Where is the Gravity Manipulation Organ?

I have a feeling this has never been brought up, but I have... a need of sorts to know where it is.

What I was thinking was that its an organ that sends out signals or special Nanomachines that allow the Neko to fly around. Alternate gravity around her.

Wes commented that it may be a series of organs connected to the bones. Personally to me that doesn't really make sense?
 
Solution
After a thorough search the wiki, it appears there is no such thing as a "gravity manipulation organ."

The inertia-controlling/anti-gravity ability seems to be distributed throughout the body (it wouldn't make sense otherwise, particularly for things like Sora-mai).

I've updated the Nekovalkyrja (Type 33) page to add that.
I personally would prefer no organ. Yeah, maybe that's lame to some and part of it is I like my mewser not getting shot in his organ and suddenly losing his ability to fly but on the other hand any seriously hurt Neko could have trouble hovering and part of why I liked NH-29s was that they didn't have hearts and pretty much only have their brain to worry about like zombies.

Besides, I think saying they do have a gravity organ would possibly hurt canon more in a sense because I bet most people didn't think they had one and if they did I bet there would have been a lot more "aim for the gravity organ!"

Wouldn't it possibly be strange to read tons of past RP where people kept aiming for center of mass or the head and not the gravity organ?

I like people just assuming they have a gravity organ and saying they'll kick some someone in the gravity organ instead of their coin purse.

Hey, it could be an urban legend too. It's not like everyone is well informed on the exact makeup of a nekovalkyrja unless they scan them.

Heck, years back, nekos couldn't be scanned because they supposedly liquified under deep probe as a copy-protection measure (which ensued people using deep scans to kill them, which eventually saw that feature removed, I hear)

I'm totally okay with going with what Zack said. :3
"Would you get a look at the gravity manipulators on her?"
Common misconception: neko boobs are gravity organs! :D
 
I gotta agree with what Fred said. I think the head canon of the majority of Neko players would be messed up as I can't recall ever seeing anyone say anything about a gravity organ until I think recently when Dumont said something in SARP chat about hitting a Neko in the gravity organ and when asked about it she said she didn't think for certain they had them and was just ad libbing.

I've seen the term used several times by several people, but I haven't seen it used once in the sense that it's something you can specifically target. That's why I'm thinking of it as being an organ or body system, but one that's senseless as a specific target, in the same way you never cry out an instruction to shoot someone in the muscles, skin, or skeleton (except perhaps if you're trying to inject something).
 
Let's keep in mind that the article on the Nekovalkyrja Creation Process was made by @mizunoyoroko and not by the writer of the Nekovalkyrja NH-29 (Fred) so the wording may have been a little off. The submission was approved November 4, 2008, at first but the article tag was not removed and 2010 I found it during a wiki cleanup and submitted it again.

Edit: An earlier version of this post claimed the NH-29 was submitted by me but it was submitted by Fred.
