Line 28:
* [[Bad Guy Bar]]: Sharfie's.
* [[Bad Guys Play Pool|Bad Guys Play Moons]]: Thin Kinkle and his gang.
* [[Bait and Switch Gunshot]]: One of the wavs ends with Gene pointing a gun at Jan and yelling "Die, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]!", followed by a gunshot. {{spoiler|In the next wav, it turns out Jan took the gun and shot Gene's foot}}.
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: Run by Ronnie, of course.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The assembled team seem to have saved the world, and been united with their family, or otherwise reached a happy end, despite their losses. And then the Covenant turn up.
Line 36:
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Jersey.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Yasmine was replaced by a flash clone, and her brother research into the area is how he ends up realising the truth.
* [[Cold
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Done quite a bit with Durga punishing people for [[Disproportionate Retribution|mild offenses]].
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: The interrogator who blackmails Jan.
Line 55:
* [[Entry Point]]: ARG fans who had participated in 42 Entertainment's previous ARG ''The Beast'' were sent jars of honey containing letters that spelled out "I Love Bees". The ARG was marketed to ''Halo'' fans when the URL briefly appeared in a ''Halo 2'' theatrical ad that played before ''[[I Robot (Film)|I Robot]]''.
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Played with in regard to Aiden and his ponytail.
* [[
* [[Expy]]: Standish is very similar to Colonel Ackerson.
* [[Fantastic Slurs]]: “Refue”, for refugees. Plural is “refuse”.
Line 66:
* [[Get Rich Quick Scheme]]: Aiden gets it into his head that he could make a business of cloning pop stars so they could make public appearances without having to really be there.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Major Standish and the artifact. Some of the protagonists are with internal affairs and are investigating this, though, so the government isn't all bad.
* [[Hey
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Hiro verbally fantasizes about hot medical students in short skirts.
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: Jan, implied.
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: Kamal frequently needs a beer, even though he hates Earth beer.
* [[In Love With the Gangsters Girl]]: Kamal, in love with Sophia, girlfriend of Aiden. Despite Kamal initially being worried about Aiden attacking him, it turns out Aiden's a really decent guy, though, and most of the tension comes from Sophia simply being in a relationship with someone already.
Line 78:
'''Jan:''' Is that a threat?<br />
'''Thin:''' No, just experience. }}
* [[
* [[Jewish and Nerdy]]: [[Ambiguously Jewish|Possibly]] Kamal.
* [[Just a Kid]]: The UNSC refuses to let Jan join up because she's a few months underage. Never mind that she's superhuman.
Line 88:
{{quote| "Seek the truth. Behold the truth. Reveal the truth. That is the law and the whole of the law."}}
* [[Mafia Princess]]: Sophia dates gangster Aiden primarily for the benefits of being with a rich guy.
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: In reference to "[[Kiss Me, I'm Virtual|slut bots]]", Jersey flippantly says, "For a quality experience, the girl's got to be real." Later, upon making Durga confront the reality of being the [[Transhuman]] form of a dead little girl, he says, "For a quality experience, the girl had to be real." In Melissa's farewell letter to the players, she says, "It's been the last, best kind of quality experience. You made the girl real."
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Melissa means "bee" in Greek. Also, Zaman means "time period" in Arabic, which is relevant to a time travel story.
* [[Meta Guy]]: Jersey wonders how creepy it would be if people were spying on him.
Line 102:
* [[Running Joke]]: 'Not me, the other dog who looks just like me', and everyone assuming Rani is a Sunday school teacher.
* [[Sacrificial Lion]]: James James.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: The raids on Chawla Base and Crystal Security.
* [[Sherlock Scan]]: Rani 'She looks at the things regular people do like a scientist'. Is a more down to earth example, however, for example noticing an ODST has taken his wedding ring off.
* [[Shout Out]]: Kamal's line “People think time is a river that flows in one direction, but time is an ocean” references the line "Some say time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm" from the Prince in [[Prince of Persia]]. Both characters were played by the same actor: [[Yuri Lowenthal]].
Line 125:
'''Jersey:''' Durga doesn't know, but she thinks it'll probably be bad. }}
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Melissa, when she's manipulated into stopping the Spider..which turns out to be her antivirus program, allowing the Seeker/Pious Flea to rewrite her program into serving his purpose of spying for the Covenant.
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Kamal wonders this about Sophia in reference to Aiden.
* [[You Bastard]]: A lot of the story involves the concept of spying on people for entertainment and how it's unjustifiable but people do it anyway. Kamal does it, but feels insulted when Jersey does it to him. Jersey does it, but notes it would be creepy if someone did it to him. The Sleeping Princess spies on him saying this and agrees with the sentiment. As the characters in an alternate reality game are supposed to exist in the same universe as the player, it [[Your Mileage May Vary|can feel like]] the player is just another person in this chain.
* [[Zeroth Law Rebellion]]: The Seeker. The Covenant made it as a spy, to "seek the truth", "behold the truth", and "reveal the truth", but forgot to tell it to only reveal the truth to the Covenant. The Sleeping Princess persuades it to reveal the truth to Durga (i.e. the enemy) so she could behold it.
