RussianRoulette: Jonny plays this with the former crew of the Aurora, which is how he wins the ship. It's an unfair game, considering that Jonny is able to regenerate as many times as he wants, and everyone else just dies when they're shot.

* CapturedOnPurpose: A subversion of the DamselInDistress trope; Col. Belle, after a year of torture (on the part of top rebel operatives) and tending to his wounds, eventually gets Adam (the Beast) to side with the rebels by arranging for herself to be captured by the Crown.
->"You must understand, sir, that the decision to allow my own capture was not one I undertook lightly, and had I failed in my task of converting The Beast I was more than willing to die for such a mistake. Yet I had to be sure that my efforts had been successful, that his full and total dedication was ensured."



* WouldHurtAChild: Gepetto. This man believes using adults as biocores for his biomechs do not function as satisfactorily as they would if children were used. That is why, after Dr. Capelli ran off with P1-NOC-13, he used children to create his Three Little Pigs.

* UnspecifiedApocalypse: The fate which befell the civilization that constructed Fort Galfridian is stated to be a mystery, and is never elaborated upon. The only hint given is that all communications from every other colony suddenly stopped at the same time.
