Across Universes is a Forum Roleplay found on TV Tropes. The main story revolves around a group of mercenaries who explore the universe and take on missions from anyone willing to pay them. Unfortunately, they have to deal with each other. Witness their arguments as they attempt to do their jobs, and maybe have a laugh or two along the way. It can be found here, and signups are right here.

It got a reboot on Discord as From Across Universes.


 * Abandoned Area: Part of the Stroj arc takes place in an abandoned city. This trope is used to show the devastation on the planet before the colonists arrived, and parts are used backdrop for a fight against the mechanized drones. It's even raining all the time to emphasize this trope.
 * Adaptational Villainy: Lupo Ironwills and Levin Maelstrom were characters from previous RPs. Both were found annoying by RPers IC and OOC, so they were turned into cultists who worshipped . In another timeline, they became bandits.
 * A.I. Is a Crapshoot:
 * Played with during a filler arc. The Amazon Prime drones go on strike because they were offended over the fact they were made to work less.
 * caused the events of the Stroj arc.
 * All Just a Dream: The Lucia arc took place in a dream sequence because the GM OOC aborted the arc at the last second. Ges even compared it to one of Asagi's anime. She somehow overheard and got offended by that remark.
 * Alternate Self: Ai and Albert are both the Lone Wanderer, somehow. They even have the same backstory. At one point, they end up having an argument on who deserves the title better. Hastur notes that they have something in common, though. They'll bring about the end of humanity through various means. Albert will do it through pure stupidity. Ai will do it on purpose and replace humanity with a race of androids.
 * Amnesiac Dissonance: has spent too long creating their own memories and living a life separate from the one they already have. If  were to transfer what they were missing directly in one lump sum to, they would experience a severe dissociative crisis that may permanently damage their mental health. In short,  gets a summary of his former life.

She is adept at summoning magic, but can't use any to conjure monsters since it's a ritual many mages should conduct.
 * Brain Uploading: Sort of like how we used VR to pass the time while running from the Mattervore, the occupants of the vessel in the Ealan arc are living in a standard fantasy world to pass the time. Most of the passengers have outright been mind uploaded into the ship's computer systems. And on arrival they'll get uploaded into implants placed inside brand new bodies made from raw genetic material. The working hypothesis being that 99% of the passengers were voluntarily turned into Tang for the journey because the people running the ship figured that would be easier than trying to keep all of their bodies alive for the whole trip
 * Broken Pedestal: During the Ringworld arc, Lisa becomes upset at Japan because her first experience with Japan ends up being an Imperial Japan analogue.
 * Butt Monkey: Longram, Longram, Longram. Despite the fact he's a trained combat engineer of the Enclave, the multiverse doesn't give any mercy to him at all. Near the start of his FIRST appearance, he had a bump into Albert Walker which broke out into a fight, got arrested and jailed, got bailed out by Asagi with a hefty debt with interest, other characters added their debt to his, and during one time Asagi had to sell off EVERY GEAR he had with him  even though Longram paid it all off through a wish. Sucks to be a mook like him.
 * Cain and Abel and Seth: In the Idacra arc, Ges has this type of relationship with the Weissritter Abend and the Alt Eisen Nacht. It is his duty to put a stop to their antics by any means necessary.
 * Call Back: In a game called WAOAA, there was a particularly clusterfucky incident in which the characters involved, proto-Kerberos (we'll call them), got into a direct conflict with Heaven itself. Everyone OOC eventually agreed the situation was FUBAR, so the group all agreed to more or less retcon the incident away by having in-game be basically everyone relevant supposedly vanishing into a mysterious bright light According to Rai, "It was always my personal interpretation that what REALLY happened was that the war got so over the top and clusterfucked, the universe collapsed in upon itself."

 * Marcia Shyneet, her Morph Moth incarnation more specifically, comes from Our Avatars Are in A Room Together,
 * Catgirl: Sorceress Ael, which was fitting since witches are known to have pet cats.
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: Travis Touchdown’s years of working as an assassin have made his body quite durable, not only can he run for long periods of time without getting tired but he can also take large amounts of punishment or even shots from guns with little to no effect as long as they’re not consecutive.

Then use the codes to trick the bots into taking the group to their control center, where the programmers can deactivate them or bend them into serving the group's will as necessary.

 * Deal with the Devil:
 * Argus signs a deal with a text parser in order to get another chance at life. All she has to do is "Bring the star of rebellion to the sacred realm, and then snuff it out."
 * In order to take on cultist werewolves in Operation Delta Green, the group had to sign a deal with a demonic loan bank to get a shitload of gold. These werewolves are weak to gold weaponry. The only ones who objected were Lisa and Omar. They also had to sign a deal with Ao's family to get more gold.

He can sprout tentacles at-will, as well as eyes, mouths, mandibles etc. When fully released he's comparable to an adolescent Orca whale in size, though noticeably lighter due to portion of his mass being extradimensional (or non-Euclidean as HPL would erroneously put it).

 * The End of the World as We Know It:
 * Epic Fail: During the time skip, Longram was assigned to troubleshoot somebody's computer and managed to somehow knock out the entire station's electrical grid for 12 minutes. Nobody knows what happened, and Longram isn't talking, no matter what anyone threatens or coerces him with.
 * Expy: According to Imca, "Mizore is basically [OAAIRT] Imuka whole sale. Suzu may be a refinement, but Mizore is essentially her perfectly without you know having been in [the OAAIRT FG thread]. This is why room Imuka never fucking went back to her dad despite being essentially royalty. Hell the dragon's skull on the wall was a bit of a callout to that."
 * Fallen Hero: Versions of Kouji Kabuto, Amuro Ray, Ryoma Nagare and show up as Chaos Marines in the Weird Moon arc.  became one as a result of.
 * Fantastic Caste System: Suzu's world has an outdated caste system based on feudal Japan: The nobles are at the top, followed by the mages, peasants, and the burakumin at the bottom.

According to Ren, "[The Emperor] doesn't want to argue with the people who shoot fire from their finger tips.... not us since we directly serve them."
 * Fantastic Foxes:
 * Ao is a Kitsune who can switch between human and fox form. Taking damage in fox in her form is more grevious because it's her real form. She can manipulate blue flames and knows a deadly form of bestial martial ars.

 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: In order to fit in, Hastur's human avatar had to incorporate many of popular culture's beliefs of The King In Yellow, not in the least part a certain animoo franchise.
 * For Science!: Baru enjoys experimenting by asking two fundamental questions: "What happens if I mix these?" and "How hard can I blow this up?" What she lacks in upper body strength and lifting capabilities, she makes up by being really, really good at running away from lab accidents very fast. Not that she has to most of the time, as she is mostly immune to fire. She even graduated top of her class at Tiefling University. In no small part because 85% of her class fell victim to various kinds of tragic explosives-related accidents over the years, putting Baru at the top by default (and warping the bell curve heavily in her favor, too). The University's Ethics Committee often got in her way when she was trying to find a topic for her Thesis. One of these topics was the concept of Flesh Transmutation Grenades.
 * Fusion Dance: During the Virtual Reality arc, group members fuse with the spirits of fallen historical and mythological figures.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare:
 * Gentle Giant:
 * As giants, Hathor and Lisa are considerably stronger than a normal human. However, their enormous size frequently causes problems and necessitates the use of their pendants to shrink them down to human size. As a result, they can mingle with humans and befriend them pretty easily.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh was pissed at the group and proclaimed that he will punish the group for dirtying his precious Noble Phantasm with their filthy mongrel hands.
 * The Good King: The Skoisaun king wanted the war to end, but hardliners in the military placed him under house arrest and claimed they were simply following his decree.
 * Greater Scope Villain:
 * Greed: According to Chuck, "There are two things that Lovisia firmly believes in: That Power equals Money, and that Money equals Power". That is why she is constantly searching for ways to become more powerful and acquire more wealth, which in turn leads to more power again. After her first plan to become obscenely rich (a promising start-up enterprise about a smartphone app that helps brokering deals for mortals who want to sell their soul to a demon) failed due to some fine-print she didn't notice in a contract she signed, Lovisia instead tried her hand at adventuring and found that her extraordinary physical strength made it surprisingly easy to acquire money through mercenary work and quests. Turns out questgivers are surprisingly willing to increase the promised payment if you are an 8-foot tall demon woman with a greatclub. Her greed even got her to get a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, so she could keep better track of the money coming in and out of the group's operations.
 * Gundamjack: In the Huckebein arc, the group was hired by The Black Charisma to steal the Huckebein prototype before Zeon forces abuse it.
 * Half-Human Hybrid
 * Having both dragon and giant heritage makes Euryabe super-humanly powerful and durable. She is also immune to fire, and can fly using her wings.

 * Cath is half fish-person, making her more attuned to the seas and letting her use water-themed magic.
 * Halloween Episode: The group were stuck in their costumes for their trip to Scipio VII. For some reason, this made them seem normal in the eyes of the Space Marines who hired them.

 * It was later rebuilt in the form of Centerpoint Station. It's more roomy, but less personalized.

 * Inverted Trope:
 * Bruce is an anthropomorphic wolf who turns into a human on the new moon, making him an inversion of the usual werewolf trope.
 * According to Raidou the 21st, "The setting is one of the main reasons I chose to play Omar in the fashion I did. Part of it was turning around the obvious expectations. I felt like a lot of characters who were career soldiers (not all of them disclaimer here) were meatheads off the battlefield, but super erudite 'All According to Keikaku Doori' when on it. So I put it on the reverse: Someone who was incredibly learned and calm when not on the job, but shows just why he has the position he does when it's go time."
 * Basileus's stories are weird reverse fairy tales. Instead of the knights being the heroes trying to slay a dragon, the dragon is the one defending people from evil knights.
 * There is a plot where the group is trying to rescue a Goblin Princess from a band of ruthless Adventurers who have kidnapped her. And in exchange get paid a chest full of gold. Normally, the goblins are the bad guys and adventurers are the heroes.
 * Jerkass: The Yukimura clan elder is the biggest jerk on Suzu's world. In Imca's words, "Mages are Jackasses + Sexes not being equal = There is going to be problems dealing with them." Sparty even said, "Old Man Yukimura holds [the group] in active disdain. It's not that he hates [them]. It's that he doesn't even fucking care. He could order [them] all shot and then go to bed and forget about it the next day. Those are the worst kinds of jackasses. Not the ones who hate you, the ones who don't even give a shit about you other than what you can do for them."
 * Killer Rabbit: Cuddles looks like a cute Bewear gijinka, but don't underestimate her. Her grapples can break a person's spine.
 * Last of His Kind: Andrew Longram is the last surviving member of his world's version of the Enclave and to a certain extent, the last of the Old World Americans.
 * Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Gespenst has to fight Norio during the Ringworld arc as one of Norio's requests.
 * Mad Scientist: Luna was the one who designed and built the device that saved the universe's collective ass and fixed the universe not even a week ago, and all she needed for that was to siphon the energy of every other universe in existence to fuel her invention. Bruce even notes that Luna's a psychopath when Luna agreed with Baru's idea of Flesh Transmutation Grenades.
 * Making a Splash:
 * Catherine has the power of Hydrokinesis, which, depending on how much she focuses, she can create some pretty powerful constructs near a large body of water, but she's left open. She's also quite nimble, at the least, swimming quite a bit. Can also breathe underwater.
 * On Daecel, the group met aliens who dress up in cloaks and are made out of water vapor. Their leader is called The Big Moist and he's big enough that his throne is a drinking pool.
 * The Man Behind the Man: In the Ohm arc, Vudan Arms gave the MSG the supplies to take on the world. Vudan Arms stopped after the group stopped the attack on Loswell Foundation. Cami, the representative of Vudan Arms, even went on a rant on how Lyle is the most incompetent person she had the misfortune of meeting.
 * Mask of Power: Most of Rostam's power comes from his War Mask, a special mask infused with the power of an Efreeti. If the mask were removed, he would lose the connection to the Efreeti until Rostam equips the mask. Dangerous things can happened if it were destroyed somehow.
 * Massive Multiplayer Crossover: The main premise with some Original Generation to boot.
 * The Medic: Reverend David Alberts is a medic with weapons that can heal people. He comes with syringes, healing grenades and a self-sterilizing scalpel. If he's forced into combat, he can fire a Beretta 92 9mm pistol and a HMTech-401 Assault Rifle. He's even turned into a White Mage during a section in the 3E arc.
 * Mind Rape: As a finishing move, Hastur can also mentally torture folks with terrifying images but only when those are incapacitated and at his mercy. His malleable form allows him to change shape into different instances of the same blonde humanoid with varying age, though he favors the teen-aged one.
 * Mirror Universe: The basis for an ANSCD arc. The players play evil versions of the characters they usually play in the normal RP. They have to escape from a ruined world.
 * The Multiverse: The multiverse the group's in is as vast and infinite as ever.
 * My God, What Have I Done?:
 * Name's the Same: Marcus thought the Imperium of Mankind was the Roman Imperium. He was corrected by Momonga.
 * New Old West: Middle of Nowhere is a western-themed town, complete with saloon and train station. What makes Middle of Nowhere unique is that it takes place on a desert planet.
 * Non-Action Big Bad: Cami and Vudan were behind the events in the Ohm arc, but Cami surrendered after encountering the group during the raid on their base. Vudan refused the offer and was shot in the face by Noble Six.
 * Noodle Incident: There was a Time Skip where Roy, Ironscales, and Oliver successfully escaped from the meat dimension in the Saving Cyberpunk Christmas arc.
 * No Respect Guy Andrew Longram, one of the resident engineers of the group. Even though he's one of the few folks with a stable mindset among the cast of wierdos, his comrades ([especially Asagi]) berate Longram and treat him like an idiot or a liability at the very worst. Most of it stems from being from a very xenophobic faction and Longram's jerk tendencies. To further the metaphorical ball breaking, he owed Asagi a heavy debt to pay off his bailout from jail which arbitrary rises to Asagi's whims.
 * Nostalgia Level: During Operation Delta Green, the group visits Terminus Station to find Luna's laboratory.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: For a while, Barbara the Paladin pretended that she was clueless with technology in order to disguise the fact she's originally from modern society.
 * OC Stand In: Barbara is based on the Avatar from the Ultima series. Ai and Albert are both based on the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3.
 * Otaku:
 * Lisa is an American assassin obsessed with Japan to the point where she dresses like a ninja. However, the Ringworld Arc tests her patience as she gets to see a version of feudal Japan, warts and all. She was rebooted into Kitsune in the Discord reboot
 * Travis Touchdown, the fowl-mouthed NEET from No More Heroes, shows up in the reboot.
 * Our Dragons Are Different: The group in the Mirror Universe arc had to deal with a three-headed dragon who specialized in the elements of hydrogen, oxygen and radium. It was an scientific experiment left behind to guard something important.
 * Our Presidents Are Different: The President of the United States on Lisa's Earth is a Russian Frost Giant. Her popularity shot through the roof when she promised to kick Santa's butt. Upon learning the truth, she settled for kicking the Grinch's butt.
 * Our Werewolves Are Different: On one of their early missions, the group had to deal with an invasion of bishonen werewolf cultists who were weak to head trauma and gold.
 * Perpetual Poverty: There's one thing that will never, ever change about the group. They will always be in poverty.
 * Pay to Win: During the fight with the Grinch, Suzu paid out the nose to get powerful weapons. This backfired when her outfit changed into a bikini.
 * Political Correctness Gone Mad: The Amazon Prime CEO wants to respect the rights of his workers, but he goes overboard and offends his drones by making them work less.
 * Power of the Storm: Hathor uses arcane magic associated with the weather. Her control over this is limited, and cannot be used to do more than create small clouds or create water droplets. It has the potential to become significantly more powerful with time and practice, however.
 * Precursor Killers:
 * Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: During the Ohm arc, Lyle revealed he was dumped by Cath in the past. He's so petty, he attempted to stage a robbery at the Loswell Foundation just to get back at her. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the power to do so and has to rely on his henchmen in the MSG, who don't even show him an ounce of respect. He even got pissed off when Asagi placed a sign with the word "HA" on it formed into crude art of Cath holding hands with Longram.
 * Put on a Bus: Sandra disappeared from this RP after her player didn't take the criticism given to her well.
 * Quest for Identity: Oliver is searching for the USB drives that determine how he got trapped inside a robot's body. When Oliver talked with Leandros, Leandros gave him the following advice: "Let the past sleep for now. By no means give up your quest, but try to enjoy what you are at the moment. What happened will still be there when you are prepared, but don't let it master you like a puppet on strings. Instead, forge a new path. There will be mistakes along the way, aye, but learning is what this life is about."
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Alternate is a man with two personalities. Alternate A's the red oni because he's kind of an ass. He's also not very patient with his other half, Alternate 1. He also has physical-oriented powers like super strength and shark-like teeth that grow back pretty quickly. Alternate 1's the blue oni because he wants to be nice and polite to everyone. He specializes in abilities requiring the mind, such as knowing how living beings work (be it human or xeno) and performing delicate surgery with ease.
 * Religious Bruiser: The other reason why Rai choose to play Omar was to see "if it was possible to portray [a soldier] with a religious bent to it in a more positive manner, and [he] didn't feel like using the catholic analogue for Infinity's setting."
 * Retcon:
 * With the disappearance of the, players have made changes to their characters.
 * Neon has decided to return Corrin mostly to her more friendly personality. She became quite unpleasant, and he wants to move away from that.
 * Hil and Bcom have agreed to do a retcon for einar and azzie getting into a relationship.
 * Kirb wants to revamp Andy Longram. He's no longer an Enclave Combat Engineer nor a Fallout character. Instead, he's Alpha AL-2218, a human clone shocktrooper who uses special weaponry in combat such as liquid jet guns. Kirb felt that Andy's not much of a Fallout character, and that Kirb wish to move away from the Longram name.
 * There was one done with the Discord reboot.
 * Ret-Gone:
 * The Infinity Cylinder is a legendary weapon. According to Evan, building it would require the manpower and intelligence of an entire planet. According to the legend, it's basically a temporal and quantum weapon. It doesn't destroy or unmake a target. It simply erases the concept of the target's existence. If it were built, plans on using it on the  to prevent it from
 * According to Luna, The MK-1 Re-Genesis device creates a universe that overlays on-top of the original, then the boundary collapses, merging the two into one, and overwriting.
 * Riddling Sphinx: The group met Jahrimo, a sphinx guarding the Slate of Wisdom. In an inversion of the usual trope, Jahrimo wants to hear jokes and stories from the group. Naomi got the Slate of Wisdom by telling a nice Feghoot to him.

 * Ring World Planet: Suzu hails from a run-down ring world maintained by a station-keeping AI that is worshiped like a goddess.

Everyone is celebrating Chrimbus, Haxxakkah, Kwanzorp, and other off-brand holidays that are still in the public domain. Once again, Santacorp prepares to deliver toys to all the boys and girls, in exchange for incredibly generous tax breaks. But there are troubles in old Neo New York. Children everywhere are disappearing in droves, leaving worried mothers and fathers behind. The AU gang must help Lisa's hometown save the children and defeat an evil, extra dimensional, holiday-devouring creature from beyond the stars.
 * Shape Shifter: In the Idacra arc, the group had to deal with the Einst. Some of the Einst successfully changed into members of the group, causing paranoia for a while.
 * Shoot the Shaggy Dog: After the Ringworld arc ended, the "Keep Our Station Clean" bill was overturned, effectively nullifying the reason why they went to Suzu's ringworld in the first place.
 * Single Biome Planet:
 * Nowhere is a desert-themed planet. The only ice that could be found is directly at the poles.
 * Cryogen and Pyrogen is a binary planet system. Cryogen is a planet completely covered in ice. There's even an ancient laboratory underneath the ice sheet. According to Imca, "[Pyrogen and Cryogren] are [part of a] terraforming experiment. All the heat from the two goes to Pyrogen like a giant refrigerator. Ever stuck your hand behind a fridge?"
 * Daecel is a jungle planet. It is so humid that the colonists there have to live in domes. They still have to use fans to bring in cool, dry air and expel the bad air. When the group enters a dome, the colonists ask them to close the door to avoid the spread of humidity into the building. In fact the MacGuffin needed for the colonists is an orb regulating the humidity level.
 * The Planet of Scipio VII is another jungle planet. According to an e-mail sent by Ordo Chronos, the planet is in need of some assistance due to its defenders being away on fighting in other battles. It is thought that there may be an early stage infection of Xeno horrificus upon the planet and it needs to stamped out pronto.
 * Spin-Off: Across Universes is an action-oriented spinoff of We Are Our Avatars. Across Universes places a hardline on character powerlevels, and thus the characters have to get more creative when coming up with solutions. It also forces the character sheets to be more creative.
 * Spiritual Successor: To We Are Our Adventuring Avatars. Imca, founder of this RP, wanted to properly experience the fun of We Are Our Adventuring Avatars without all of the baggage that came from that game.
 * Square Race, Round Class:
 * Turax is a magician who happens to be a Krogan. Krogans are known for their Blood Knight tendencies and their Super Toughness. The typical Krogan would probably go for a physical-oriented class if they happen to get stranded on a medieval planet. Then again, Turax believes that knowledge of arts is an excellent source of power, which also extends to spellcasting. During the Virtual Reality arc, he even gets the powers of Merlin.
 * Lisa is a giant who's obsessed with ninja to the point where she becomes one herself. It would be more fitting if she picked a more tanky class. She even got the powers of one of the Hassan-i-Sabbah.
 * Status Quo Is God: . In other words, they were back in poverty.
 * Stay with the Aliens: At the end of the Weird Moon arc, Phillip chooses to stay with Granteed Dracodeus and learn more about him.
 * Stunt Double: From the offices of Fullmoon Studios, it has been an unfortunate time for one of the oldest studios. The actors and stuntmen in the upcoming blockbuster are now hospitalized due to the decision to perform action scenes using new "real action" instead of CGI. Now, stunts in Jollywood usually dangerous but the movie in question takes it to the next level. This spooked most stuntmen taking their place in the set. Not as bad as Heart of Darkness' Troubled Production but Fullmoon's in desperate need of stuntmen.
 * With no other choice, the studio sends their representatives to seek anyone who can help pull off those scenes. Anyone with the balls to thrust themselves into hell. Seems like the team's a perfect fit, they survived through armies. Can our mercs get this damn film finished or would the perils of this extreme filming would lead them six feet under?
 * Take That: The GM of the Saving Cyberpunk Christmas arc has the following prose describing Emoji. "Now, popping out of the aether, strange infernal creatures that appear to be the mishapen creations of some cruel and dark god with no sense of morality. You can attempt to speak to them, call your friends, search through the buildings, or just do an Asagi thing-" These infernal creatures, judging by the image link are Gene, High-Five, Jailbreak, Poop and Smiler from the Emoji movie.
 * Take That, Scrappy!: Dave and Alice make cameos in Operation Delta Green. They get killed by the 's tentacles..
 * Taking You with Me: The Laftkranz tries to suicide-bomb the group's battleship in the Weird Moon arc, but Taka saves the day at the cost of destroying his mecha.
 * Time Skip: After the Villain arc, the RP went back to the group a month after the job in the Stroj arc. The group had a fair amount of odd jobs, but they paid very little. Some even costed the group money. There was a time when the group tried to catch a shoplifter, but Oliver got too excited and Stimmed into him so hard that he ended up body surfing him past two intersections. They had to spend money paying for his medical care, as if they don't already spend enough for their selves. There was also the time they had to rescue a regular cat from a space vent.
 * Time Stands Still: The Fury can freeze time by using Larseilam.
 * Trapped in Another World: Before becoming a paladin on the world of Sosaria, Barbara was just a regular girl from the good part of Los Angeles. For a time, she pretended that she didn't understand more advanced technology.

 * Treacherous Quest-Giver:
 * As it turns out,
 * According to Momonga,
 * was the one who hired the group in the Weird Moon arc. He was also the same person who tried to crash the moon onto Idacra.
 * Traintop Battle: One of their first missions on Nowhere involve protecting precious water from bandits with partial success, another would be recusing a NOD leader from the same train filled with Mecha-Mooks.
 * Unskilled but Strong: Cuddles is a considerable unarmed fighter. While she lacks the finesse and agility of trained martial artists, she makes up for it with ridiculously high physical strength and stamina, the latter in particular stemming from the sheer fluffiness of her people. Hitting Cuddles is not unlike hitting a pillow: You'll have to put in some serious force before you can to any lasting harm to her, otherwise she'll just bounce back as if nothing happened.
 * Uplifted Animal: The Ancat is a smart cat who believes in the concept of Anarcho-Capitalism. It even has cryptocurrency in the form of Meowcoin.
 * Uriah Gambit: When the AU group arrives to respond to the signal on Idacra, immediately tries to get them all out of their hair. First, they sent Quartz and the other spart char up north where colonists lost a group of scouts. Next, they send Oliver, Suzu and longram out to sea in a known hostile environment with eldritch creatures. They sent Asagi, Lisa, and Sandra into a hot zone where they first meet Nacht. And they expected those bandits to definitely murder the shit out of the others. They also didn't like Haken and Audrick, so  planned Operation Bug-Hunt in hopes of getting rid of them.
 * Visual Pun: The race of water vapor spirits on Daecel are literally air-headed.
 * Wave Motion Gun: In the Stroj arc, the group got called over to a planet because Centerpoint knew there was supposed to be an Ark there but they haven't heard back yet. Turns out the Ark crashed, because there's a lot of orbital laser cannons around the planet shooting at anything that gets near, and the Serenity almost crashed before being forced to land. It turns out the orbital lasers are part of a planetary defense network with machine soldiers on the ground that was created to repel... something that passed through and killed the previous civilization that lived there.
