* SwitchedAtBirth: Bashir and the mirror!Female Changeling have a discussion that heavily implies that Odo and his mirror universe counterpart switched places via the Wormhole before being found. Bashir bases that speculation on how "his" Odo's deep sense of justice and fair play is closer to the mirror!Dominion's ideals than the order-obsessed ControlFreak version that exists in the prime universe.

* KilledOffForReal: A variant of this trope. In an alternate universe, The Enterprise's Chief of Security is [[spoiler:Deanna Troi]]. In reality, both Denise Crosby and Marina Sirtis auditioned for this role, but Crosby won out, hence Sirtis became the ship's Counselor. Tasha Yar isn't even mentioned in the novel.

* BadBadActing: When Sarina "reveals" her affiliation with Section 31 to Bashir, they think their acting job is working. We cut to a Section 31 redoubt, where one of the agents says Sarina's too wooden and Bashir's overselling it.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Even facing the possibility of the deaths of trillions and the end of the entire Dominion, the mirror female Changeling is dead set on bringing Bashir to trial... so determined, in fact, that everyone, including Bashir, was convinced that they intended to execute Bashir regardless of his defense. As it turns out, she considered self-defense an entirely valid reason for Bashir to have killed Odo, and his name is cleared in about five minutes.

* FeedTheMole: Section 31 is well aware that Bashir wants to bring them down from the inside, so they allow him to think he's infiltrated so they can use him for their purposes.
* GunboatDiplomacy: Both the Galactic Commonwealth (or at least their patrons, Memory Omega) and the Mirror Dominion, both of which stand by their principles at any cost and use threat of force as a diplomatic tool even while preferring peaceful negotiation. The Commonwealth's principles are new and fragile, so it feels it must defend them at any cost - the Dominion's are old and entrenched, and it feels the same.
* KangarooCourt: Bashir is convinced that if the mirror universe's Dominion extradite him for killing mirror!Odo, it will be for a show trial before they execute him. [[spoiler: It isn't.]]
* SinisterSilhouettes: "Control". Also an evident SequelHook.
* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler: Thot Tran's attempted recovery of an Alternate Universe ship from Tirana III in ''Cold Equations'' and Thot Trom's later penetration of that universe in this novel, which sees him hijacking a ship and then falling back to Tirana III...]]
