* HollywoodEncryption: When Aspen's party needs to send a message to the ''Courageous'' without the Hylarans knowing its contents, Tal uses a story that they have memorized as a cryptographic key. This is described in-story as a one-time pad, but it is actually a variation on a book cipher. An actual one-time pad requires [[UsefulNotes/Encryption a truly random sequence for the key]]. With a non-random key; statistical analysis of a ciphertext can eventually recover both the key and the plaintext.

* YouAreInCommandNow: Aspen is awakened from chronostatis on the ''Courageous'' to find themself in command, despite being ''1,467th'' in line for the position of captain out of an initial 5,000 people on board. They promptly learn that the entire awake crew died and they were the most likely to survive revival.

* CrewOfOne: The story starts out this way; until Aspen breaks several bones and has to revive one of the Friends to get medical treatment. The last survivors of the previous crew of the ''Courageous'' were in similar situations; but were unable to revive anyone else to help them before they died.
