* ''Literature/TerminateTheOtherWorld'': The NSLICE units are clearly based on ''Film/TheTerminator'', even though they're upgraded organic cyborgs instead of fully mechanical beings with an organic stealth covering. NSLICE-00P uses "terminate" instead of "kill," was captured and reprogrammed by a resistance force, and even sent back in time.
