* Imagine you're living in Paradigm City, an inexplicable holdout of civilization against [[AfterTheEnd the violent destruction of Earth's surface]]. It's always gloomy and cold, thanks to the thick clouds, not to mention [[CrapsackWorld rife with poverty and crime]]. [[OntologicalMystery What scarce history you do have]] is marked by periodic battles between powerful titans that tower over the skyline. You don't know who or what they are, where they come from, or why they fight (except maybe [[DarkIsNotEvil that big black one]]), and [[PoliceAreUseless law enforcement is powerless to stop them]]. But once the fighting ends and the debris stops falling, you go on with life. Then one day, [[spoiler: the city starts shaking, and this time it doesn't stop. Not until [[DeathFromAbove everything is entirely bombarded into ruin]] over a few hours. It even burns away some of that perpetual cloud cover. So you look up at the sky, and it's... [[EerilyOutOfPlaceObject stagelights]]. A grid of gigantic stagelights, a mile up in the air and stretching beyond the horizon. It's utterly impossible. And yet there they are, now falling onto the city. [[FromBadToWorse And then]], just as you're [[EldritchLocation beginning to fathom the enormity of this revelation]], there's suddenly a great explosion of light high in the air, and ''the entire sky vanishes'', and in its place is '''the computational substrate of the universe'''. At this point, there's a fair chance you'd be a gibbering wreck.]]

*** Language didn't seem to be effected by the Event Forty Years Ago, and there were presumably people of German descent living in Paradigm, meaning they would still be able to speak German in some capacity and keep the language alive. Maybe there were just too few French people left after the Event? The only character ever shown to have even a mild understanding of French is the woman that Dastun confronts at the end of "Winter Night Phantom," and she could have just been quoting the in-universe movie the French phrase originated from.

* As noted in his entry on the Characters page, Roger's status as [[InformedAbility Paradigm City's top negotiator]] might not be a reflection of his skill at negotiation. But it could reflect his role in the founding of the Paradigm project and in negotiating with Angel/Big Venus for the continued existence of Paradigm City; the two might even be connected.

** Not to mention, those Megadei were designed and built in a relatively short timespan by people with just enough memories to get them working at all, while Dorothy-1 was built over many years by a trained engineer who was working from a proven (pre-Event) design (albeit not a particularly deadly one--its gentle, dexterous tentacles and burrowing drills suggest that it was originally for use in disaster areas, to rescue survivors).

* "Cast in the name of God Ye not Guilty" can mean many things, but is generally interpreted as "He who wields the Megadeus, created in God's name, is not a murderer but an executioner." But it [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation may also be read]] as a paraphrasing of John 8:7--"Let him who is without sin/guilt cast the first stone." Schwarzwald's theme is called ''stoning''.
