This is a short description of the action that has occurred in this region for the past 24 hours. We will post more details as the situation develops.

2013-11-10 06:04 A cross-faction "quarantine" zone has been established over shard #4 following an extremely contentious transfer from West Malaysia and Singapore. Spoofers from both factions, competed with actual agents on the ground to gain control of the shard.

In the past few days, shard #4 has been meandering around in the Malaysian state of Johor. Attempts to control it was sporadic and ineffectual.

Shard #4 was briefly transferred to Singapore by a spoofer on early Saturday evening. However, attempts by Singapore RES and a cross-faction team in Sabah (including a visiting agent from Philippines)  to take advantage of its proximity was foiled when yet another spoofer drew it back into Johor.

At 3AM Sunday morning, Malaysian ENL then linked shard #4 from Johor to multiple portals in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. This strategy would increase the chances of the shard following the general direction it was needed to.

Upon its arrival within Kota Kinabalu, a cross-faction team transferred the shard into the Kota Kinabalu suburbs. Then, multi-layered fields were created on top of the closed portal farm that shard #4 was stored in. The operation began at 3AM with the shard's arrival; and ended at 5:30AM.

And so ends Operation Shard Containment...

And begins.. Operation Shard Honeypot: Suspicious agents and attacks within the vicinity of the quarantine will be recorded and investigated.

Further reports will be posted as the situation develops. We have no idea how long this will last or whether we can hold out against the spoofers, but we do know this: it's not really Resistance vs. Enlightened - it's really spoofers against US :)

The author of this report also has a plea to all agents: blame the spoofers and not the factions. Regional and cross-factional relationships should be strengthened because of the spoofers, rather than weaker because of distrust.

On a funnier note to our local players, as well as visitors: You can see the shard "perform" over Foh Sang portals while u enjoy a drink. We ask that you do not touch the shard, or stare directly into it for a long time ;)
