* ReadingYourRights: The Adjudicators' version of reading your rights is pretty close to "you have no rights" anyway, but Roz Forrester still adds her own spin:
-->I am obliged to inform you that your words, gestures and postures are being recorded and may form part of any legal action against you. Under the terms of the data protection act 2820, as amended 2945, I am also obliged to inform you that you and any appointed legal representative will be able to purchase a copy of all recordings upon payment of the standard fee. I am obliged to tell you that, but I won't bother. Just don't piss us around.

Added DiffLines:

* TitledAfterTheSong: ''Original Sin'' is a reference to the Music/{{INXS}} song.
* UnderCity: Spaceport Overcity Five was built on top of London, and what's left of the old city is referred to as the Undercity and occupied only by criminals and people who can't afford to live anywhere better. (In a variation on the trope, the Undercity isn't buried: the entire Overcity hovers above it on AntiGravity engines.)
* UnreliableIllustrator: ''Original Sin'', which introduces new companions Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej, features several internal illustrations to help readers get an idea of what they look like. For this reason, they depict Chris as he usually looks, which (due to a plot point involving MagicPlasticSurgery) is not actually what he looks like in some of the scenes depicted (including the one on the cover).
