* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseofScale: Mostly averted. Any time space is mentioned it's in thousands of miles or more. Played more straight with how many different aliens seem to run into Gee-Bob, though that was justified by the Orion's FTL system being "noisy."

"Orion: First Encounter" is a short children's book written by KyleNagle. It begins with a spacecraft, the [[TitleDrop Orion]] landing in a small bayou behind a suburb. Soon after it is discovered by two young students: Jake and Erin. The only thing is, they seem to know quite a bit about the spacecraft, and it seems to be made just for them. Things get even weirder when Erin's cat tells them they've been chosen to pilot the Orion.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Played straight with the ship's AI, which responds to their impending death with a polite message. Possibly subverted with the Techno Droids. It's never made clear if they are AI gone wrong or if they were just programmed to boil people into oil.
