* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The Diviner is hiding the existence of the USS ''Protostar'' from Gwyn because he does not want the ideals of the Federation affecting her judgement before she is ready. When Drednok says the ship's name in her presence, revealing that he's always known it was on Tars Lemora, the robot sardonically tells her that this is what her father been trying to find.

* TranslatorMicrobes: Tars Lemora has outlawed their use, as it keeps the prisoners from coordinating in anything other than the most basic of ways. Gwyn serves as a living universal translator, knowing every language the prisoners speak. Zero, meanwhile, can bypass the problem by communicating telepathically. Once Dal and Rok-Tahk find a Starfleet commbadge, communication is no longer an issue.

Added DiffLines:

* FallingIntoTheCockpit: None of the characters have any experience with Federation technology, so their maiden flight of the ''Protostar'' is largely based on the most obvious controls they can decipher at a glance. Zero even admits to having almost no idea what they're doing, though they pick up basic maneuvering well enough. When it comes to firing weapons, they luck out when Murf lands on the panel responsible for that subsystem.


Added DiffLines:

* WeaponizedExhaust: When he's grabbed by Drednok and about to be killed, Dal communicates to Zero to turn the ship sideways. The act of doing so fires a maneuvering thruster that sends Drednok flying, causing him to drop Dal in the process.

* ApologeticAttacker: Rok-Tahk apologizes profusely to Gwyn after restraining her, and this is after about a minute of Gwyn trying to kill all of them.



* HostageSituation: Dal suggests taking Gwyn hostage to escape from Drednok, which Zero initially rejects but Jankom decides is a great idea, forcing everyone else to go along with it. Taking her hostage ultimately proves to be redundant, however, as the ship itself is of far greater value to the Diviner and his unwillingness to damage it is what allows them to escape.
