Misaka Network

The **Misaka Network** (ミサカネットワーク, *Misaka Nettowaku*?) is a brainwave network formed between the Sisters. More than just a means for the clones to communicate and share information, the network also plays an important role in Aleister Crowley's plan and has a number of special aspects hidden within it.

## Principles

### Standard Functions

The Misaka Network allows the sisters to read, scan, manipulate and project thought waves as electromagnetic signals produced by Radio Noise. With the Misaka Network, the clones can, talk in a quasi-telepathic manner, experience and share the same memories of all the other clones These shared experiences, as well having the same powers, allows them to boost their abilities and have their faculties used more efficiently. Each clone can willingly withhold information from being passed into the network, though this is seen only after the end of the experiments when they have already established a sort of self-identity that is separate from each other. Moreover, the Network itself also produces a huge amount of AIM which can be used in a variety of different ways.

### Last Order (Control Tower)

*Main article: Last Order*

**Last Order** (打ち止め（ラストオーダー）, *Uchidome (Rasuto Ōdā)*?, lit. "The End") is the 20001st Sister. She functions as a command center for the Sisters and a control tower for the Misaka Network. According to Yoshikawa Kikyou, Last Order was created as a fail-safe mechanism in case the clones go out of control; by sending a set amount of brainwave signals to her, the researchers can control the Misaka Network from the outside. She was kept into the form of a child and not like her sister so that she could be easily controlled. Her name, Last Order, was derived from the scenario of Last Order commanding the clones to shutdown.

### Misaka Worst

*Main article: Misaka Worst*

**Misaka Worst** (番外個体（ミサカワースト）, *Bangai Kotai (Misaka Wāsuto)*?, lit. "Extra Individual") is a clone of Misaka Mikoto produced as part of the newest lineup of Misaka Clones, the Third Season Project developed to succeed the previous Radio Noise Project by eliminating and replacing the previous clone network. Misaka Worst was also designed as the "outlet" for the negative feelings of the Sisters, explaining her vastly different personality from the original and the other clones, as she can express her negative emotions much more easily. While normally unable to be controlled/interfered with by Last Order, the administrator of the Misaka Network, due to the implants she received, she can be overridden by sudden surges of negative emotions, as comically shown whenever Last Order feels a strong bout of jealousy.

### Will of the Whole Misaka Network

*Main article: Will of the Whole Misaka Network*

The **Will of the Whole Misaka Network** is a thought entity, created from the gathering and consciousness and egos of the Sisters, due to this, she is a hive mind of all the Sisters. Simply being a collection of consciousness and egos existing within the Misaka Network, she seemingly has no apparent powers other than recording the memories of the Sisters in the network. Also, the Will can apparently take control of any living Sister, even Last Order.

### Clonoth

Another facet of the Misaka Network, is that of an artificial tree, separate from the pre-existing Sephiroth and Qliphoth, known as the **Clonoth** (人造の樹（クロノオト）, *Jinzō no Ki (Kuronooto)*?, lit. "Artificial Tree").

Like the Sephiroth and the Qliphoth, the Clonoth has a structure of 10 spheres with 22 paths connecting them, adding up to 32 (with 31 and 32 as duplicates) and with a single path through them all shown by a set of 78 Tarot cards. Unlike the tree of life which represents the positive side of the human mind and the wicked tree which represents the negative side, the young third tree carries neither good or evil. Created by human hands and not found in any previous myth or legend, rather than relying on the hand of god, the new tree instead provides possibilities controlled by humanity, and covers the changes to the human mind and soul brought about through the technological advances and cutting-edge civilization which humans have created for themselves.

The Clonoth is still a sapling compared to the other two trees, but when it was embedded into the world by Accelerator, the external pressure produced was sufficient to affect Choronzon, the Great Demon from the Abyss who couldn't be defeated through the use of the Sephiroth or Qliphoth, temporarily forcing the demon's soul from her physical body. According to Choronzon herself, embedding the third tree into the world would change things more fundamentally than Angel Fall. When drawing upon the mystical power of the Clonoth and planting the tree, with the support of Qliphah Puzzle 545 (who had inherited her creator's essence as a guide and had been granted authority as a guest user of the network) and the Will of the Misaka Network, Accelerator manifested pale, nearly transparent platinum wings, similar to those of the Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass, and also sustained injuries from the side-effects of using something like magic while being an esper.

### Role in Aleister's Plan

The Misaka Network plays an important role in Aleister's Plan, acting as the guidance control mechanism for the Imaginary Number District and used in the manifestation of Fuse Kazakiri and Aiwass.

The interior of the Windowless Building was noted by Index and Aleister to symbolize a third tree, different from the Sephiroth or Qliphoth, built up from scratch.

## Background

Prior to the mass production of the clones, the prototype clone Dolly was created in order to research certain aspects of the clones and factors affecting the subsequent project, including the creation of an information sharing network between the clones (connection between the two, memories).
