* [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place]]: The trope applies in spirit. Deep space is filled with ''gas-giant sized'' clumps of dark matter. [[Generation Ship|Generation Ships]] and [[Time Dilation|light-huggers]] attempting interstellar travel thus get pulled off course or collide with them. As FTL travel capable of bypassing those obstacles has yet to be invented, humanity is effectively trapped in the solar system. And given that every planet, moon, and gap in space in the solar system has been colonized by the 26th century, they're running out of elbow room and are starting to enter a societal decline. |

* [[It Seemed Trivial]]: "Oh, by the way, your new uniform can turn into an environmental suit." {{spoiler|Mentioned less than a day after its owner is sort-of [[Thrown Out the Airlock]].}} |

* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Turns out, Nicole is an experimental Ubermensch and {{spoiler|1=Seamus is [http://www.quantumvibe.com/strip?page=172 a donor.] That [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] probably too.}} |

* [[Mary Suetopia]]: An [[Invoked Trope]] - Murchada points out that societies provide the greatest good for the greatest number in their dynamic phase, that is, when they have room to expand and resources to spare. Libertarianism (placing the individual before the group) can only be practiced effectively in such a phase. In all other phases, [[I Did What I Had to Do|necessity]] sacrifices the individual to the group to varying degrees. |
