 * Logistic Hornets

Space Engage, Background:
 * Space Engage was founded at some point after the launch failure of the Uranus III, a multi-stage rocket of a state-run program, and the death of Melzabeth Grocery's husband, with the aim of developing a safe and effective alternative to older forms of space travel, and to accomplish the dream of Melzabeth and her late husband for their daughter Helcalia to have a wedding in space (hence the company's name).
 * The approach that Space Engage chose involved the use of mass drivers mounted on airborne space launch platforms, resulting in the development of the Logistic Hornets.
 * However in December, R&C Occultics gained control over the company in order to acquire the Logistic Hornets. Not interested in space travel or the company's original intentions, R&C Occultics instead used the Logistic Hornets as the cornerstone of their worldwide drone-based delivery system, as well as a meteorological weapon.  Many of the original start-up employees left the company as a result, but Melzabeth remained in order to be in a position to secretly work to undermine R&C Occultics and ultimately prevent their technology for being misused.
 * The Logistic Hornet also houses a prototype optical neurocomputer, referred to as Project Code: Secret or just Secret, modelled after cranial nerve connections but apparently not quite as complicated as an actual human brain. Although the equipment was built and loaded onboard the craft, in order for the optical neurocomputers to run, 256 processors had to be connected by complex parallel wiring, and this was left incomplete at launch, due to doubts and indecision amongst Space Engage and a decision to not complete it until 4/5 of the start-up employees agreed. Due to proprietary standards, outside contractors could not perform the work. According to documents found by Stiyl Magnus, Secret would allow the machines to handle accepting orders in any language, analyze and manage individualized advertisements, plan and execute sales, carry out sales analysis and map customer bases, locate likely illegal accounts and prevent mass buying/scalping, and monitor each other, allowing the Logistic Hornets to manage themselves, allowing their controllers to constantly receive huge amounts of money while just sitting around. While under R&C Occultics, the Logistic Hornets were controlled by the R Rose drone management server at the group's headquarters, an old-fashioned supercomputer which needed people to look after it and the destruction of which would shut down the global distribution infrastructure, however this vulnerability would have been eliminated if Secret was hooked up and brought online.

Chronology
 * At some point after Anna Sprengel regained her body and created R&C Occultics, Darris came into contact with them and secretly allied himself with them, acquiring the magic and title of Citrinitas, the latter at least given to him by Anna herself.
 * Early on December 26th, Darris was present in Los Angeles as Citrinitas to defend R&C Occultics HQ, while remotely controlling a double of himself in the White House, involved in the correspondence between the American government and the joint Anglican-Academy City force involved in Operation Overlord Revenge, their counterattack against R&C Occultics. After tricking President Roberto Katze into giving the joint force the go-ahead prematurely, he used his magic in conjunction with the meteorological control provided by the Logistic Hornets to engulf the city in a giant sandstorm and trapped the city's population and the joint force in the sand.
 * Throughout the day, Darris continued to operate as Citrinitas in Los Angeles, hidden inside one of a pair of constructs fashioned in order to place the blame for his actions on Melzabeth Grocery, while accompanying and secretly undermining the President as the Vice President in the White House.
 * After the Sisters came to Kamijou Touma's aid in Los Angeles, he was exposed as a traitor when he fell for a trap in Roberto's speech and said something he should not have known. His treachery revealed, he ended up in a gunfight and clash of words with the President before abandoning his remote double. In Los Angeles, he fought Touma
 * With the population of Los Angeles freed, Darris was subsequently arrested.

It is derived from an egg mentioned in Rosicrucian texts, formed from two types of bonds from the beheaded and dissolved king and queen, and buried in sand to ferment.

 * “The beheaded king and queen are dissolved, two types of bonds are used to form the egg, and the egg is buried in the sand to ferment.”

Rosicrucianism also incorporates a number of concepts found in other fields and systems, both previous and contemporary to it. One particular subject of alchemy that features prominently in one of the three main Rosicrucian texts is the process used to create the Philosopher's Stone (and achieve ultimate wisdom) - specifically the four-stage conversion cycle of nigredo, albedo, citrinitas and rubedo, through which one void of worldly desires can achieve ultimate wisdom and obtain the stone, illustrated through a tale in the text. According to Rosicrucian teachings, most magic users can complete the third stage, but let their worldly desires distract them and lose sight of the item's essence on the last step, failing to control that produced and involved in the fourth and final stage.

Death, bonding, fermentation, rebirth Bird Black, white, yellow, red

Citrinitas is the magic which Darris obtained after allying with R&C Occultics, derived from a Rosicrucian interpretation of the alchemical process of the same same, as well as the title he was given as a magician by Anna Sprengel, allegedly a rank of expertise but also indicating Anna's true intentions regarding him. (Core, basis, forms)

Citrinitas is the third of the four main stages in the cycle of conversion used to create the philosopher's stone, following nigredo (black and death) and albedo (white and bonding), and preceding rubedo (red and rebirth). In this yellowing stage, a type of fermentation, the would-be philosopher's stone is buried underground (with a special egg being buried in sand in a certain Rosicrucian text) and 'ferments', undergoing a beneficial transformation that gives it new value. The spell allows its user to remake or 'ferment' people covered by their sand into formless 'nutrients' and absorb them into the sand, trapping them alive but transformed, buried on the assumption that they would eventually be retrieved in some different form, just like with the stone.

Darris can wield this sand in various forms, such as a large compressed mass, glass shards, and a sand pillar that can act as a sandbag to cushion blows, as well as firing it in a compressed blast like a laser or pressurized water jet. The sand could also be used to form remotely controlled humanoid constructs that can pass as human, with Darris using one in the shape of Melzabeth Grocery and a leashed doll, which contained his actual body, to carry out the role of magician Citrinitas in Los Angeles, and one in his shape to carry out his role as Vice President in Washington D.C., on the other side of North America. During the events in Los Angeles, the sand's effectiveness was greatly bolstered by the meteorological control of the Logistic Hornets.


 * Citrinitas (Ch4Pt1) - sand laser, sand pillar/sandbag, glass shard, compressed mass,

The spiritual item which acts as the core of the magic (held within the Melzabeth construct) is a transparent jelly-like fist-sized object, containing a curled up thing like a partially-formed baby bird, covered in black feathers and soaked in red blood, but not looking like a living or formerly living thing. It is derived from an egg mentioned in Rosicrucian texts, formed from two types of bonds from the beheaded and dissolved king and queen, and buried in sand to ferment.

Mikoto/Shokuhou, Chronology
Early in the morning on December 26th, Shokuhou sneaked off to Touma's room in the hospital, manipulating Kuroko to distract Mikoto, only to find to her dismay that Touma had already escaped from the hospital. Later in the day, the two were having a minor scuffle (starting over the television), when Touma phoned Mikoto for help in unlocking Melzabeth Grocery's phone for information, with Kuroko's interruption ending up providing the information Touma needed.

Mikoto and Shokuhou were watching when the Sisters willing revealed themselves to the world to support Touma, who was fighting Citrinitas to save the trapped population of Los Angeles and to prevent Melzabeth Grocery from being framed for the magician's actions. Despite being alarmed at the suddenness of the reveal and faced with having to explain things to their family, friends and acquaintances, the two were proud of the girls for choosing for themselves to act to protect others and taking their first steps into a larger world.

Cloning, Chronology
On December 26th, on the same day as the joint Academy City-Anglican counterattack against R&C Occultics in Los Angeles, Accelerator went on trial for the clone killings in the Level 6 Shift Project, intending to draw public scorn on himself to distract people from any rejection towards the remaining clones. However, many people in the city for whom a guilty verdict and admitting to the clone experiment would be inconvenient, continued to deny his claims and tried to have the prosecution frame Accelerator as mentally unstable so his testimony and reports could be thrown out.

Following a conversation between Accelerator and Dion Fortune which touched upon giving the clones true acceptance and a place in the world, the Sisters used information from the British government to come to the aid of Kamijou Touma who was fighting in Los Angeles to save the trapped population who had fallen victim to Citrinitas and Melzabeth Grocery from being framed for the crime, willingly exposing themselves to the world in the process. The display of their humanity and actions to help others, along with voices of support from various people such as President Roberto Katze, overshadowing any who would denounce or call for their disposal,  ultimately led to the clones themselves generally being received favorably by the world.

Logistic Hornet

 * 9.66 KB, start of 19th

The Logistic Hornet (ロジスティクスホーネット) is a type of (giant) aircraft which acts as an airborne space launch platform. Originally developed by Melzabeth Grocery's Space Engage as an alternative to old forms of space travel, they were utilized by R&C Occultics as mobile bases for its worldwide drone-based delivery system.

Appearance
The Logistic Hornets look like giant flying wings, with V-shaped main wings five kilometers across at the front and a triangular tail wing connected at the rear, with a launch port for the craft's mass driver. Even with the gap between the two sets of wings, the craft's silhouette looks like a single isosceles triangle (Note: Discrepancy between description and illustration). The main pair of wings has a giant circular hole in its center, with a donut shape around it containing the mass driver. The main wing has Space Engage (SPACE_ENGAGE) as well as the unit's name and number (e.g. Logistic Hornet 06 (LOGISTIC_HORNET?)) written on the underside. (Check Illustration/2-7)

The craft's aerial surveillance drones are described as looking like giant crane flies with cameras attached to their bellies.

Principles
Opening
 * Aerial spacecraft launch pads, mobile space development bases - like flying wings 5000m across, originally developed as mother ships for spacecraft, meant to replace old-fashioned rocket/shuttles

Functioning like an aircraft carrier, the Logistic Hornet has a built-in mass driver for launching spacecraft and objects into ballistic orbits from an altitude of 30 kilometers, located in the donut shape around the central hole in the main wings, with a launch port mounted on the tail wing. When activated, linear motors build up circular acceleration and then the object for launch is fired diagonally upwards from the rear launch port. The heated electromagnets are exposed to external air to cool down. The launch apparently costs less than 1% of a traditional multi-stage rocket launch, and even if limited to ballistic flight, it makes spaceflight more accessible. Launched into a ballistic orbit outside of the atmosphere, without air resistance, spacecraft can reach the opposite side of the planet in around 20 minutes. In addition to the mass driver, the craft's huge wings can be used as runways, and transport planes and drones can be hung from bottom of the craft and accelerated for launch.
 * Mass driver carrying cargo outside atmosphere, awfully slow - can't imagine do much more than glide slowly through upper atmosphere
 * Launch spacecraft to carry cargo between them, mother ships wait at altitude of 30,000m, use built-in mass drivers to launch spacecraft into ballistic orbit, let ignore air resistance, take ~20 minutes to carry cargo containers to opposite side of planet

Due to its immense size, the Logistic Hornet cannot use an ordinary airport for take-off and landing, and (might) relies mid-air refuelling in order to fly indefinitely. Given the intention of R&C Occultics for stateless mobile bases, it was speculated that an approach requiring ordinary stationary airports for refuelling, such as with air tankers, would not be taken, with the considered possibility of sending up tanks attached to giant balloons to refuel from land or sea, or using gliders and launch vehicles to provide fuel and maintenance equipment in the same way as cargo deliveries.

Control Mechanisms, Melzabeth Method

With its main wings being five kilometers across, there are differences in temperature, humidity, wind direction and even weather at different points along the aircraft. If these difficulties were not accounted for, the different wind strength and air resistance on different parts of the craft would cause it to 'twist' and eventually break apart. Melzabeth Grocery's solution to this problem, known as the Melzabeth Method, uses an approach based on human skin, which can react on reflex without conscious thought (for example, running a fingertip down the spine making one's hairs stand on end), possibly an off-shoot of neurocomputers which come up with ideas using the same structure as a human brain. A 'spinal cord' was artificially created and delicate cutaneous receptors installed across every part of the Logistic Hornet which can react in a similar way, making aerodynamic adjustments by moving armor scales. As there are more than a million of them, if each one was thought about before a command was given it would never finish in time, and as such the system is set up to give commands without thinking. The aerial attitude control uses data taken from Melzabeth herself, controlling the giant craft's flight based on her subconscious muscle tension and center of gravity control while hang gliding.
 * Ignoring external commands that would crash the craft.(4-7/9)

Control Mechanisms, Project Code: Secret

The Logistic Hornet also houses a prototype optical neurocomputer, referred to as Project Code: Secret or just Secret, modelled after cranial nerve connections but apparently not quite as complicated as an actual human brain. Although the equipment was built and loaded onboard the craft, in order for the optical neurocomputers to run, 256 processors had to be connected by complex parallel wiring, and this was left incomplete at launch, due to doubts and indecision amongst Space Engage and a decision to not complete it until 4/5 of the start-up employees agreed. Due to proprietary standards, outside contractors could not perform the work. According to documents found by Stiyl Magnus, Secret would allow the machines to handle accepting orders in any language, analyze and manage individualized advertisements, plan and execute sales, carry out sales analysis and map customer bases, locate likely illegal accounts and prevent mass buying/scalping, and monitor each other, allowing the Logistic Hornets to manage themselves, allowing their controllers to constantly receive huge amounts of money while just sitting around. While under R&C Occultics, the Logistic Hornets were controlled by the R Rose drone management server at the group's headquarters, an old-fashioned supercomputer which needed people to look after it and the destruction of which would shut down the global distribution infrastructure, however this vulnerability would have been eliminated if Secret was hooked up and brought online.

R&C Occultics, Usage and Intentions

R&C Occultics had no interest in space travel and the original intentions for the Logistic Hornet, instead using it as the cornerstone of the global delivery system supporting its online shopping network. As the group did not want to let distribution centers and shipping routes reveal the location of its headquarters, it focused on unmanned distribution using drones and mobile aerial bases which did not belong to any particular country rather than obvious stationary ones on the ground. The twelve craft, on standby at various positions around the world at an altitude of 30 kilometers, acted as mobile delivery bases, receiving and dispatching products via drones (which carried products to individual addresses), as well as recharging and performing maintenance on the drones. Spacecraft launched by the mass drivers were used to carry cargo containers between the Logistic Hornets. Ground cargo (and possibly fuel and maintenance equipment) sent to the Logistic Hornets was launched using unmanned gliders from mobile launch vehicles (similar to ones which launch ballistic missiles) to keep costs down and maintaining the focus on mobile facilities. Othinus noted symbolism in the name of the craft and its function as a tool flying around the world for the massive IT company - a rose representing the organization, nectar hidden within the flower being knowledge, and hornets buzzing around the flower for experts seeking hidden knowledge.

Meteorological Weapon

While under the control of R&C Occultics, the Logistic Hornets were also utilized as a meteorological weapon, given their immense cargo capacity and global coverage. In order to manipulate weather conditions, a large amount of naphtha (from napalm) or liquid nitrogen is loaded onto many (hundreds or thousands) delivery drones which are fly towards specific aerial coordinates under guidance from the group control system normally used to prevent collisions and then self-destructed. This releases their contents to rapidly heat or cool the high altitude air, and through this temperature manipulation, changing air density and controlling atmospheric pressure, it can manipulate the wind. The mass driver was sometimes used in launches for this purpose, as the scale on which the manipulation has to be carried out to control the weather means that areas of 50 or sometimes even 100 kilometers have to be covered. During the Los Angeles Mass Disappearance, the Logistic Hornets were used to create sandstorms and other meteorological phenomena to boost the effectiveness of Citrinitas's sand-based magic, aiding it in swallowing up the entire population of Los Angeles, and dropped temperatures in the city to minus 20 degrees.
 * Slow to respond - engulfed, can slice through air to blow sandstorm away, not get rid of fine grains already caught in hair and in clothing
 * Can carry obscene amount of supplies, if pure napalm just detonated in sky, enough firepower to end Vietnam War in three days, need to control wind and carry sand to city for magic, impressive/absurd
 * Why control weather when could blast with explosion, sure has restrictions, originally designed for peaceful launches, coordinate settings and mass driver's movement range won't allow targeting nearby surface

Background

 * Optical neurocomputers already onboard, not yet running - complex parallel wiring to connect 256 processors not yet hooked up, optical neurocomputers used proprietary standards, outside contractors not perform work, even employees from startup have doubts, never reach answer - load equipment onboard, leave wiring incomplete - even knew dangerous, invention still invention, design/register/built to prove theirs, overeagerness common with start-ups, not complete until 4/5 of start-up employees agree
 * Start-up president, support of RCO, only those agree remain and backbone ones have left company, no matter complexity, just submit detailed diagram, then RCO able to manipulate everything from economy to weather of any region/country

Chapter 2
2-6
 * RCO involved in all forms of online business, most prominent - online shopping, not let distribution centers and shipping routes reveal HQ location, focus on unmanned distribution using drones
 * Delivery drones all over world, not build obvious stationary bases on ground, still need way of receiving/sending out products, recharging drones, performing maintenance, build mobile bases not need belong to any particular country
 * Aerial spacecraft launch pads, mobile space development bases - like flying wings 5000m across, originally developed as mother ships for spacecraft, meant to replace old-fashioned rocket/shuttles, RCO no interest in space travel, 12 of things on standby in sky around world, launch spacecraft to carry cargo between them, then drones carry actual deliveries to individual addresses, mother ships wait at altitude of 30,000m, use built-in mass drivers to launch spacecraft into ballistic orbit, let ignore air resistance, take ~20 minutes to carry cargo containers to opposite side of planet
 * When ground cargo sent to Logistic Hornets, launch unmanned gliders from mobile launch vehicles, like ones launching ballistic missiles, cost of launches down - stick to mobile facilities allow to avoid concept of nationality

2-10:
 * Documents from AC base, brought up from UST Secret memo
 * Project Code: Secret, appear to be prototype optical neurocomputer, modeled after cranial nerve connections, looks like design not quite complicated as actual human brain.
 * Allow machine to handle accepting orders in every language, analyzing and managing individualized advertisements, planning and executing sales, sales analysis, mapping the customer base, locating likely illegal accounts, preventing mass buying and scalping.
 * Whoever controls, constantly receive obscene amounts of money while just sitting around
 * Drone management server currently controlling Hornets in HQ, old-fashioned supercomputer - needs people to look after it, desroy - shut down global distribution infrastructure, intentional weak point could be seen as advantage as a way to manual shut all down
 * Once hook up to Secret's complex wiring, computers in hornets take over while monitoring each other, manage themselves, taking out HQ not stop, surrounded by meteorological disaster weapons, target any part of planet
 * Optical neurocomputers already onboard, not yet running - complex parallel wiring to connect 256 processors not yet hooked up, optical neurocomputers used proprietary standards, outside contractors not perform work, even employees from startup have doubts, never reach answer - load equipment onboard, leave wiring incomplete - even knew dangerous, invention still invention, design/register/built to prove theirs, overeagerness common with start-ups, not complete until 4/5 of start-up employees agree
 * Start-up president, support of RCO, only those agree remain and backbone ones have left company, no matter complexity, just submit detailed diagram, then RCO able to manipulate everything from economy to weather of any region/country

Chapter 3
3-4:
 * Slowly pass overhead, 12 mobile delivery bases surrounding world, non-AC tech but crazy
 * From distance, look like V-shaped boomerang, another triangular tail wing attached behind, center of main V have giant hole
 * Low rumbling, orange sparks, donut-like part surrounding hole begin to glow, flashing move back to tail wing, orange beam of light launch diagonally upwards
 * Mass driver carrying cargo outside atmosphere, linear motor build up circular accelerator then fire from rear launch port, orange light probably heated electromagnets being exposed to external air to cool down, awfully slow - can't imagine do much more than glide slowly through upper atmosphere
 * Can't flip upside down, if fly large transport plane or strategic bomber same as small fighter - what happen, 5000m across - miracle stays airbone at all (see later), tech even better than Gremlin's Radiosonde Castle, wonder if could change wind currents by tilting enough to catch wind
 * Launch everything by blasting into air - unnecessarily inconvenient, 5000m across, wings can be used as runways, can hang transport planes and drones from bottom and accelerate like monorail
 * Function like aircraft carrier, upward-pointing mass drivers also launch flying objects into ballistic orbit, Stiyl - launch cost less than 1% of multistage rocket launch, even if limited to ballistic flight - makes spaceflight more accessible than highway (like oilfield that never runs dry)
 * How take off and land - not use ordinary airport, either ocean or desert - Long Beach, probably ocean, might rely on midair refueling to fly indefinitely
 * Air tanker?
