* BodySurf: Charlie's special ability: he can transfer to any nearby "shell" of his body if his current shell is damaged or destroyed. He can also ride the Sync network to get halfway across the world in seconds, as long as there's a shell waiting for him.

* FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: Charlie's backup from before the incident is downloaded to a shell, and ends up meeting his current self, who is dying and can't upload due to the Sync network being down. Past Charlie is disturbed by seeing Future Charlie so badly injured and near death, while Future Charlie is resentful of the fact that he's going to die and Past Charlie is going to live his life.

(Actually ''mahjong game''[[note]]a program disguised as a trojan-but how it caused mahjong game is actually used by a brilliant hacker to develop a bot-net, using any computer with the program installed to add processing power to complex problems like hacking a password. The problem is that the program is accidentally added to computers in the Chinese Sync facility, and from there to Charlie's empty shells, activating their base functions without Charlie's higher level reasoning. The shells start to fulfill their core function of self-preservation and information gathering, but the AI routines quickly start to grow more powerful by accident, and the increasingly networked intelligence becomes the singularity is unknown.)entirely by accident[[/note]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Charlie walks into the BigBad's office building, making absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that he's carrying at ''least'' four different guns, and then ''loudly'' cycles the action on his assault rifle before turning to the receptionist and asking where his target is. She tells him, and then high-tails it out of there very quickly.

By the time they're in a position to ''stop'' it, they reason that they ''shouldn't'', because a violent first contact with an AI that has access to ''everything'' could end disastrously. [[spoiler: Charlie meets with the AI and tries to convince it to stay hidden instead of making contact, until humans are ready to deal with it on a friendly basis. The AI points out that it already come to that same conclusion, as it doesn't want to hurt humanity despite humans' fear of it.]]
