* AlmightyJanitor / EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: While Gallagher is "mechanical systems engineer", everyone calls him janitor. More or less his job in the mission is form of advanced space janitor and he's the one with superb engineering skills in the landing crew.
* ArtificialGravity: [[ShownTheirWork Most of it is really well made and researched.]]
** Justified, as the robot was suppose to be used as a navigator on the planet, which was also it's primary function and programming. All the rest was self-defense mechanism, which is more than expected from military-grade navigation robot. Also, it's stated almost from the start that the mission was made in haste, not allowing even to fully test whole ship, not to mention creating purposefully build civilian all terrain navigation system, when military could simply give one.
