** Liz is at risk of asphyxiating to death, all confused and alone in a mysterious pod.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Before [[spoiler:the ArtificalGravity is turned off]], the instructions Liz gets on it explains it as switching off the pod's centrifugal forces. Centrifugal forces are well known for [[spoiler:generating artificial gravity on spaceships and space stations]].

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Liz was the only clone out of all the other damaged pods to survive the asteroid crash.]]



* YouAreAlreadyDead: [[spoiler:The old woman warns Liz that if the oxygen levels fall below 2%, she can't be resuscitated. When it does reach that point, MILO tries to euthanize Liz, though she's able to evade it and bring her oxygen levels back up again.]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: Downplayed. MILO isn't actually a self-thinking AI, but rather Cryosalide's company equivalent of Alexa or Siri. He's helpful... [[LiteralGenie provided Liz knows what to ask him]], and when he becomes trouble for Liz, it's because of safety protocols and failsafes meant to protect Liz in other situations.


Added DiffLines:

** When Liz remembers the rush to the hospital, other patients can be seen all bloodied. [[spoiler:Like Leo, they're infected with the virus.]]


Added DiffLines:

* JumpScare: Liz's hallucinations, and [[spoiler:the corpse with a giant hole through its face when she sees the outside of her pod for the first time]].
* LiteralGenie: MILO can do and answer almost anything, as long as Liz knows what to ask of him.


Added DiffLines:

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Liz hallucinates rats in her pod, and when she first learns of her oxygen crisis, she hallucinates suffocating to death.

** [[spoiler:Liz discovers that she's a clone and only 12 years old, and watches a video of the original Liz explaining memory transfer (or more accurately, copying memories). For a brief second, it also causes clone Liz to wonder if her love for Leo is real.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:The mission is top secret, as the public doesn't know that humanity will die out in two generations.
