* The people in the hardware lab created foam spray that expands and hardens a short time after coming in contact with air, named GLOO. It's ridiculously useful on-the-fly in smothering fires, sealing leaks, insulating electrical current, creating improvised cover, trapping enemies and even building short-term pathways or ladders. Their small-scale test: building a [=GLOOman=] and naming it Mr. Glooey [=McGlooface=], then egging each other on finding stuff for Glooey to wear.

* One of the scientists studying the Mimics tries to figure out the precise mechanism of their shapeshifting and comes up with three complicated and vaguely plausible TechnoBabble explanations. Some time later he adds a fourth out of frustration, which is magic.

* The corrupted Operators can be pretty terrifying to face, with their distorted voices and bright red optic sensors. But if you're stealthy in your first encounter with them, you can watch as one of them repeatedly smacks itself against a wall for a solid minute before finally altering its course.
