* Don't collect enough voice samples for Danielle Sho to unlock Deep Storage before encountering her in the Fitness Center, and she'll give you an override code instead. What are some of the words used to describe Alex? "Pompous", "nepotist", and "[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Oedipus Complex]]". She ''really'' doesn't like Alex, and even grudgingly apologizes for insulting him to your face.

* There are multiple emails related to a piece of equipment called "reployers", which nobody on the station seems to know the function of. One audio log has a frustrated cargo bay worker complain to an engineer about an order of them that he has no idea what to do with. There's also an email from Dr. Igwe that has him profusely thanking someone for being given a Reployer... then asking them if they could send an engineer down to show him what what it does.

** This troper will attest that the Phantom can appear as early as your second ride. However, considering that to use the lift at all you need to travel over half of the station and defeat at least one Technopath, you'd likely be pretty strong anyway.

* Your apartment in the game's tutorial has assorted books you can read, and the game gives you a quick excerpt of whatever page Morgan opens the book to. At least one of these books is written in Mandarin, with the excerpt being in untranslated Chinese characters.

* If the player is exploring thouroughly rather than going straight to Morgan's office they'll be spending a long time avoiding dangerous Phantoms with only their wrench and GLOO gun to rely on and be desperately hoping to get a real weapon to help survive. When they finally get to the Conference Suite they'll likely be very excited to finally find a dead security guard with an actual gun, only to be blindsided when the gun turns out to be a Mimic. You can just hear the developers laughing at you, but thankfully they're kind enough to have a real pistol there too, just out of sight.

*** The first of these is in the opening area, on a PC that needs to be hacked, and it even gives you the replicator plans. It feels like a game playing a prank when you spend resources on what might be your first ranged weapon and out comes an obvious NERF crossbow, complete with the tutorial calling it a toy!

* During the helicopter ride in the intro, look down; you'll find that Morgan is tapping his/her foot to the beat. Why is this funny? The Morgan you're playing as is ''actually a Typhon''. Apparently dance really ''is'' the universal language.

* In most games where zero gravity is involved, the player's character catches themselves on walls or generally just floats around without much problem as more of a gameplay set dressing than anything else. Here? Well, [[ShmuckBait don't boost too hard into that wall]] or Morgan (and thus the player) can very well [[RealityEnsues hurt or even kill themselves]] by forgetting that [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou momentum in zero-G doesn't stop.]]
