Line 27:
The Imperials and the Federation agents leave Andrecia. Elana finds parting difficult, but necessary because her love for Georyn cannot be fully realized without jeopardizing the Federation's policies.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Non-Interference Clause]]: The Federation's policy of non-interference. This book was partly published due to the fact that Engdahl did not like how the Prime Directive was handled in Star Trek.
** The way the clause is treated almost read s like deconstruction. Federation agents specifically learn a technique which makes them ''more'' vulnerable because of it!
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Disposable Woman]]: Ilura gets killed just so that Elana can take her place.
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Elana, which comes dangerously close to [[Chickification]], though she is no fighter o begin with.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: the treatment of Andrecians by the Empire is eerily siimilar to treatment of Native Americans.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Elana, basically by order, but [[Interrupted Suicide|she doesn't die]].
* [[The Dung Ages]]: Andrecia, what with the king killing people on a whim and people in the villages massively suffering. And this is ''before'' [[The Empire]] shows up.
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* [[Humans Are Psychic in The Future]]: Elana.
* [[Human Sacrifice]]: Elana, intended.
* [[Interrupted Suicide]]: Elana's suicide is prevented by Georyn by stopping the rocks mid-air. Since this convinced the Empire to let him and Elana go, this also counts as [[Happily
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Elana and Geory. See [[Star
* [[Jade
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: most of the Anrecian charachters. Elana also is close.
* [[Magic Feather]]: The stone Elana gives Georyn to concentrate his innate abilities.
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
* [[Skilled but Naive]]: Elana.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: idealistic, but not jade-colored. Naivete wil get you into trouble, but being a cynical unbeliever (like [[The Empire]]) will outright ruin you.
* [[Star
* [[Superweapon Surprise]]: Invoked In-Universe. The whole plan for the expedition was to make Imperials ''think'' many people on Andricia have mental superpowers.
** [[Unintentional Backup Plan]]: which is achieved in a completely different fashion then anticipated.
