== Literature[[Fan Works]] ==
* "That information is unavailable" is the [[Catch Phrase]] of the [[Human Alien]] Ms. Aoyama (actually a magically-disguised Nabiki Tendo) from the ''[[Ranma ½]]/[[Sailor Moon]]'' crossover fic ''[[Desperately Seeking Ranma]]'' whenever asked who she works for or how she knows something. Thanks to her ultra-[[Magitek]] A.I. assistant Jun, nothing stored electronically anywhere on the planet is inaccessible to her, making her appear nigh-omniscient -- and ''terrifying'' intelligence agencies the world over.
 
== [[Literature]] ==

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* [[Warhammer 40,000|+++THIS ENTRY HAS BEEN EXPUNGED]] [[Knight Templar|BY ORDER OF THE]] [[Burn the Witch|EMPEROR'S MOST HOLY INQUISITION+++]]
