Silent Party (革命未明) is the 23rd episode of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S and forty-fifth episode overall. It was first broadcasted on September 20, 2013.

In Academy City, one’s value is determined by one’s level and power development is mostly decided by innate talent, so what if an esper could be created from scratch with some other method?

Aritomi explains the Chemicaloid Project to Mikoto and Nunotaba. STUDY will perform a large-scale experiment on the day of the Academy Research Exhibition Assembly and revolutionize Academy City. While unable to move because of the drug, Mikoto is reminded of herself when she sees Nunotaba bearing an incident involving her past.

Then her trusted comrades appear to save the two of them...!
