* TeensAreMonsters: Zac specifically since he incites violence and death as a power play. Kal’s willingness to go along with it makes him susceptible to it too.

* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: [[Mohs/SpeculativeScience Speculative science.]] FTL travel does not exist, messages take months to reach Earth, and while we probably couldn't currently build a ship with the scale and efficiency of the one shown it's certainly within the realms of possibility.

* GardenOfEden: the whole story could be seen as an extended allegory for the biblical garden and the fall of man, with "The Blue" standing in for the ForbiddenFruit.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Most of the conflict could have been avoided if "the plan" did not involve unnecessarily withholding information from the crew, or if the people who could authorize the disclosure of information did not require months to respond to messages.
