned operators. And we need to understand their methods if we're going to stop them. So read between the lines. Ask yourself: How did the puppetmasters pull the strings we can't see here?

CHAIRWOMAN
The chair now recognizes Kendra Owens of the NIA. Ms.Owens. We've called you to testify before this committee to address an explosion at a black budget research lab in Geneva. An event that is being referred to as the "Niantic Calamity."

OWENS
Thank you chairwoman. Let me push back for a moment. This event took place at CERN in a commonly used research facility. And also, the NIA's operational budget is irrelevant to this proceeding.

CHAIRWOMAN
Noted. Please proceed.

OWENS
XXXXXXXXXX there was categorically no explosion at the facility. What's more, I would argue fervently against characterizing the events of that night as a "calamity." In actual fact, the event in question represented such a boon for our research that internally the NIA has been referring to it as "Epiphany Night."

XXXXXXXXXX Dr. Oliver Lynton Wolfe, while testing an experimental object of his own design called a Power Cube, unleashed (handwriting: WHAT DID OLW PLAN FOR ON EN?) an unprecedented amount of a quantum substance known an Exotic Matter throughout the facility. XXXXXXXXXX no deaths or injuries at the Niantic facility, XXXXXXXXXX

SCS
Ms. Owens what is or was the exact nature of this project?

OWENS
XXXXXXXXXX a longitudinal research study to determine the threats and opportunities inherent in Exotic Matter. Exotic Matter, also known as XM, is a subatomic energy that is believed to have the power to shape human thought, XXXXXXXXXX. XXXXXXXXXX evidence suggests that it has been influencing human society for the whole of recorded history. (handwriting: !!)
(handwriting pointing 2 highlighted lines: What does U know about XM's true potential?)
(handwriting outside the section: What evidence? Where is it kept?)

It is now known that XM filters into our universe via a number of sites scattered across the globe that the NIA has internally been referring to as 'XM Portals.' And thanks to the Ingress Scanner, a recent innovation by the Niantic Project's own Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, we are finally in a position to detect and interact with said Portals.

(handwriting on each blank: ?)
XXXXXXXXXX strategic implications of XM warrant the greatest possible attention. XXXXXXXXXX vital national interest not to fall behind in this area of research. (handwriting: --COP OUT)
(handwriting outside the section: ASK A.)

CHAIRWOMAN
You said the project resulted in no deaths at the Niantic facility. What about the incident at the Zurich train station?

OWENS
The deaths in question were a tragic accident. No question about it. The two deceased were Roland Jarvis and a Jane Doe. (handwriting on this blank: * JARVIS LEFT N WITH DEVRA. WHO IS JANE DOE? WHERE IS DEVRA?) XXXXXXXXXX gunshots wounds inflicted by NIA security operatives XXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXXX. XXXXXXXXXX categorically denies that this incident had anything to do with the Power Cube test XXXXXXXXXX does not fall under the purview of this committee. XXXXXXXXXX

CHAIRWOMAN
Noted. To the matter at hand. You are claiming that exposure to extremely high doses of XM is not in any way dangerous?

OWENS
In our experience, the contrary. During Epiphany Night, exposure to XM from Lynton-Wolfe's Power Cube caused our researchers to excel.Their physical, mental and creative acuity was off the charts. (handwriting outside the section: ADMISSION THAT XM CHANGES PROPERTIES!)

CHAIRWOMAN
Ihave here a classified report about 'Dark XM?'

OWENS
The hazardous properties of Dark XM are well documented. I can assure this committee that the NIA is not engaged in Dark XM research.

CHAIRWOMAN
I've been made aware that the Ingress Scanner technology created at Niantic leaked and is now accessible to the public? This is a matter of grave concern, both as a security risk and as to the potential for public endangement. Can you clarify how this happened?

56

OWENS
That is not true. The Scanner did not leak. Once it was determined that XM represented absolutely no danger to the public at large, we arranged for the XM Scanner to be released, contained within a mobile game called Ingress. (handwriting pointing this line: COVER UP?) XXXXXXXXXX (handwriting on this blank: NIANTIC DISGUISES MAJOR LEAK AS PLANNED RELEASE? WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LEAK?) Ingress has enabled us to crowdsourse XXXXXXXXXX without compromising the secretive nature of the project. The strategic value of this volume of data collection out weighs the potential security risks.

SCS
Ms. Owens, you're a fast talker but it's pretty damn clear

CHAIRWOMAN
Please let Ms. Owens finish.

SCS
you are trying to pull wool over our eyes...
(handwriting pointing 'SCS': OUTBURST.V)

CHAIRWOMAN
Let har finish, please. Ms. Owens you may continue.

OWENS
XXXXXXXXXX our decisions were prudent given the circumstances. XXXXXXXXXX a new form of energy all around the planet that has the ability to influence human thought. Do you really want to be on the backfoot when somebody else figures out how to use it? There are threats here. And there are opportunities. (handwriting pointing this line: NO FOLLOW UP FROM CHAIRWOMAN?) The best thing this committee can do is support our vital work. Unquestioningly.
