* StealthInSpace: The first three chapters combine ''Franchise/StarTrek'' cloaking devices and their known flaws from the shows with misdirection. Brokosh gets a fleet of Birds-of-Prey into the Sol system to attack Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards by having his own [=BoP=] the ''mupwI[='=]'' generate an oversize warp field to pretend to be a Starfleet battleship. This mostly hides the minor fluctuations produced by the other [=BoPs=] using cloaks at warp (Series/DS9: "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E01TheSearchPartI The Search, Part I]]") in the interference. One [=BoP=] has to fall out of the formation due to reactor trouble and is spotted because of a gravitic anomaly it's giving off (implied to be the ArtificialGravity). Its captain chooses to [[spoiler:blow away the shuttle that picked it up]], blowing the KDF's cover (but not soon enough to do any good).

* ArtificialLimbs: Lieutenant Tiyerissel sh'Kreem has an artificial leg after losing his real one when his old ship, the USS ''Hamburg'', came under attack by the IKS ''[=QarchetvI’=]''. He was assigned to the listening post because the prosthetic didn't knit properly, leaving him in frequent pain.

* ChekhovsGun: A mention in the second part of chapter one that the IKS ''[=Hegh'QeDp=]'' is having engine trouble and has to drop out of the formation of Birds-of-Prey. [[spoiler:It is later discovered by the listening post after blowing up sh'Kreem and Bikog, allowing them to alert Earth that the Klingons are coming.]]

* ItsProbablyNothing: Played with. In the first two chapters the crew of Starfleet Listening Post 204RT pick up subspace anomalies, and Yasmin Sherazi is insistent that there's something going on despite the fact the others think there's just a problem with the warp drive on the USS ''[=DeWitt=]'', a ship which was not on the schedule.[[note]]The joke being that the ''[=DeWitt=]'' is really Brokosh's Bird-of-Prey generating an oversize warp field to mimic a ''Typhoon''-class.[[/note]] [=OS1=]. Bikog gets really hyper when he insists there's nothing there. But then Kybok spots a tachyon burst in the logs and Lt. sh'Kreem decides to take the listening post's shuttle out for a look-see.

Added DiffLines:

* HeroDoesPublicService: One {{infodump}} mentions that Brokosh started a sort of community center in one of the slums on the fringes of First City on Qo'noS with two other KDF-aligned Lethean mercenaries and a Romulan Republic officer named Makus. Unfortunately he also doesn't think it'll do a whole lot of good without some help from the Klingon High Council.

* SurprisePregnancy: A one-shot MACO named Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Haellh mentions to Admiral Riker that she's six weeks pregnant. Another MACO, Petty Officer Freeman, complains about her not saying anything, but Haellh says she herself only found out a few hours earlier.
