Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and now belongs in YMMV. In Universe examples don't belong.


* ScatterbrainedSenior: Irma. She claims to be "sharp as a tack", and she almost unravels Andrews' plan once or twice, but the plot rests on her seeming to have forgotten all about the destruction of Earth despite this being CommonKnowledge. Her AmbiguousDisorder may not just be dementia but something more mystical, considering that her obsession with Earth seems connected to her mystical link with Norton.

Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* GrumpyBear: Andrews. Norton, too, but not to the same degree -- he's still willing to admit he finds some of the tourist attractions they fly past "pretty".

** ILoveNuclearPower: There is no way "radiation" could possibly have caused changes as extreme as giving the planet Venus a ring or Mars a SicklyGreenGlow, but Irma comes to accept it.

The Shill is being merged into The Con per TRS


** Just at the moment Irma is about to PullTheThread and expose Andrews and Norton's con job, [=RB29=] suddenly comes up with a detailed story about how a "solar event" caused all of the discrepancies between the Sol and Emphor systems, having come to the decision to become TheShill rather than expose them.

* NotHisSled: The [[AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame whole point]] of the original story is that Emphor III was EarthAllAlong. This time, we are explicitly told that Earth's total destruction is a basic, known fact, a la "[[Literature/AChristmasCarol Marley was dead]]", and moreover told that this is a setting where [[GreatBigLibraryOfEverything humans have exhaustively mapped and cataloged the entire universe]]. Aside from the superficial similarity of being the third of nine planets, with one moon -- which is what Andrews was searching for in the database -- Emphor III ''cannot'' be Earth. [[AmbiguousEnding And yet...]]
