* [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim Why Don't You Just Shoot Her?]]: {{Defied|Trope}}. A second after entering the room with an AxCrazy lunatic, Greg immediately shoots her, incapacitating and mortally wounding her, while still giving her enough time to upload. As it turns out afterwards, this was a very good call, since she was planning on murdering him when he got closer.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking / FourStarBadass: General Hugo Pelwicz, who is able to disarm and kill opponents much younger than himself, has survived constant attacks by the Neo-Luddites, is mentioned by Greg to have amazing strength for his age, barely makes any fuss about having [[AnArmAndALeg his hand blown off]] by a sniper, and later still [[HandicappedBadass manages to fight back when escaping]]. A badass through and through.

* BadVibrations / ImminentDangerClue: Most of the blackouts in the building where Greg discovers Hugo ignore or are completely oblivious to the signs that the building is about to collapse, though he's quickly able to convince them of the danger. While he already knows the building is about to fall due to Celest-A.I. telling him, Greg also notices the warning signs himself when he goes in, and the increasing amount of creaking serves as a countdown of sorts.
