* SmallSecludedWorld: The silo's residents spend their entire lives within its confines except for an unlucky few who are sent Outside to "clean." The only things they know about the outside world are that it is a desolate DeathWorld that once used to be habitable and may someday be so again for future generations. As far as they're aware, the silo is the last remaining bastion of the human race. [[spoiler: Nearly all of this turns out to be lies.]]

* StarCrossedLovers: Played with in the case of [[MeaningfulName Juliette]] and Lukas. They hit it off after a chance meeting and impromptu stargazing session, and only see each other a few more times after that. After that, they're both kind of swooning for each other but try to play it cool. They even come from rival factions (IT and Mechanical). Then plot happens, and the trope is subverted when they both discover the rewarding parts of a long-distance relationship and get to know each other intimately at a comfortable pace (as a consequence of trying to keep each other sane over the radio in frankly bat-shit situations.)
** The novella in which they meet has each chapter preceded by lines from Shakespeare's ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
