removed: Tunde from 'what happened to the mouse'. Roxy's conversation with her father confirms that Tunde's escape happened in the past. ("I got him out and I own an underground bunker"). Further more, she and her father are about to go into her bunker to hide out from a nuclear war - if Tunde isn't already there, he's not going to be.

** The last we see of Tunde is him being stuffed into the trunk of a car, hoping that the driver is who she says she is. Roxy later mentions she sent someone to smuggle him out of a Bessapara, but his actual fate is never confirmed. This is most likely an allusion to ''Literature/TheHandmaidsTale'', which ends in much the same way.

Removed the token minority tropes. With 2 out of 5 Point of View characters are People of Color, it's statistically incorrect to label them as tokens.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Bioelectric discharge is a real ability found in nature (the electric eel being the most famous example), but in real creatures, the organs required take up large parts of the internal anatomy ([[spoiler:rendering transplantation to an organism which doesn't possess them impossible]]) and have inbuilt limits on the frequency and distance with which they can be used (the most powerful electric eels can stun horses, but only once every few hours, and only via direct contact). An analogous human ability subject to the same limits would certainly provide an advantage, but not enough to enable its possessors to completely overthrow all existing social structures.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Portrayed as the root of misogyny and human gender roles. For most of human history, this trope combined with men being physically larger than women meant that most societies defaulted to patriarchy. The emergence of the power means that, in places where violence was still a daily fact of life, the tables rapidly turn.
