-> '''Taylor:''' Shit. Andrea's gonna kill me, isn't she?\\

--> '''Taylor:''' Shit. Andrea's gonna kill me, isn't she?\\

It's notable that Kinsey [[spoiler:stands by calmly during the whole diatribe]] and even [[spoiler:takes Andrea's side]] later in the conversation.
And then, [[DramaticIrony not fifteen minutes later]], [[spoiler:Taylor gets alerted to another problem she has to go deal with]].

--> '''Andrea:''' You listen to me, Taylor Snow. You getting hurt even ''once'' is once too often. The Brotherhood of the Fallen damn near ''killed'' you, and that monster in Seattle would have if Kinsey hadn't been there. And that's not even counting that damn Mathers woman in Chicago, the idiots in that gas station, that thing with Marquis, and …

* CasualDangerDialogue: Ned 'Crag' Hollows and Joanne 'Jazz' Sanderson have a little of this in the rescue scene. Somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]] due to the fact that she's [[ImmuneToBullets bulletproof]] and he just did a DeathFromAbove move that took out three of the opposition.
--> '''Crag:''' Hey, Jazz! Learn to share, will you?" [Grabs two men by their arms and swings them around in a circle, hurling them at their comrades]\\

* ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory: Phir Sē drops Taylor in the ocean right in the middle of a boating accident where two yachts sank with no survivors. With a hasty claim of amnesia, it's assumed she was the only survivor of one of them.

** Sergeant [[KinseyScaleOfTropes Kinsey's]] name was deliberately chosen as a reference to the different ranges of sexual preference in the story.

* MyOwnGrampa: Some readers were worried that Taylor meeting her alt-father would spark this trope. Nope. Just nope.

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Subverted when the victims of the [[BreedingSlave parahuman breeding]] program of the [[BreedingCult Brotherhood of the Fallen]] decide that some of them don't actually ''want'' to go through with the unwanted [[ChildByRape pregnancies]] resulting from their ordeal. Given that about half of them are [[TeenPregnancy teenagers]], this is actually not unexpected. There is also a HandOnWomb moment.
