* CruelTwistEnding: A spaceship investigates a distress call from an abandoned spaceship. While exploring it, the crew begins to grow paranoid and insane, one by one. The doctor tries to figure out what is going on, but is too late and succumbs as well. The alien virus that caused this is unknowingly sent to Earth. This does overlap with KarmicTwistEnding seeing how the virus was the result of [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humanity destroying the aliens so they could colonize their homeworld for themselves,]] [[HistoryRepeats with the doctor comparing it to how the wars with Native Americans ultimately caused syphilis to be carried to Europe.]]

* AlienAutopsy: The UFS ''Mercury'' medical officer Dr. Will Olsten performs an autopsy on one of the Trion bodies kept in cold storage aboard the UFS ''Rhesos''.
* AlienBlood: The Trion have yellow-green blood. Given that it is rich in copper, it is highly conductive of electricity.

* HostileTerraforming: The UFS ''Rhesos'' wiped out the indigenous population of Trion, millions of beings at an early stage of evolutionary development, using neutron bombs in order to terraform and eventually colonize the planet.
* MindVirus: The UFS ''Mercury'' receives a DistressCall from the UFS ''Rhesos'' and sends over a BoardingParty. They discover [[CouldntFindAPen strange writing in blood]] on the ''Rhesos'' bulkheads. The only surviving crew member is its captain, Milus O'Brien, who killed all of the others and jettisoned their bodies in space. The ''Mercury'' medical officer Dr. Will Olsten eventually determines that both the ''Rhesos'' crew and his ship's boarding party have been infected with a bioelectrical virus, which causes insanity, in revenge for the ''Rhesos'' wiping out the indigenous population of Trion. The so-called virus, which is in actuality the combined consciousness of the Trions, is spread by electrical currents. This episode ends with another ship observing Olsten's record and the revelation that they have already sent a copy of it to Earth, where it will infect the entire population.
* OverpopulationCrisis: Earth is severely overpopulated and other planets are being terraformed and colonized as a result.
