- Eldritch Abomination: A rampaging energy creature is created as an unfortunate side effect of experiments being conducted with people possessing telekinetic powers.
- Enemy Without: A group of telekinetics recruited by the CIA to perform long-distance assassinations are eventually stalked and killed by an amorphous cloud of hostile psychic energy that they apparently spawned.
- Heroic Sacrifice: When Ford realizes the monster came from him, he lets it kill him, causing it to disappear.

- Immune to Bullets: The monster is immune to all physical attacks, including bullets.
- Mind over Matter: The US government is conducting experiments with people possessing telekinetic powers, whom they employ to assassinate foreign leaders who pose a threat to the United States and its interests.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Serbian dictator Slob Krupchek, who is described as the "Hitler of the Balkans" due to his policy of ethnic cleansing resulting in the deaths of thousands, is one for Slobodan Milošević. Krupchek's first name is presumably short for Slobodan.
- Senseless Sacrifice: Believing the monster came from her, Rachel gets Ford to shoot her, but this accomplishes nothing since it actually came from Ford.
