* EvenEvilHasStandards: Vader is himself with everyone but Luke, to whom he is as kind and gentle as a Sith Lord can be, and he's visibly acting like a father figure to Luke from the moment the first fight with the Xenomorphs is over. He even gets upset at Luke when he realizes that he hasn't been sleeping regularly for at least a month.

* HeelFaceTurn: Luke simply being near him is reminding Vader of how much he wanted to be a father, and he's shown an uncharacteristic level of care/concern for Luke throughout the story. The ending states that Luke is already starting to help Darth Vader become Anakin Skywalker again, and that he'll succeed in bringing him back to the Light.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Luke notes that Vader is acting very patient and even ''gentle'' with him after rescuing him, and knows that such behavior is massively out of character for his father.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Luke notes that Vader is acting very patient and even ''gentle'' with him after rescuing him, and knows that such behavior is massively out of character for his father. It's this unusual behavior that tips Luke off to the fact that Vader's not as far gone as most people think, and that if he's capable of giving Luke unconditional love, then he's capable of returning to the Light Side of the Force.

* BetterTheDevilYouKnow: This is ultimately (among other reasons) why Luke chooses to surrender to Vader and help him defeat the Xenomorphs (which are never named in the fic). He'd rather be captured by an enemy he knows (and has a hope of changing) than be killed by bloodthirsty monsters.

* BlackComedy: Rogue Squadron keeps a constantly updated list of ''Worst Ways to Die'', which they all enjoy as a little bit of dark humor.
--> The rather macabre document was circulated among multiple squadrons and ground teams looking for a little black humor to help them cope. Wes had kept the lead for three days with the entry ''Sat on by a Hutt''.
