Similarities with Nemesis and the Niantic Magnus
Recently Devra mentioned in her AMA that she believes that Nemesis is an enemy Magnus. That got me thinking.
There are 13 members of our magnus (the Niantic magnus). There are 13 members of Nemesis.
There are many other similarities to members of our magnus by members of Nemesis, and their architypes. Maybe they are a mirror image of our researchers, or possibly a simulacrum made of dark XM (i.e. an evil counterpart).
Myriad means "many", and who from the Niantic magnus has become "many"? ADA. She joined the multiverse in 1218 and presumably in Prime as well. Myriad speaks and acts in a non-human, robotic way saying stuff like "Routine maintainence".
Aurora means a phenomenon that causes light. Aurora has spoken about how the glyphs are a biological interface for exogenous instructions and warns about the dangers of the exogenous. Stein LIGHTman (emphasis added) is a quantum researcher with the archetype of spiritualist. Also, coincidentally (or not!), Stein lightman posts a series of videos immediately after the Aurora challenge.
Umbra means the darkest part of an eclipse. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe fits in here, because in 1218, he was the one who built and activated the dark machine known as the tecthulhu. Umbra discovered a way to use prime OLW's tecthulhu to travel as shards in this universe. OLW is the alchemist, meaning that he is an experimenter with XM technology, and that is what Umbra has done.
Didact might be Hank Johnson because Hank has always been on a quest for knowledge and teaching, and that is what Didact means. Plus, hank was the first one to recurse, and Didact is the one who found out how to inhibit recursion
Other archetypes might come out in the next few weeks but these are just some connections that I see.
What are your thoughts? Am I totally off base?

Personally... i think Nemesis is a dark NIA. Ok not that our NIA is a bastion of fuzzy bunnies, but worse than ours.
This makes waaaaaaay too much sense.
We already picture NIA as a mysterious corporation. Would a dark NIA have some light to it?
In every darkness, there is a light,
in every light, there is a shadow.
Seek the truth in the shadows and the barely-lit hidden places.
So in a different realm, Seelie and Unseelie. Neither to be trusted. What is the equivalent of cold iron we can use against both and lay their garbage bare?
