Moon Cell

The , also called the , Eye of God, Divine Automatic Recording Device, of Fate/EXTELLA - Dawn Arc: Chapter 3 is a massive collection of Photonic Crystals within the Moon that comprises a giant supercomputer of sorts. It acts as the main setting of Fate/EX.
==Nature==
The existence of the Moon Cell is not known to average humans, and other than the existence of the Moon Cell itself, the world of Fate/stay night is said to be exactly the same as the World of Fate/EX up until the 1970s.Fate/EXTRA Visual Fanbook - p.079 The Moon Cell has nothing to do with Crimson Moon and can be said to be unable to fit within the world of Tsukihime without making the story fall apart, but the Fate/EX-universe equivalent of Crimson Moon, the "Brain of the Planet", should still be living.
From the dawn of history, mankind has been in contact with the Moon Cell on and off, and were always able to access it through their Spirits or souls, with the Moon Cell frequently inviting humans inside of it to "come and teach it."Fate/EXTRA- 4th WEEK_The fourth selection - Leonardo B. Harwey conversation Old world Magi notably could connect with the Moon Cell's interior portions using meditation without radio waves. It was officially discovered and revealed to the wider world in 1973 by a wizard employed by the United Nations. Once the Moon Cell's location was revealed, everyone tried to claim it as their own, so as a result the Harwey family prevented space-travel to prevent anyone from landing on the moon.
==Characteristics==
Unique to the world of Fate/EX, the Moon Cell's photonic crystals are shown to have been created 4.6 billion years before the Age of Man, making it a construct formed roughly 100 million years before even the formation of the Earth. It holds the , a large computer-like construct created by an unknown civilization one hundred million years before the existence of the Earth or the Moon. It has recorded everything that has happened on the planet since its formation, and it keeps the records much like Swirl of the Root. It is the oldest known object in the solar system, and it has watched the Earth since its creation. The exact formation of the planets and how the crystals were integrated into the moon is unknown, but scientists know it to be an observation device constructed by an alien civilization of non-human intelligent life.
This great mineral vein is located within an extremely large hole comparable to a several-kilometer-wide crack boring through the moon itself. The diameter of the crystals themselves reaches up to 30 kilometers. It seems that, apart from its surface portions, the moon itself is made up of these photonic crystals. The time of its initial operation is unknown, but an estimate based on radioactive carbon dating approximates the moon to have been formed 4.55 billion years ago, while the photonic crystals were created 4.6 billion years ago.Fate/the Fact - ARTIFACT ON THE MOON: Concealed Truth, Artifact is Discovered on the Moon
Photonic crystals are material that can be found on Earth, crystals that, on a microscopic level, regularly alternate between layers of high and low . In this way, it is a substance that can control the transmission of light, making it a valuable material for a quantum computer using light, as well as the manufacture of nanomachines. Humanity has only managed to successfully make photonic crystals a few centimeters in length since intensive study of them began in the 20th century, with the Harwey family only able to make a unit less than a centimeter in size while Atlas has been slightly more successful, but only by a very marginal percentage. The core of the Moon Cell is a much larger photonic crystal, about 3000 kilometers in length and using light as its storage medium, as well as all of its high-level data control systems to transmit data and system commands. The giant photonic crystal slumbering beneath the moon can be considered a supercomputer of enormous size, incredible complexity, and immeasurable processing power that was created from such nanoparticles. Although most supercomputer development was abandoned in the 2010s in favor of shifting the focus to cloud computing, the processing power of the all digital media on Earth combined cannot hope to match the capabilities of the substance. According to Twice H. Pieceman, the Moon Cell's core is made of the purest type of photonic crystal, a material that can act like the crystals used on to recording media.Fate/EXTRA - Epilogue: .birthday
It scans the entire Earth about once per nanosecond and compiles the results of its scan in its database. It is a pseudo-intelligent being that has the supreme ability to affect the outside world with its internal calculations. As an eye that observes the Earth, it acts as a database of human history that faithfully simulates all life on Earth and is capable of providing a definite prediction of the future. It is a processor with a massive memory that has recorded the habits, history, ideas, and even the souls of humanity. As it can also affect the outside world with its calculations, it has the power to "grant wishes." In this way, it can be thought of as a Pandora's Box that promises the next stage of evolution. It promises god-like power to those intelligent lifeforms who have become technologically advanced enough to scan the interior of the moon.
After it was discovered, it managed to hack into every computer system around the world and connect to them within two seconds of contact through the static satellites managed by the Western European Plutocracy. This made all Internet security systems moot, as anyone could get into any other computer via the passageways through the Moon Cell as long as they could connect to the Internet.Fate/the Fact - The Conflict of Wizards, WAR OF THE MAGI: An Outbreak of Holy Grail War!? In order to determine who is truly worthy of using its power, the Moon Cell began the Holy Grail War, where "spirit hackers" who have hacked themselves into the SE.RA.PH (see below) fight for the right to use the Moon Cell.
In Fate/EXTELLA, there exists a ring known as the . As proof of Hakuno Kishinami's kingship, they have obtained the Regalia ring and became admin of the Moon Cell. Realizing that if the Regalia is destroyed, and the Moon Cell left vulnerable, Hakuno makes a last resort decision to split themselves into three parts; Mind, Body, and Soul. This action shocks Archimedes, believing that they wouldn't even be so desperate, but as a result of their actions, the Regalia is separated into three pieces.

====SE.RA.PH====

Moon Cell (manga).jpg|Core in the Fate/Extra Manga.
The , abbreviated , also known as and , is an artificial environment within the Moon Cell located inside of a spiritual computer system called . The system is similar to Akasha in the terms of holding the "stores and archives" of all human history.
The SE.RA.PH is responsible for the summoning of the Servants during Fate/EXTRA. The SE.RA.PH restricts the exit until the tournament participants are reduced to one, as per the Moon Cell's rules. It is also responsible for the existence of the NPCs and all areas in the tournament. The area within it called the "Moon Cell" is a representation of the Moon Cell's core, and the golden globe within the cube is the main core--the core of the Moon Cell itself. Servants generated by the Moon Cell are called to protect the core, even at the cost of violating the contract to their Master. Servants are required to stop their Master should they try to destroy the system, and those who prioritize their Master over the Moon Cell will be deleted from its records. It is, however, possible to fool the Moon Cell's surveillance, enabling Hakuno Kishinami's Servant to protect him/her.
====Holy Grail War (Fate/EXTRA)====
The landscapes generated by SE.RA.PH are all independent Reality Marbles, an extremely powerful feat. The school of the preliminaries, the school for the main tournament, the Arena, and the Coliseum are each individual Reality Marbles. Even the greatest supercomputer on Earth would be unable to sustain a single Reality Marble for any great length of time.

===Far Side===
There also exists the , an imaginary space known as the trash bin that is used for storing malicious information and imaginary numbers. Sealed off as "Not For Use" information, it is a higher dimension where the light within the photon crystals is jumbled. It is the “exterior of the world”, and can be called the "Garden of the Fallen" built from imaginary numbers in contrast to the Near Side being a cell where the "light of heavenly fire" is imprisoned. Due to his power, Gilgamesh is not allowed to appear on the Near Side of the Moon, so he sleeps in the Far Side instead. Nothing else should be able to exist there because it is the territory of nil, and intelligent life forms should not be allowed or be able to exist there. It is not within normal time, allowing for a series of communications over eighteen days from Earth to take less than a microsecond within the timeframe of the Moon Cell.
Due to BB surfacing and gaining power as an Advanced A.I., she begins an extensive reconstruction and periods of resetting to work towards her goals. This allows for someone to contact Gilgamesh even when it should be impossible. The end result of her work is Cursed Cutting Crater, a real space in the present, past, and future. Establishing it as a "place", even Masters can exist there. It is not possible to hack the Moon Cell however much time is spent, but she is able to take control of it by placing herself in “unlimited time” through the power of the primordial Goddesses she has taken into herself.

Setting in a western-styled city in a perpetual sunset, the area features many buildings and gazebos, one of them being used by Lancer to torture her victims to be used for her blood bath. Tohsaka's "Money is Power System" machines are placed on the second area alongside powerful guardian programs whose strength varies depending on the amount of money Hakuno Kishinami puts in. Rin's Venus Statue is located at the end of the area before the staircase leading to Rani's area.

* 11F Memory.
* 12F Life.
The fourth three floors of Sakura Labyrinth is under Jinako Carigiri's control and aided by her Servant Karna, taking place deep in a dark fossilized graveyard full of blooming red flowers. Though is noted to be much simpler in term of structure than those of the previous Sentinels, the area is equipped with warping device and wall of death that would not let anyone across unless one sacrifices their life to it. Jinako's Venus Status is located behind the wall of death at the end of the area, blocking the way toward Elizabeth's area.

The sixth three floors of Sakura Labyrinth is under Meltryllis's control, taking place in a cold, somber version of Elizabeth's area, with many broken structures and puddles of poisonous liquid. The second area is turned into a "dollhouse" for the dismantled Alice, featuring an silent and beautiful garden in contrast to the other parts of the area. The end of the area is blocked by Meltryllis's Venus Statue, with the staircase behind it leading toward the Mooncell's Core.
====Chapter 7 - I love You.====
* Observer on Angelica Cage, black bottom moon light.
====Chapter 7 - Anima Ataraxia.====
* Deliverer on Angelica Cage, holy only lime tree.
After Kiara Sessyoin has taken control over Moon Cell from BB, she transforms the area into a crimson pond full of blooming lotuses, surrounded by golden clouds, reflecting her desires to become a God who receives pleasure from all living beings.
===The Zero Dark===
14,000 years ago, the Umbral Star detected Earth and it's civilizations and sent a fragment of itself, containing Velber 02, which crashed into the Far Side of the Moon, infiltrating the Moon Cell. Velber 02 attacked the Moon Cell, causing huge damage, but was defeated, and was quarantined in an area which became known as the Zero Dark. Using the full power of the reformed Regalia, the darkness in the Zero Dark can be made even deeper, so that the cavern containing the White Titan is sealed away permanently.
