Line 44:
* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]: We are as strange to the Moties as they are to us, perhaps more so. They don't regard humanity with fear, exactly, but they are confused by our biology and culture. Motie diplomats are trained to think exactly like the person they are negotiating with. Diplomates that think like humans are regarded as having gone insane.
* [[Hyperspace Lanes]]: Alderson points. The one in the Mote leads into a red supergiant.
* [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place]]: Inverted. Normal space is a scary place. Instead of Hyperspace being an unknown realm of the unknown, the normal space that is not accessible by Alderson points/tramlines is the unknown, scary place -- and that is where the Moties are hiding.
* [[I Resemble That Remark]]: The [[Shout-Out|Scottish]] [[Star Trek: The Original Series|engineer]], when the first officer complains about his accent.
