Original example was mistakenly phrased and counterexample was discussion in trope page. Revised to make the mistake's deviation from real life more evident.


* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: One of Nile's fellow Marines calls for a medic when she's injured. Marines are the only branch of the U.S. armed forces who don't have their own field medics, instead relying on the Navy's hospital corpsmen, so this is a common mistake.
** Not necessarily. Yes, it is true that the Marine Corps does not have its own medical personnel, relying on Navy Corpsmen. However, Corpsmen do deploy with the Marines, and train with their Marine units as combat medics. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Nile's unit would have brought a combat medic with them, or have one that they could get to them/meet them at evac quickly. So, Dizzy yelling "Medic" is perfectly within the way that Marine units would work. Also, her yelling that would trigger others to pass the message that they need a medic to whoever have the communications equipment, if they hadn't brought a medic with them.

US Navy Medical Corps does not have its own personnel for combat medical personnel, relying on Navy Corpsmen. However, Corpsmen do deploy with care. While every infantryman is trained in field medicine, culturally the Marines, and train with their Marine units as combat medics. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Nile's unit terminology would have brought a combat medic with them, or have one that they could get to them/meet them at evac quickly. So, Dizzy yelling "Medic" is perfectly within the way that Marine units would work. Also, her yelling that would trigger others to pass the message that they need a medic to whoever have the communications equipment, if they hadn't brought a medic with them. still be "corpsman."

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Andy is the performer, banking on her immortality and years of combat with acrobatics and lots of violence, while Nile is the technician who's only just recently gained immortality and was trained more to make combat encounters quick and efficient with headshots.

* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: Andy is the performer, banking on her immortality and years of combat with acrobatics and lots of violence, while Nile is the technician who's only just recently gained immortality and was trained more to make combat encounters quick and efficient with headshots. They both are a formidable duo in combat and prove that creativity and efficiency combine well when [[spoiler:Andy comes up with the out-of-the-box idea to get Nile to pretend to shoot her to distract Merrick when he's holding a gun to a de-immortalized Andy. They pull it off without Andy saying anything else.]]

* ClimacticElevatorRide: As Nile gets on the elevator on her way to the 15th floor private lab [[spoiler: where Andy and the others are being held for experimentation]], she tells Copley to get out before the noise starts. For emphasis, the song “Going Down Fighting” by Phlotilla starts playing in the background. Inside the elevator, Nile mentally prepares for the incoming encounter with at least 30 shooters while watching the floor numbers ascending in the display.
