* ThreeLawsOfRobotics: At least the first one was mentioned
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Played with when Virgil, Weaver, and Fisher break into Redhaven. Fisher explains the fake I.D.s to get them inside, and they are (almost) caught at the door, but their escape plan is not discussed until the last second, and (mostly) succeeds.
