Fridge Brilliance

  • it is not surprising that Ebrahim Mlama, being a veteran of the Southern Cross during the Second Robotech War, would be able to speak fluent English.
  • The Invid Regency's blockade policy. While humans do manage to cross the blockades, it does prevent large armies from forming and threatening the Invid occupation.
  • the Purifier militia and its Coalition enemies. used leftover robotechnology once used by the Southern Cross. Not surprisingly, many of the troops were veterans of the United Earth Forces, like Itzak's father.
  • The Invid built major hive complexes at Earth's geographic chokepoints like the Isthmus of Suez and the Bering Strait. By building at those chokepoints, they could more easily block human movement by land and sea, freeing up troops.
  • How did the Founding Father of the Purifiers mansge to recruit so many to engage in ethnic cleansing. There would still be emotional wounds, both old and fresh, from the Global Civil War and the aftermath of the War with the Robotech Masters. He just has to stoke the rage.
  • Much of Earth plunged into chaos in the wake of the Second Robotech War and the collapse of the United Earth Government. is it any wonder the Egyptians resurrected the title of Pharaoh?
  • In Chapter 22, Hadid stuttered when he was talking about the Egyptians who were trapped in Egypt by the Invid blockades, including the Pharaoh and his queen. He did not want to reveal that the Pharaoh and his queen were his parents.
  • The Internet was designed to survive a nuclear world war. It is not surprising that it is still being used after an Alien Invasion.

Fridge Horror

  • The Purifier rape camp, with girls barely into puberty being kept as sex slaves. How many of them became pregnant as a result.
    • The very reason for the rape camps in the first place. What if the Founding Father of the Purifiers had been sexually abused by the very people he was trying to exterminate? And as such, organized these rape camps in order to seek revenge for the sexual abuse he endured?
  • The Purifiers won, effectively cleansing the Serengeti of their enemies. But the rage and hatred in many of them, including their Founding Father, is still there. Will they start oppressing their own people in an attempt to relieve this rage and hatred?
  • The privateer's nude pictures of her 15-year-old self being posted on the Internet. How many men are enjoying those pictures even five years later?
  • Potentially billions of Invid were killed when the Children of the Shadow destroyed the original Invid homeworld, many without warning./
