Line 8:
While it lands very high on the [[Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness]], ''Hostile Takeover'' has several unique twists to classic science fiction formulae. For instance, in approved [[Golden Age]] manner, the main protagonist is a hard-science type; however, instead of nuclear physics or mechanical engineering, she is a financial analyst.
 
This work is [[Troperiffic]] in the extreme. Gleeful [[Shout -Out|shout outs]] abound to both classic and contemporary media.

Line 32:
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: Vesta Colony, essentially.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: John to CC. Having almost identical backstories, one would think they would be BFFs. Not so, mostly because John is an amoral backstabber who will do literally ''anything'' to climb the corporate ladder.
* [[Faster -Than -Light Travel]]: It's theorized to be impossible, but Marc can still dream...
* [[Giving Radio to The Romans]]
* [[Good Looking Privates]]: Commander Marc Davidoff. [[Hello, Nurse!|Helloooo, Marine]]!
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: Except for the fact that it allows peculators to siphon off your funds.
* {{spoiler|[[Higher -Tech Species]]}}
* [[Human Resources]]: Pay your debts. That is all.
* [[Human Popsicle]]
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Davidoff, to the nth power. Mac, to a lesser degree.
* [[Science Hero]]: CC uncovers a diabolical conspiracy...[[For Science!|With Math]]!
* [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: Nicely averted. Vesta-g ''is'' an asteroid, not a [[Baby Planet]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: Where do we start...
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Margaret, though she's pretty subtle about it. Later on [[Everyone Can See It|everyone gets in on the act]].
* [[Space Fighter]]: It seems like everyone in Earthserv is a pilot.
