Added DiffLines:

* GeniusLoci: The evil entity is the "spirit of the planet", if Meridith's speculations are to be believed.
* GoalOrientedEvolution: The evolution on Dundee Planet closely resembles that of Earth, sped up a millionfold -- even the planet's civilization develops very closely to Earth's history.
* InSpiteOfANail: The scientist explicitly says that the planet in the lab is dominated by evil, while Earth is not. Yet, as far as we can tell, the history of civilization on the tiny planet is identical to Earth's.
* VampiricDraining: The planet's "spirit" drains life force from nearby living things, starting small -- with an ant farm -- and moving to progressively larger targets, until it attacks Meridith himself.
* WeakenedByTheLight: The being from the planet only operates in darkness, which is directly connected to [[LightIsGood its evil nature]].
* YearInsideHourOutside: Due to its tiny size, time on the planet evolves at a rate of eleven and a half days per second.[[note]]That is nearly exactly a million-to-one ratio[[/note]]

->'''The Control Voice:''' There is a theory that Earth and sun and galaxy and all the known universes are only a dust mote on some policeman's uniform in some gigantic superworld. Couldn't we be under some supermicroscope, right now?

!!Trope 359:
* DevilButNoGod: ImpliedTrope. Meridith describes Dundee's Planet as "A place of indescribable malevolence, a place of death and hate, a place without a {{God}}". However, he's aware of the Plag and states that "This creature on Dundee's planet must be in some way responsible for what I see there." The implication is that if {{Satan}} ruled a planet, this is what life would be like.
