The Apocalypse Troll: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

** When humans first found out that Trolls were cloned human [[Brain In A Jar|cyborgs]] they set a trap to isolate and rescue a few of them. The Trolls slaughtered the peaceful envoys attempting to make contact, even though it was clear that they were completely outgunned by said envoys' military guards. They just tried to kill as many as they could before being taken out themselves.

* [[See You in Hell]]: literally Captain Onslow's last words, spoken to Ludmilla as the ''Defender'' [[Ramming Always Works|rams the Troll dreadnaught]]. Both ships are completely annihilated in a huge nuclear fireball.

* [[Sole Survivor]]: Ludmilla and the Troll are the only survivors of a pair of [[Standard Sci Fi Fleet]] battle groups that spent about a month (subjective time, at least, considering that they spent most of that time traveling at relativistic speeds) wiping each other out both before and after they [[Time Travel|went so fast they went back in time]]. {{spoiler|The Troll is unaware that Ludmilla survived for most of the book, however, because he thought he had killed her when he destroyed her fighter over the Atlantic. He only learns of her survival when she activates her blaster during the climactic final battle, an instant before she blows him to hell.}}

* [[Standard Sci Fi Fleet]]: The general organization of both the Terran Navy and the Kangas. The shorthanded human battle group is led by the ''[[The Battlestar|Defender]]'', which ends up facing off against a Kanga carrier and dreadnaught, after both sides' cruisers and destroyers were destroyed before the big ships managed to [[Time Travel|defy Einstein]].

* [[Temporal Paradox]]: After some early discussion, the question is tabled in favor of more practical matters. The upshot is that it doesn't really matter; even if Ludmilla's home timeline is safe, she and her comrades would fight just as hard to save ''another'' Earth from what the Kangas and their cyborg slaves would do to it.

* [[Terminator Twosome]]: Ludmilla and the Troll, each the [[Sole Survivor|sole survivor]] of their respective forces.
