* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Downplayed. It's implied that, rather than killing or kidnapping Wilmarth at the first possible moment, the Mi-Go planned the whole "let's pretend Akeley is still all well and good by having one of us disguised as him" ordeal in the hope that he would join them of his own accord...while however being more than willing to forcefully BrainInAJar him anyway in case that failed (which is what very likely happened to Akeley).



* FasterThanLightTravel: The aliens are said to be capable of it. "Do you know that Einstein is wrong, and that certain objects and forces ''can'' move with a velocity greater than that of light?"

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Justified. The Mi-Go wanted to recover the evidence Akeley sended to Wilmarth, and even after that was accomplished, they tried to have him join their cause willingly before resorting to force, which was already enstablished to be common procedure for them.
