* CassandraTruth: [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling Pinkie Pie]] keeps telling high command that their orbital fighter bays could ''really'' do with some flak-cannons. Predictably they take no notice.
** Averted when [[GodEmperor Celestia]] tells the TEC that her currently insane sister will be returning to wreak vengeance soon. They send a battlefleet.

** To elaborate: Most of the fic's WorldBuilding is on the forums, in the form of "extra documents" written InUniverse (for instance, Cloudsdale is described in a tourist brochure). There's also some elaboration of story elements in the discussion. None of this is ''necessary'' to understand the fic, but definitely helps flesh out the story.


Added DiffLines:

** It's less CruelMercy and more an indirectly-caused FateWorseThanDeath. [[CompleteMonster Not they they didn't deserve it, in any case.]]

* AndIMustScream: WordOfGod on what happened to Discord. The Traders sealed his statue in a small ship, put it on auto pilot towards empty space, and kicked on the FTL. A ship can ''only'' drop out of FTL if it enters a strong gravity well, and their are ''very'' few planets or stars in the ship's path. And Discord is ''still'' stuck as a statue during all of this.

* GoshDangItToHeck: A human colonel is described as wearing "an apple-eating grin" when [[NoodleIncident a crazy shore leave involving Fluttershy]] is mentioned. An odd example, as it appears in narration, not dialogue.
