It all started back with Misty Hannah at the Magic Castle. I was there when Misty handed Klue a set of cards with some scrawled shapes upon them. Although I didn't realize it at the time, the world had changed. A new power, something ancient and potent and deeply desirable to some had come to the surface.

Tomorrow, the factions meet in Portland. Klue has placed herself at the center of their conflict, her alignment a small price to pay in the greater shifts of power.

As she and all the other Ingress Agents prepare to head into the field tomorrow, she left a note on her Google + page: "No matter what happens, it is essential that the corporations: Hulong Transglobal, IQTech Research and Visur Technology not gain control of the Glyphs."

Perhaps that's the war we've been fighting all along...

Felicia Hajra-Lee's novel The Niantic Project: Ingress is available on Google Play and in the Amazon e-book store.
