A leaked
Hulong Transglobal document reveals that operators within
IQTech Research may be conspiring to close the chapter for good on the ill-fortuned Niantic Project facility in Geneva.
Following then NIA Director Yuen Ni's directive to
terminate the project, which was responsible for much of the XM technology currently in existence, including the
Ingress XM scanner device, a covert 'cleanup' organization called
Hazdata was dispatched, and over the
course of a day, the Niantic Project was converted into a shell of its former self.
Following these series of events, the NIA and Hazdata have forcibly retained control of Niantic's data archives and equipment, as well as three XM scientists who were part of the project, Drs.
Nagassa,
Lightman and
Schubert.
After a thorough 'offboarding' Hazdata released investigators
Carrie Campbell and
Enoch Dalby, considering their 'soft research' to be of little value. Can't help but think they are regretting that decision right now, and it may explain why focus is shifting back to Niantic, back to three XM researchers whose talents and knowledge the power-hungry have yet to exploit.
My question for the day: (a passcode reward to all those who contribute to a meaningful discussion)
Today's document sheds more light on the inner workings of IQTech, a company we've seen in glimpses but never enough to get a real understanding of what must be a complex internal political dynamic. What is your opinion of them? If we were to simplify, would you consider them good or evil, beneficial or harmful to the greater good?
