-->'''Avon:''' But that's exactly what will happen!
-->''[later]''
-->'''Vila:''' What was all that about? Everything is running smoothly.
-->'''Blake:''' That was because everything was balanced before the computers went off line. Try and adjust something, and you unbalance something else. Try and adjust that, you unbalance two more and before you know what's happened, the ship is out of control.

Added DiffLines:

* PlotDemandedManualMode: Zen switches itself off rather than pilot the Liberator through a Forbidden Zone. Jenna has to do the job manually, but it's pointed out by Avon that the Liberator is designed for computer control, so this trope will get them killed if they don't get the computer back on-line, due to cumulative minor errors by the pilot.

* BaitAndSwitch: Farren appears to be a typical ObstructiveBureaucrat and Kayn a more sympathetic character when he insists on teleporting over to the Liberator despite Farren's protests. But instead of a doctor whose only concern is for his patient, Kayn is shown to be an egotistical Federation supporter who's completely indifferent to whether or not Gan survives. Kayn's differences with Farren is instead due to his dislike of the stationmaster telling him what he should do.
