* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse. After Brokosh becomes the third person in the fic to refer back to Eleya cussing out Tuvok's conference in "Surface Tension", Eleya wonders aloud if she's ever going to live it down. Brokosh says probably not, but he actually agreed with her feelings on J'mpok.

* LikesOlderMen: * {{Implied}}. The work opens with viewpoint character Kanril Eleya's younger sister Teri marrying a vedek[[labelnote:*]]the Bajoran equivalent of a cardinal[[/labelnote]] named Armen Aldos. Eleya mentions offhand that her new brother-in-law was a teacher's aide for her when she was in school (and Teri is four years younger than 29-year-old Eleya, which puts Aldos in his late thirties, minimum).

Her parents are mildly annoyed that Eleya ''isn't'' planning to marry Gaarra anytime soon (it's because they're already in violation of fraternization rules as a [[TheCaptain commanding officer]] loving one of her senior staff).

* KillAndReplace: {{Defied}}. In chapter 5 the possibility of Dal Kanril replacing Eleya is brought up and immediately discarded. Eleya has old scars that her counterpart doesn't, is a centimeter taller, and her counterpart was raised mostly Cardassian and her thought patterns are different enough to be a giveaway to Chief Corpsman Watkins, an empath.
* KillingYourAlternateSelf {{Defied}}. See the example for KillAndReplace, above. Just as well, all things considered.

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: Eleya brings up the Prime Directive, along with an executive order from President Okeg, as a reason why she can't give cloaking tech to the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. But she then cites precedents for breaking the PD to fix past breaches and in cases of humanitarian crises (something she's called out the Federation for ''not'' doing in the past), and instead gives the Alliance some tricks to ''defeat'' cloaking devices and even the odds.

Several pods are shot down, the dalin who joins them, the XO of CDS ''Tavracet'', crashes and dies, and the commander of Eleya's MACO unit breaks a leg.



* InsertGrenadeHere: Eleya does this to a Terran tank because they don't have any AntiArmor weapons with them.
-->'''SCPO. Athezra Darrod:''' Showoff!



* QuieterThanSilence: {{Discussed}} in chapter seven. Eleya explains that on a starship, even when everything else is quiet you can still hear the background hum from the life-support systems, but a drop pod is completely silent except for the soldier's own breathing until it hits the atmosphere.
* RankUp: Gul Morag is apparently set to be promoted to jagul and replace Mekor Dukat as head of the Seventh Order.



* SpaceMines: The Terrans lay a minefield ahead of the oncoming Klingon/Cardassian fleet. Master Chief Wiggin spots it and the ''Bajor'' is able to stop in time, but a quarter of the fleet ends up inside it and General K'Bor dies with his carrier.
