Calvin vs Nemesis
Based on documents obtained from Amsterdam, I'm going to speculate that Calvin is sending simulacra via RPE to Nemesis' home world to destroy their capability to stop recursions in Prime or in any other Ingress universe.
Maybe it's precisely such capability that provoked Nemesis to act and destroy the Niantic simulacra in the first place?
Perhaps, Nemesis, for some reason, do not want Calvin, NIA or Niantic Project to obtain and leak the XM technology of utilizing simulacrum to conduct RPE in the Ingress Multiverse?
Are Nemesis doing a preemptive strike? And did they also **** 1218 Calvin, Owen and Philips for the same reason?
Calvin might need Hank's body to complete the Niantic Magnus to open the Anomalous Zone linking Prime and Nemesis world. Is Calvin sending Niantic simulacra (Hank?) through the gateway opened by the Niantic Magnus to dismantle Nemesis' anti-recursion tech? Is that the reason why Nemesis killed Hank?

Maybe 1218-Hank can (at least for a time) replace Prime-Hank to keep the Magnus stable?
My thoughts were similar. Assuming the possibility that Nemesis is a group of 13 individuals that exists only in one universe, I'm thinking what Nemesis is trying to do is destroy every Niantic Magnus so they can be the only functional Magnus (via rpe) on each version of Earth in the multiverse.
If however, there are multiple Nemesis iterations, then what we might be seeing is a dimensional war that might rival the Shapers and N'Zeer.
