* When things go south at the coronation, one of the nobles demands that Priad take her to safety. When he refuses, she shoots him with a mini-lasgun built into her ring.

* The way the trainees outwit the Damocles squad in the end. Captured, they come to the stone the cheese is supposed to be put on and one of the trainees sits on the stone, waiting for the last of them, who supposedly has the cheese. Then this exchange takes place:
-->'''Priad''': You were supposed to put the cheese on the stone.\\
'''Trainee on the stone''': Yes.\\
'''Priad''': And?\\
'''Trainee''': I ate the cheese this morning.
