* FlingALightOfHopeIntoTheFuture: [[spoiler:Despite dying before she got to see it, she created the plans for the few sane citizens of Veelox to colonize Ibara and restart civilization there.

* EvilIsPetty: He had no need to sacrifice the many dissidents of Ravinia in the Yankee Stadium, doing it mostly because he was irritated that they refused to follow him.



* VoodooShark: Naymeer's presence is meant to be explained by TheReveal that he was meant to be the Traveler of Second Earth who would mentor Bobby rather than Press, but this raises a great deal more questions than it answers. How exactly he was meant to be a Traveler is confusing given that before Nevva interfered in the timeline he seemingly died of tuberculosis long before Bobby was born or Second Earth became a territory. Press never referred to another Traveler of Second Earth and Naymeer seemingly has none of a Traveler's powers, being limited to things that any acolyte can do with their ring. He creates a flume, but this is implied to be because Saint Dane gave him the power to do so, and in ''The Soldiers of Halla'' it takes all 10 of the Travelers to perform a similar feat. He doesn't come BackFromTheDead like any of the others do either, implying he was subject to CessationOfExistence once Saint Dane was done with him. There's also the question of why Nevva needed Mark's ring to give to him at all, given the later reveal that Saint Dane created the flumes to begin with. Was he not capable of making a singular ring?
