2. The name decoded

"1) X, the unknown variable. 2) Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence) 3) A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent," decoded a user for the internet.
Netizens who thought it was a joke, were in for a rude shock.
