Kyiv's Seven

A story of the FA that had not too much chances to be fulfilled. Performed by agents for whom Ingress (seemed) had died at the time of Scanner [REDACTED] shut-off.

Idea, outline: livetder, OlegPalyvoda.

Organisation: livetder, meIIivora.

Attempt No. 1

Intel: RomanticMaster.

Key farming: 3eJleHuii3Miii, Belka91, glaubway, Good111Witch, livetder, OlegPalyvoda, sergshak, ToxyCity, XxXFreyaXxX.

Field agents: BrutalSuperman, Belka91, Dreamcat4er, glaubway, Kre0l, lisovi4ka, meIIivora, Mirim, OlegPalyvoda, sergshak, ToxyCity, UpbeatPhoenix, XxXFreyaXxX, zanshee.

Attempt No. 2

Intel: Nemiroff.

Key farming: glaubway, meIIivora, RomanticMaster, RToxic, sergshak.

Field agents: 3eJleHuii3Miii, Anjeyko, Belka91, Cankorf, glaubway, KievSky, Kre0l, lesenog, livetder, meIIivora, parragon01, RomanticMaster, RToxic, sergshak.

It all started too ordinarily, even a bit tritely - from the livetder’s plan. FA itself was not a big surprise - drawing the number in Kyiv city center after NIA’s birthday has become a tradition. Even the core of the squad was formed by previous FA participants.

Then our interest was raised by OlegPalyvoda’s offer to make homogeneous fields for 3D effect creation.
Despite that only one agent from the team had experience with such kind of fields, we agreed to try cause Oleg presented his plan that looked quite intelligible.

A couple of days before FA issues started emerging one by one: not enough participants, lack of keys etc. But that all was solved in short terms and success seemed to be increasingly feasible.

Key farming

New troubles popped up at the time we reached the meeting spot: suddenly our org stopped keeping in touch with us without providing linking plans and key lists, and our Intel hasn't been found yet. Even most skillful orgs have personal life that breaks all plans sometimes.

Nevertheless, we were so delighted with the idea and quickly found an Intel with almost no experience in such operations and hurriedly completed link plans and key lists.

Meanwhile, a frog ran by and removed 62 blue crosslinks, for which everyone was very grateful. Awaiting some time and start linking. Fortune has left us at this stage: part of the FA was removed by enlightened just in few links before completion. Shit happens, decision to postpone was taken.

Attempt No. 2 Everyone naively thought that this time our main problem was finding new people instead of sick, busy and disappointed ones. Moreover, the experienced Intel was found, all link plans were completed and participants were already skilled in homogeneous fields after the first attempt.

But everything can’t go that smooth, new exciting details came around again. For instance, damn intense cold and meeting with the enlightened while key farming in few hours before the start. But our courage has no borders :) and, fortunately, everything goes pretty well. Only at the very end the link from the immune portal passed in the wrong order and the homogeneous field wasn't created.

But that night the city center was deserted, thus, after an hour we luckily completed this beauty.

Another happy occasion supplemented this successful operation and birthday of Ingres - it turned out that exactly a year ago 3eJleHuii3Miii has joined the Resistance!
