Ingress Level 6 brought to you by Zipcar and Jamba Juice

I had a pretty big step goal today on my Pebble activity tracker.  When I got to work, I didn't have any time to play Ingress before starting my shift, so I decided to play a bit at lunch time instead of waiting until after work.  I ended up going to the Embarcadero, where I hadn't captured or hacked any portals before.  It is hard to believe that I'd never been over there, but I have so many other directions to go in that I've just never made it there before today.

I started out taking out two portals and placing resonators to capture them.  Attacking those two portals depleted all of my exotic matter energy so I needed to recharge.  While doing so, I noticed someone attacking another portal that belonged to my faction, so I walked over and added some resonators and portal shields to try to thwart their attack. 

I walked down Justin Herman Plaza and attacked a third portal.  I depleted it entirely and placed the first resonator to see someone else filling the portal.  I located the guy a couple of minutes later, adding to one of my other new portals.  His handle in the game is Nymfamous.  We then noticed that Moschops, the Level 8 agent I had met last night at Jack London Square, was somewhere in the Embarcadero destroying Enlightened resonators.  We located him near the fountain where my wife, our friend and I met the San Francisco Mobile Plus Photowalk last March. 

Suddenly there were three of us, teaming up to destroy the enemy's portals.  I was a bit late getting back from lunch.

Moschops also discovered that the local Jamba Juice location was now a portal.  I fully expected that would lead to Zipcar spaces becoming portals and by the late afternoon, that's exactly what happened.

I left work a little before five.  I needed a little less than 5000AP to reach Level 6.  I captured a Zipcar Location portal and headed up Mission to capture another.  After that, I made a few links on an existing portal and thanks to some assistance through Level 5 from the San Francisco Resistance and corporate sponsor portals for Zipcar, I am now Level 6 in the game.

To celebrate, I captured the Seabiscuit and Tanforan Assembly Center portals in San Bruno and my wife and I went to Westlake Center Jamba Juice, where I captured that portal as well.  I've already gotten around 10000AP just capturing those three portals from the Enlightened and destroying the links they had tied to them.

I've attached my new Level 6 avatar, complete with gratuitous corporate logos!
