Line 7 ⟶ 21:
* [[Friend on the Force]]: Bainbridge.
* [[I Can Still Fight]]: Maurice pulls off this trope with a combination of his stubborn, restless attitude, and a continuous stream of things trying to kill or escape from him and his friends.
*
* [[Neck Snap]]
* [[Not Using the Z Word]]: Well, the back of the book does use it, but said zombie-like entities are referred to as "revenants" within the story. Also applicable to the robots, which are always referred to as "automata". Both instances can be justified by the setting, and the terminology which would be appropriate in it.
