Ingress is a secret agent program that's not so secret. We're not really agents, but we're sorta. Okay, fine, we're just really enthusiastic volunteers. But that's not the point!
You can't. But seriously, you can't. Or can you? Maybe you can. Possibly. Possibly, you can. We're not really sure. But if you want to try, just ask your local Ingress agent, and they might let you in on the secret.
