1	Film/JamesBond [[RecycledInSpace in SPACE!]]
2
3	!This work contains examples of:
4
5	%%* TheAce: Daniel ''is'' a [[Film/JamesBond Bond]] {{expy}}, after all.
6	* ActionGirl: Sarah Eaton, telekinetic and Fed agent. She's also badass enough to [[spoiler:deflect bullets with a katana]].
7	* AliensInCardiff: Or rather, Imperial Capital in Salem, Oregon.
8	* BondOneLiner: (after pushing pursuing agents into a river) "Apologies for being a wet blanket."
9	%%* CeilingCling: Daniel manages to pull this on the bottom of a train, after being shoved onto the tracks. [[spoiler:Later on, Sarah does the same.]]
10	%%* DramaticSpaceDrifting
11	%%* FantasticRacism
12	%%* FutureSlang
13	%%* GambitPileup
14	%%* GratuitousFrench: Sarah is fond of this.
15	%%** BilingualBackfire: Daniel speaks French too.
16	%%* GroinAttack: Sarah delivers a satisfying one to Saunders.
17	* HowWeGotHere: It starts with a scene that occurs about 3/4ths of the way in, a proposal between the two main characters--which Sarah runs away from and Daniel shouts at her to stop. When we do indeed get there, it turns out [[spoiler:he was telling her to stop because [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he wanted to give her something to help her succeed in her mission]].]]
18	* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Chelsea tells Daniel this.
19	* IndyPloy: Daniel's response to being told that if he makes a jump without a gate, [[InertiaIsACruelMistress they won't be able to stop]], is "We'll figure it out."
20	* LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: Or rather, throwing a telekinetic into a sword shop.
21	%%* KatanasAreJustBetter
22	* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: During a confrontation between security agents and two of the main characters in a crowded spaceport, some pirates kidnap a random passenger. [[CrapSackWorld Tellingly]], no one notices, especially not the ubiquitous security.
23	* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: After slowing the freefalling elevator with psychokinesis.
24	-->"Shouldn't we be dead right now?"
25	-->"Yeah."
26	%%* OhMyGods: "Sha Iyhara!"
27	* PsychicPowers: the protagonists both have {{telekinesis}}.
28	* QuipToBlack: Upon finding the body, Daniel remarks "Neighbor of yours dropped by." ([[OvertOperative "That is NOT 'keeping a low profile'!"]])
29	* RailingKill: To a neighbor of Sarah's [[SignificantName named Reiling]].
30	%%** See StealthPun below.
31	%%* SpaceOpera: [[JustForFun/XMeetsY plus]] TuxedoAndMartini.
32	* StealthPun: WordOfGod says that Reiling's SignificantName was completely unintentional. See RailingKill above.
33	* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Parodied with a cover ID. Daniel gives his name as Martin Gary Stewart only to be met with an incredulous "And I'm Mary Sue Smith." A bit later on, they get the cover [=IDs=] "Maria Suzanya Stuvarta" and "Martin Yuri Stuvart."
34	-->Sarah: I see what she did there.
35	** Interestingly enough, the names don't work in Russian. WordOfGod states that a revision will call this out.
36	* SpacePirates:
37	-->Sarah: [[APirate400YearsTooLate Swashbucklers]] or [[RuthlessModernPirates terrorists?]]
38	-->Daniel: We should be so lucky.
39	%%* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Vadiri.
40	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Sarah casually breaks a pickpocket's arm.
41	** A firefight and raid on a pirate hideout while the protagonists are making a deal. (Probably {{justified\|Trope}}, in that the police were wearing {{red shirt}}s so who cares.)
