Unsorted Notes by Part:
 * Pr: Touma/Anna/Aradia, Anna K/Aiwass, Mut Thebes
 * Anna Sprengel: Wickness, ROC/St.G/OH/LA/AA, chose cruelest cards - issue of personality not explainable away by logic/efficiency, no intention of arguing to defend herself, however honestly see a world gone mad after regaining body, once more produce thoughts/imagination in mind, plan to travel world as see fit but world diseased, no one realize how sick, undoubtedly wicked/betwitching, desire stability and seek king acting as umbrella, want to do as please without accepting responsibility - glutton, don't want world shrivel before devour all desired enjoyment, BBC plan out of question - can't let succeed
 * Anna Sprengel (Background)
 * Predator Octopuses: After martial law alarm, tire skid, surround by >10 vehicles, deeper/heavier than Anti-Skill vehicles, look like 8-wheel armored vehicles with tank gun attached on top, mobile combat vehicles - design to move quickly without damaging AC's roads, to use tank-class firepower - swiftly eliminate dangerous elements in city, more antennae than ordinary model - likely control remote, effectively ground-based drones, HsMCV-08 Predator Octopus, giant gun or smallest machine gun blow human to bits
 * HsMCV-08, Drone
 * Tackled down, air compressed, explosion, building wall blown away, dust/ringing in ears
 * Strange voice seem to enter mind directly rather than vibrating earbrums, Kingsford, Aradia/Anna trembling, Aiwass summoned, something burst from body, Kingsford slight frown, colorless/formless torrent rush towards, Holy Guardian Angel/Secret Chief/extraterrestrial lifeform - no one know exact what was, source of limitless power Sprengel draw on like priestess
 * Anna Kingsford, Aiwass
 * MT: Floating in sky, brown-skin, long wavy blonde hair, binder carried over shoulder made from spears bundled in X-shape, Shrink Drink contain Alice's power to kill in a single blow, specialize in punishment, series of booms, drop like pouring rain, weapons fly out to side before taking aim at target, create shape some might liken to bird's wings, collide with asphalt, orange sparks flying from armor, cover area with enough destruction to keep Transcendent from escaping, transparent tips shatter against ground - glass shards, chemical smoke produced by toxic pink liquid inside, smoke swell out like cumulonimbus, didn't sense capturing center of life - escape?, specialized for use against Transcendent, not do all much damage against other targets, fail to pierce armored vehicles, asphalt unharmed
 * Mut Thebes, Shrink Drink
 * MT: After MT descend and peek under one vehicle silent after remote antennae broken, main gun aim at Transcendent and fire 120mm tank shell - supersonic, caught with hand, fuse - detonate all explosives inside when sense contact, pierce armor, injure/destroy crew/engine within target vehicle, boom - shockwave shatter nearby windows, MT unscatched, tank shells emerge from outside edge of arm, more like wing, return fire, main gun blast up by explosive within vehicles, armor rupture, axle break, giant tire roll away with wheels still attached, land-based drones - operate remote or run via program, break ranks and flee in panic, one leave more calmly - hijacked
 * Large enough to tilt head back to look up from outside, dark/cramped inside, feel smaller than boxy light vehicle, three separate seats inside - tight fit, guess base of rotating main gun stab down and take up large cylindrical space, siren stop, flat-screen monitor - control vehicle complicated (drive, aim/fire, load, general command and comms) but AC modern military vehicle do all by swiping flat computer, not bothered but seemingly disorienting task, what do, before spear - activate smoke emitter to obscure vision before spear's chemical smoke - not sneak in without it, RCO, any IT company (not just search engine) call self global power - needs to link/compile data from all parts of world, acquire AC format require spending Christmas spying on contents of many phones/tablets to analyze code inside, existing to suck data from accessing phones/computers, supposed to be 20/30 years ahead, future technology not as flawless/safe as like, vehicle can control remotely, not hard to hijack military vehicle fully reliant on network, if show off too much - AC will notice and patch, convenient to reuse same components - seem postapocalyptic for phones and ground-based combat drones to use same basic OS/firmwave, too reliant on strategic firewalls/dangeorus behavior detection algorithms, Aradia not fond, tech instead of magic to avoid tracking from others, feel/smell like cold/sterile server room rather than machine oil/smoke, look of one trapped in industrial refrigerator, after data backup, not have perfect memory but also need physical/visible evidence for threat, flare gun next to command seat
 * R&C Occultics, Academy City Technology, Military, Cyber Warfare, Computers - Hardware/Software

 * Alice, Trismegistus
 * Bite lip, tearing sound, continue, split down middle, split self apart and use fissure as jaws to roar, can provide ultimate cutting edge to any object/phenomena, call Mut Thebes and release punisher, exasperated voice to butler - emotion/little too inhuman, BS remove transfusion tube, free to do what want but don't fight Mary (still upset), try to patch up, butler grab head in hand and push split body back together, unharmed Transcendent wordlessly fix self up before responding, Mut Thebes's role complete, common sense dicate free again - like her to support MT's punishment mission (was a Rescuer, intend that fact to likely be greatest attack against Alice-harming Touma), Trismegistus bite lip and plan to call in members from outside city, common sense - battle already started, no more said, believe KT need to die alongside Sprengel and her info on the cabal

Mut Thebes

Appearance
Mut Thebes looks to be a skinny girl of about 15, with long wavy blonde hair and brown skin, wearing thin belts and pure gold ornaments.
 * MT: Floating in sky, brown-skin, long wavy blonde hair

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Mut Thebes is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. Besides her roots in Egyptian Mythology, she apparently specializes in punishment and execution, and has been called an expert in executing Transcendents.
 * Didn't sense capturing center of life - escape?
 * MT: Main gun aim at Transcendent and fire 120mm tank shell - supersonic, caught with hand, fuse - detonate all explosives inside when sense contact, pierce armor, injure/destroy crew/engine within target vehicle, boom - shockwave shatter nearby windows, MT unscatched, tank shells emerge from outside edge of arm, more like wing, return fire, main gun blast up by explosive within vehicles, armor rupture, axle break, giant tire roll away with wheels still attached
 * Punishment specialized Transcendent (処罰専門の超絶者, Shobatsu Senmon no Chōzetsu-sha)
 * CH1:
 * CH2:
 * Specialize in punishment, series of booms, drop like pouring rain, weapons fly out to side before taking aim at target
 * Create shape some might liken to bird's wings

Mut Thebes has the power to procure methods of punishment from targets (including those of offensive weapons) by making her shadow contact a target's shadow, making the strength and firepower her own. For example, when shot at by a Predator Octopus's 120mm main tank cannon, she caught the supersonic tank shell with her hand and was unscathed by its subsequent detonation, and then could produce tank shells to return fire, from the outside edge of her arm like a wing, and later produced multiple 120mm tank cannons.

Mut Thebes is also capable of levitation and seems to be able to sense when her weapons take a life.

Shrink Drink:

One tool for executing Transcendents, which she was lent for dealing with Anna Sprengel, is the Shrink Drink (矮小液体), a spiritual item derived from Alice in Wonderland, and containing the power of Alice Anotherbible, who likely had a hand in its creation.

In the story, the drink physically shrank the imbiber, and the Shrink Drink is intended to similarly diminish a Transcendent by weakening them and taking away their power, in a similar manner to the Fairy spell used on Othinus. It is specialized for use against Transcendents and does not do much damage against other targets. Even if the spears don't directly hit their target and inject their content, the transparent tips can shatter against a hard surface (such as when striking the ground after being rained down at supersonic speed), scattering glass shards and chemical smoke produced from the toxic liquid.

The Shrink Drinks take the form of 150cm long spears, probably javelins given their length and likely reach, with glass spearheads containing a fluorescent pink liquid and the words "Drink Me" engraved on the shafts. Mut Thebes carries them in a binder over her shoulder, with the spears bundled together in an X-shape. }}
