All right, if you've been keeping up with the briefings, you have my sincere thanks. It's no easy task doing this and I'm deeply grateful you're still hanging around. For now, let's wrap up the Osiris Sequence, shall we?

First up, Operation Ko Lan. Remember Wendy letting Klue take over? This is why...1218 Hank and Jarvis Prime needed Klue to assist them and the Enlightened on a mission like no other. Two team each, 6 Agents from both Factions were sent by the NIA's TKO(Tactical and Kinetic Operations) Division to Ko Lan, Thailand in order to retrieve a powerful Prime Artifact named the Osiris Stone. By this point, we also learn that the Faction that captures the Stone-and controls the various Osiris Anomalies-will be able to somehow influence the Osiris Universe.

Here's the general recap of Operation Ko Lan released by the NIA and Niantic Labs. Tl;DR: The Resistance TKO Squad Hikyaku won Ko Lan and gained the Stone...but not without some difficulty from a group called Nemesis. Bookmark their name-they're going to come back up again.

Finally, Abbadon Prime and the end of the Osiris Anomalies.

The era of Investigation known as “Abbadon” act, in some regard, as the culmination of years of events. To summarize: It was discovered that Zeke Calvin, the creator of the Niantic Project, had an ulterior motive behind the creation of Niantic and the specific recruitment of its Researchers. Discussion still remains around whether or not Calvin was acting as an operative of the Anti-Magnus or if he was simply attempting to unravel the secrets of immortality for himself but one thing is known: Calvin orchestrated the Niantic Project with the intent of transforming its Researchers and himself into XM Simulacrum-without the willing consent of the Researchers. He turned them all into Simulacrum and stored their bodies in a secret lab buried at CERN codenamed “ABADN”

Remember Nemesis? Well, one by one, they began eliminating the Researchers. Carrie....Stein Lightman...Victoria Kureze...Yuri Nagassa....Martin Schubert and even Roland Jarvis. Oliver-Lynton Wolfe chose to go out on his own terms, though. As Abbadon Prime continues, Nemesis wages war on the Researchers. Even as Abbadon Prime came to a close and the Resistance were hailed as the victors and inheritors of the Osiris Universe, the accomplishment was slightly dampened by the revelations that Hank Prime, Calvin and later Devra were all eliminated as well. Reason for all this? No one fully knows why.

Turns out Calvin's little experiment ended up saving his life and the lives of the Researchers. Remember: They're all Simulacrum, not human. So when Nemesis removed a Researcher...they simply woke up at ABADN. Calvin may have known this and used it to his advantage. Now...the Researchers, with the help of Ingress Agents, are planning their counterattack.

Now, the fight against Nemesis begins.
