You must be barking

Agents Aicarianos, BeanTrolls, KevinTrolls, PintsAndPasta, PizzaTrolls, TaterTrolls, TerryTrolls, ThomasTrolls, SahanaTrolls, ShiftieCollie and WispTrolls enlightened the whole South London with a wonderful field worth more than 2 million MU. ThomasTrolls and TaterTrolls also gained their Onyx Illiminator badge in the process. Congratulations!

SE London was too small for them. After several months of a permafield over 7 boroughs, as a farewell to a fellow agent they decided to go bigger.

Plans were quickly drawn, then
on the night of Thursday 27th April, despite the heavy rain, off they went!

BeanTrolls picked the short straw and paddled over by kayak to one of the anchors, while the rest of the team was clearing blocking links.

Everything went according to plan. Resistance attempts to block were quickly dealt with and the team gathered at the South anchor.

But wait… everyone can do a BAF – here comes the Battle Beacon! TaterTrolls and ThomasTrolls took turns to earn their badges.

The field occupied airspace over 14 London Boroughs, spanning from Richmond to Newham to Bromley.

The initial throw of the field lasted 86 hours, unfortunately it was taken down at its most appealing anchor. During this time, two agents’ birthdays were celebrated along with a bank holiday!

Within 24 hours of being taken down, the field was reinstated thanks to the solo efforts of WispTrolls, who cycled “like a madman” around London clearing blockers before maintaining ENL dominance over South London airspace.

The team is back at the planning table at their favourite pub devising plans to expand, although they are running out of London Boroughs!

Brighton was brilliant

Brighton was brilliant. The city was fabulous, the weather was glorious and the ice creams were delicious. It was great to meet friends old and new from near and far. And the cake was not a lie.

We battled the scanner almost as much as the Resistance, and while we didn’t win the site, our efforts ensured the Enlightened took a mighty lead into the final day of the Echo series.

See you all in Athens, Ueda and Winnipeg for the conclusion!

Rucking marvellous

Enlightened agents stormed the first event of the anomaly weekend by taking GORUCK Stealth 7-0. Whether it was trivia, Ingress glyph knowledge or holding their weighty backpacks aloft, they gave it their all.
