* MetaTwist: [[spoiler: If you've read the original, you'll be expecting the story to follow the same groove. But unlike AM, the AI Administrator is lying about nuking the world, and the Engineer discovers a perfectly lively town nearby. Even the famous ending line is twisted: "I have a mouth. And I scream."]]

* JerkAss: The Spy. It's really difficult to sympathize with his [[BodyHorror predicament]] when he shows little to no sympathy for the others himself.
--> He hates us. Whenever Medic is crying over whatever torment he has had to endure, you can hear Spy [[KickTheDog laughing]]. And when he’s not laughing, he’s [[BodyHorror screaming]].

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Discussed by Engineer when the Administrator offers the team a woman to "pass on their genetic material".
-->I feel sick all over again. The rancid meat in my stomach probably plays a factor in this. I may have been trapped here for more than a century but the thought of possibly raping a lady is still abhorrent to me. Especially if she’s been tortured just like we have. Can I trust these men, my fellow prisoners, to feel the same way?
