** Listening to the audio logs brought its own class of creepiness. Hearing some of the crew members gradually turn into the Many, their own desires warping or falling away. The worst has to be Korenchkin's "Glory to the Many" recording... hearing a crew member's pleas for mercy turn into screams of pain before being silenced by EIGHT shotgun blasts? I for one still can't listen to that log without shivering. |

** The re-purposed protocol droids nicely subverted the [[Robot Buddy]] trope by, you know, trying to blow you up whilst still trying to be helpful. This troper remembers being trapped at the top level of Cargo Bay 2, low on Armor Piercing ammo and surrounded by the incessant whirring and beeping of an army of protocol droids.
