Line 8:
 
* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|The Ars Arcanum, leader of the Arcanas, seems to believe that reality exists to serve it. This contradicts with the way that it is attempting to destroy everything.}}
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Possibly averted. Four AIs have appeared so far, but two of them seem to be completely loyal to their creators. Alundra Djinn works for the Dominion and doesn't appear to be malevolent, but Alfva Maei (mispronounced as Alpha May) just seems to run the Bellacroix. The third AI works for {{spoiler|the Celestial Emperor}}. The fourth, the Librarian, seems to be loyal to the Dominion, but is rather flippant toward the leader of the Monolith Group.
** The Trinity System, a method of traveling faster than light is controlled by the A.I. Tria. She is described as a [[True Neutral]] and almost never shows her face. She is a clear aversion as she is firmly on the side of the Universe.
** One new character, Trinity, plays this straight. She is an artificially intelligent virus that has ineffectually infected Tria. Trinity is totally insane and wants to "Reject the reality of the Dominion, and substitute her own". She is infected with another A.I. virus, Phantasm that has also gone insane after a failed attempt to cut every single planet in the Universe from their suns.
Line 32:
** Queen Pandora, a mysterious character that shows up out of nowhere may be this as well.
** Queen Celeste Corona of the world of Pandora is certainly this. She is described as having brought Pandora out of the Dark Age of War and having attempted to stop the [[Red Scare]] of the Army of the Fallen Czar.
* {{spoiler|[[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]}}: In the backstory, {{spoiler|the Imperium of Humanity (thousands of years ago) built a huge weapon to destroy a race of pacifist healers, the Avaloni. They also destroyed a space station, named the Neverland, that was carrying one million refugee children}}.
* [[The Library of Babel]]: The Librarian is an AI running the Galactic Library, which actually includes the contents of the Library of Alexandria somehow. The Patriarch of the Cathedrum also used it to study the Earth, which shouldn't be possible.
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: A really random example. Right at the end of the story, it is revealed that it is the Librarian telling the story. It does explain the [[Expospeak]] though.
