The story concerns the "miraculous adventures" of [[Meaningful Name|Fatebane]], a covert operations specialist about 800 years in the future, working for one political faction in the [[The Federation|Terran Associated States]]. What starts out as a regular mission turns out to go awry, getting him dragged into a plot to prevent a civil war, and the destruction of the Association along with it. Of course, nothing ever goes according to plan... if there was a plan to begin with. Can Fatebane reunite two star-crossed lovers, save the universe, and live to collect his paycheck?

* [[Absent Aliens]]: No non-human aliens have shown up as yet in the story.
* [[Author Appeal]]: The author is a big fan of [[Used Future]], [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]], and [[Magnificent Bastard
* [[Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work]]: Fatebane goes out of his way to not kill the legions of guards, soldiers, and civilians who are just trying to do their job, but {{spoiler|when the Emperor's too stubborn to surrender, he has to flatten the Volsian capital city with more nukes than are in God's own arsenal.}}
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: Fatebane's favorite tactic.
Line 26:
* [[Future Slang]]: All the shebing time.
** "Sheba" & "Pabo Pyungshin" are Korean swear words (circa 2000) for "Fuck" and "Stupid Cripple," picked up when the author worked in an [[Shout-Out|international school in Korea.]]
** "Poh Ha'aretz" is a derogatory term in Hebrew/Aramaic used in the Talmud (ca. 100-400 CE) literally meaning "here in the land," but really means "idiot," or the equivalent of "white trash." Since Orthodox Jews have to study that book from ages
** "Affskmi seffque" is actually a bad personal joke using two acronyms AFSCME (the public sector employees union) and CEFCU (a credit union).
* [[Good Republic, Evil Empire]]: You have to admit, it's harder to get through your Invasion Fleet funding passed through the Senate then it is through an Emperor who says, "Do it."
