Line 106:
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Benjamin Prester, Caprice Quevillion, and even Virgil Haas are or become unwilling to kill innocents. How well they stick by this rule during a disaster tells quite a bit about their resistance to [[Villainous Breakdown|Breakdown]], and in Prester's case, [[Character Development]].
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]. While not mentioned directly in the plotline, it's mentioned in the site's glossary that the book ''Crank Theories of Robotics'' is a known cause of SRMD; effectively, one can become a [[Mad Scientist]] simply by reading it. Doctor Haas is seen with it in the prologue.
* [[Tropers Do It Without Notability]]: "[http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos360.html Astronomers do it in the dark]"
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: Whenever the Martian group mind speaks through one of its members. Said member simultaneously acquires [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: minus the "evil" part.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Caprice immediately calls Benjamin out on his plan to escape Haas' attack on their ship by blasting up five civilian ships and killing a few hundred people. {{spoiler|This may or may not have been foreshadowing.}}
