* SparedByTheAdaptation: Agatha subtly goads Tarsus Beetle into upgrading his clanks, with the result that Beetle becomes too busy with proving he can keep up with the younger clank-designers to wallow in his grudge. Later, Agatha sends a message to the Baron about the Hive Engine. Consequently, Beetle doesn't get a chance to commit treason, and since he does not know who Agatha is, does not get killed while trying to murder her.
