* SuperNotDrowningSkills: The Sharers have bacteria that live under their skin and help them store large amounts of oxygen. The bacteria also turn them purple.
* SyntheticPlague: what the invaders are afraid will happen, due to the Sharers' use of genetic engineering
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: One of the main concerns for the Sharers is determining whether the invaders count as human according to their philosophical system.
