Nemesis Links? Vesuvian Magnus, 1218 & Prime
I think NEMESIS were responsible for the destruction of the Vesuvian Magnus which possibly could have been the first successful synthetic Magnus prior to Niantic Magnus if they didn't suffer at the hands of Nemesis.
I believe NEMESIS intervened again by killing off Ken, Calvin and Phillips to stop any further development of RPE & Tecthulhu tech by Akira. The Precursors were sent to 1218 to gauge our XM tech development whether it had reached the breaking point.
The key tech we observe from Obsidius' journals is RPE. Putting the two together, I think RPE advancement in 1218 and Prime is a major threat to NEMESIS. And the starting point for RPE in the worlds we know is Niantic Project. RPE at the hands of Calvin could encroach into Nemesis domain and expose them.

Have we seen any evidence of Obsidius and Cybella in the Prime Universe? https://niantic.schlarp.com/obsidianexplorer
