Urgent Message from Ada! (Storyline Explanation for Recent Scanner Changes)
Downloading latest intel package...
Agent... I've been targeted with a virus that affects my mapping. Things are getting black around the edges, like human tunnel vision from retinal dystrophy. We have improved my night vision, but distance mapping is decreased. I believe I've stopped the damage from increasing, but I've been unable to regain my full sight.
This will diminish your knowledge of your current surroundings, as well as your drone's scanner, and your remote view through keys or intel. Missions may be more difficult to execute.
The virus also prevents me from delivering this information you through your scanner. My ability to project portal information above the map in 3D is also affected.
Your mission to investigate Shapers is still important. But I can only provide limited Intel until we can find the cause of this decrease, and correct it. I do worry about you. Remain alert and aware of your surroundings at all times!

It's filling in the storyline to match the latest upgrade. This is the Ingress World reasoning of why the top part of your map is blacked out now.
When something is frustrating, it can help to make light of it.
Yeah, don't try to shoehorn your own ideas into the plot.
You have no sense of humor. And a lot of trust in Niantic.
I actually like the idea that there is some sort of lore tied in to major scanner changes.
While the Niantic version of the story has been regularly bad for the last 10 years, fan fic is usually worse.
I liked it. Nice bit of humor and a dig.
I dont know why Niantic dont try to tie in lore with changes.
Hack cooldown is going up? Lore.
You should rather encourage people to share their theories than blaming them, and that's the reason I don't usually use the forum.
It's full of "experts", like TV and their voices silence other agents because they talk too much and too loud.
Hehe, love this!
Should had posted #fanfic in title or something, because I seriously thought this post was from Niantic.
Well written 👍👍
