** Before that, a semi-early 2-episode-arc of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|TNG]] featured a paranoid captain warning Picard of "strange happenings" with Starfleet Command. It turned out to be caused by a race of mind-controlling parasites that had already infiltrated every level of SFC's upper echelons, and was spreading out through the most prominant captains to be able to spread even further. Picard and Riker end up blasting what looks like a queen, spend the last five minutes of the show wondering how bad things have become... [[Canon Discontinuity|and then the entire situation is never brought up again.]]
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', when Garibaldi interrogates [[The Mole]] who shot him in the back, he is met with arrogant self-assurance: "There's a new order coming back home, Garibaldi. You can either be part of it, or you can be stepped on. A winner or a loser. I'm with the side that's gonna win." {{spoiler|The prisoner's confidence is borne out when friends in high places arrange his disappearance on his way back to Earth for trial.}}
** The very scene which leads to him getting shot in the back while trying to arrest a terrorist is a veiled [[We Are Everywhere]] moment.
** The slogan "We're everywhere... for your convenience" in the [[Super Registration Act|PsiCorps]] commercial carries a definite overtone of this.
* Trying to keep this from happening -- andhappening—and then dealing with it when it ''does'' get out of hand -- drovehand—drove most of the plot for the unfortunately short-lived science fiction series ''[[Threshold]]'', where the aliens sought to conquer Earth by mutating us into them.
* In ''[[Torchwood: Miracle Day]]'', the shadowy [[Ancient Conspiracy]] apparently behind the Miracle claim to be "everywhere and always".
** Considering they constantly thwart the heroes' plans, usually with suicide bombers, it shows that their reach is worldwide. Hell, one of their people is {{spoiler|working directly for a senior CIA official and kills him with a bomb when he's onto her}}. What's amazing is that they've managed to {{spoiler|grow from three groups of street thugs to this in under a century}}.

* In ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', the Inquisition (who are humanity's [[Designated Hero|Designated Heroes]]es) and the Alpha Legion (for whom it's a long story), both tend to make this claim, and they're more than likely telling the truth. The Deceiver and its agents would also have grounds to say this truthfully, if they deigned to talk to anyone at all outside of their cover identities.
** And thanks to the warp Demons are literally everywhere.
** Also, although they can't really make claim of it, Tyranids use Genestealers to infest the population of a target world, slowly infiltrating important positions. They literately have people everywhere.
