* Shannon Foraker's missile fire control system is called [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Moriarty]]. When the Grand Alliance happens, and [[GadgeteerGenius Shannon and Sonja]] start working together, their new combined system is called [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Mycroft]]. As for why Shannon named the systems after characters from it, see quote [[note]]"Sir, why did Admiral Foraker call it 'Moriarty'? I've been trying to figure it out for weeks now."

'Detective stories,' he called them. Apparently this 'Moriarty' was some kind of mastermind character in one of them." He shrugged.
"Mastermind," the chief of staff repeated, then chuckled. "Well, I guess that does make sense, in a way, doesn't it?"[[/note]]
