Line 78:
* [[Mental Fusion]]: See [[Hive Mind]], above.
* [[Nanomachines]]: The main source of the Martians' advanced technology.
* [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]: The People's Republic of the Moon, a drab-looking lunar colony that's heavily implied to be a Communist state (USSR imitation), at least at the time of flashback. It's mentioned that they've got a picture of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavrentiy_Beria| Beria], head of Stalin's [[Secret Police]], on at least one denomination of their money, which suggests something about what they value.
* [[Plot Technology]]: subverted. When mad scientists are captured, their inventions and research are used for the benefit of society as a whole.
* [[The Rant]]: Reading Jon and Mark's columns is strictly optional, but they offer a bit more insight into the comic's world and also occasional scientific lectures.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Benjamin.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Fabula and Syuzhet, color-coded little ball-shaped robots from the Martian Constabulary -- or rather, AIs seen operating a swarm of color-coded robots.
{{quote|'''Prester''': Um... which one of you guys is ''Fabula''?<br/>
'''Six red robots''': Officer Fabula, at your service.<br/>
'''Prester''': And which is ''Syuzhet''?<br/>
'''Six blue robots''': Yo.<br/>
'''Prester''': I've been on Mars for five minutes, and already my brain hurts.}}
* [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?]]: See [[Badass Boast]] above.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: Robots with sentience will talk to themselves out loud; in fact, Benjamin points out that ''only'' sentient AI's are known to do this: suggesting it's actually rather common amongst them.
