* ActorAllusion: During a conversation with Dutch, Tali pauses before noting he "reminds her of someone." Assuming she's referring to Kal'Reegar, it's worth noting both Kal and Dutch are voiced by Adam Baldwin.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: After complaints of the ''Normandy'' crew coming off as too overpowered in the first two chapters, the author agreed and went back to do a few revisions of the chapters to make things more touch-and-go (although [[EverybodyLives Everybody (Still) Lives]]), as well as having Admiral Gravelston in Chapter 3 expressing his disbelief echoing that of said dissenters when interrogating Shepard and Shepard giving his own in-universe reasons for their victory to make it smoother.
