Line 32:
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Usually Joey's job, not that he's terribly happy to do it most of the time.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Be vigilant". Used in a variety of ways and by different people.
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Twice, once when Rob's mother died in an aircraft hull loss, and again when Reich blew up Rob's tribe and foster family. Another aircraft hull loss soon followed. One of the reveals is that {{spoiler|LINC's creator, absorbed into LINC, was the [[Glorified Sperm Donor|neglectful father]] [[Luke, I Am Your Father|of the protagonist]]}}.
* [[Cool Chair]]: Most of the time Rob will claim he is too busy to sit down, but the chair in Burke's office is too good to resist.
{{quote| '''Rob:''' What a chair... it's a MASTERPIECE in UPHOLSTERY!<br />
Line 69:
** If anything, this is one the few games where this is a [[Justified Trope]] via [[Fridge Brilliance]]. Robert's [[Backstory]] involves growing up in The Gap, where scavenging junk and improvising what you need from whatever comes to hand is a fact of tribal life. Hence, his collecting various knick-knacks and using them to [[MacGyvering|MacGyver up]] solutions to his problems is simply what he's used to.
* [[Love Interests]]: Anita - in an interesting subversion, she helps him escape his plight as much as he helps her achieve her goals. Sadly, it doesn't end well.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Dad, way transhuman long ago, and recently made somewhat transhuman son meet as enemies in an ultra urban setting. Unlike [[Star Wars]], there don't seem to be any lightsabers in the game nor a protagonist stealing everything of use on the Death Star, but there are great similarities between ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''Beneath A Steel Sky''.}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: This easily falls to {{spoiler|the LINC committee}} but the worst one of all is definitely {{spoiler|Rob's father}}.
* [[Master Computer]]: LINC
