Welcome

This blog collects all of my research on Dr. Devra Bogdanovich as well as becoming a way to tell her story. You can check the What is this page for an overview of the project, or browse through the Bio and Career pages to learn about Dr. Bogdanovich's work and life. The main part of the blog will serve as a journal of my journey to document my research and to pay homage to a distinguished scientist.

Unusual Post - Is Devra ok?

Devra posted an atypical post on Feb. 22 - there were a few statements that seemed out of character, was this an accidental post, or is something wrong with Devra and this is an attempt to communicate that danger?

An important note, it raises the potential that the phone Ben jackland had was not the phone referenced in Felicia Hajra-Lee's novel.

But what does she mean admit if there is a problem.

+Lukas Lentz Obviously, we all remember things differently. My recollections differ from both Tycho and +Felicia Hajra-Lee , but bear in mind, my perspective was different. I saw the world through my eyes.  They see the world through theirs.  +Yik Sheng Lee there are those who would attempt to blame me for the scanner leak, but I believe that it was somebody disguised to look like me. It happened in the Summer before Epiphany night with a fairly primitive version of the scanner that ended up in +ben jackland's hands. I don't know what Bowles' role in this was, if any. It is very hard to investigate something when you can not admit that there is a problem.

OMG.  It looks like there's more from Andrew Onymous on +Niantic Project .

Calvin and Devra chat - Unnatural

This document was released yesterday detailing a recent conversation between Dr. Calvin and Devra - https://plus.google.com/+NianticProject/posts/KAbvVtSjhvA

I find it quite heartening and a bit amusing that the unenlightened are utterly unaware of my activities.  



Devra referenced the release of this document here - https://plus.google.com/102598577258553073047/posts/V95g1FQgh6c

I will never confirm nor deny the veracity of yesterday's release from Hulong which concerned a private conversation between Zeke Calvin and myself.  However, I do protest the posting of such things without verification.  Private conversations should remain private.

On a lighter note, I have heard rumors that Tycho is releasing another comic.  It is fun to see the events of your life illustrated, despite the fact that those were very hard days.  Of course, as much of what is in Tycho's comic relates to classified material, I have to be careful about what I say.


The conversation brings up a number of points to think about


1. Devra is very much alive and has been working, as Oliver Lynton-Wolfe alluded to in his post, on her vaccine.  I am hoping the fact that she is still working on it, means she is testing it through proper scientific methods and is following those beliefs she displayed at the beginning of the Niantic Project. She admits she is not sure, and adds a little more to why.  She also leaves the door open, "It's the best option I see" - so perhaps instead of calling this plan fool-hardy it is better to see to what she considers a vaccine an option and providing a valid alternative that accomplishes the same effect (don;t just call her dumb or stupid, provide a viable alternative to the solution she seeks)

2. Devra reached out to Calvin (I am guessing based on how the chat begins) - so I wonder, why? Is she trying to find an ally? 

3. Why did Calvin say it depends on whether Jarvis trusts him?  What an odd phrase.  Although I did mention in a comment to OLW that he has BIT every single hand he tried to work with and what will be different about Jarvis

4. I had thought perhaps Loeb and/or Bowles could be behind the glyph game and other changes.  We've not heard much from Bowles since the revelation in +Felicia Hajra-Lee about 855 wanting him to find a way against ADA. What ever came of that?  And what about OMnivore, is it still out there and cranking away? Is it moving towards ADA status as well?

5. +H. Richard Loeb in hiding, I still wonder if that was Loeb's distorted voice talking to Moyer and he and she have been working together. Maybe what she does not want us to find out is that she is +Verity Seke :)

6. CLONING - I was waiting for the ethics of immortality and Patterning to make it to the table. I think this deserves a separate post and reply.

7. We see it was Devra that brought in the term simulacrums - any comment on this +Edgar Allan Wright - is this why in your post you said you are not a simulacrum - did you mean you are not an XM pattern restored?  What is the official definition in this case of an XM simulacrum (yes, I happen to like to know word definitions ;) 

8. Devra's last words are important to me too - it shows hope that she is not mass blanketing, but she is taking one potential and developing a counter to it. If there are issues with XM - it is nice to have options - I think ANY agent here agrees options rather than something forced are what we all care about.  And yes, some could argue she is using an old definition of natural and we are evolving into needing new definitions (again me with the definitions LOL - but, that is the way science progresses - through definition - just like language and how word meanings evolve over time


New Comic from Tycho - Devra in the Cave?

A panel from a new Tycho comic coming out surfaced. We suspect it is Devra in the Martel Caves where she met 855.  We shall see soon enough

Glyph Game and What is the Jarvis Society

It is here.  This document was released yesterday ahead of scanner update 1.45.3


An Operation Essex Agent has created this form for more accurate information gathering on glyphs. Please add any glyph sequences you hack in the game to help us see if these messages are just random or perhaps they are being directed - http://goo.gl/rDXqlU

Four people responded to the glyph game being released, including Devra.  This gives hope she is still alive and able to post. Hopefully it is in an unrestricted capacity.  Here is her post:

I have heard disturbing but unconfirmed reports of a new glyph application in some Ingress Scanners.  These must be verified. We need to establish the vector of this hack.  While there is debate on this subject, my official warning is that you use glyphs carefully.

Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe left a comment, one which could be seen as an attack. Although, it is hoped Devra is collecting data and creating a voluntary response to XM exposure, not a forced one as that would place her in the same position as those she is worried about.

Devra... Nervous as usual, aren't you?  Reminds me our little tiff about the Power Cube.  Seems like a hundred years ago.

We all miss +Carrie Campbell.  If indeed she is gone.  However, we must pay close attention to the infinite. To the greater picture here.  Let go Devra... What has Resistance gained for you.  Let go...

And I have been monitoring your experiments.  You will never create a vaccine.  It is impossible.  Give up.  Let go.  The object you are clinging to is not real.

Also to note, Oliver Lynton-Wolfe lists his place of work as The Jarvis Society, what is that?

Here are the other posts about the glyph game - is this good, or bad?

Recursion Begins


The set of recursion events has begun. Resistance took the first event - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/PqyhYg6ZkAB and the hunt for the artifacts begins soon.

Secrets have begun to unravel as we search for answers - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/bXhccr7DNan

What is hidden in ancient maps, and journeys and quests?  https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/FtHnQJFCjW5

Dr. Bogdanovich's silence has been long, I hope it is because of research and collecting resources to help with what may be coming.
