* MortonsFork: Captain Standish's way of deducing if David Sawitski is an enemy force from his planet. He stuffs a device in his mouth that brutally disintergrates him. Apparently that means Sawitski ''was'' telling the truth.



* SoapboxSadie: David "Running Horse" Sawitski preaches being one ''sixteenth'' Native American and when the boys supposedly besmirch "his" people with their unwitting theories he forces them at gunpoint to officially debunk all of it. When Captain Standish appears and opposes him much more violently, [[DirtyCoward Sawitski very quickly tries to migitate his ties to Native Americans]].

When the treaty ends, the first things the Indians do is raid Plymouth's stuffing mines.
