1	'''Basic Trope''': An alert that's used when something bad happens.
2	* '''Straight''': The Starship ''Yorktown'' encounters an enemy ship, and TheCaptain sounds the "Red Alert" siren and orders his crew to battle stations.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': An entire fleet of starships go to Red Alert upon sighting an enemy fleet.
4	* '''Downplayed''': The ''Yorktown'' encounters an unidentified ship, and the captain orders "Yellow Alert" until it can be determined if the ship is hostile or not.
5	* '''Justified''': The sirens and intra-ship announcement are the most efficient means of telling the entire crew that something bad is happening and they need to get to their stations ''now''.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	* '''Subverted''':
8	** The ''Yorktown'' goes to Red Alert upon encountering another ship, but said ship turns out to be non-hostile, and the Red Alert is cancelled.
9	** While [[NewMeat Cadet Bob]] panics over what might be wrong, his bunkmate merely notes that their clock is an hour behind based on the Monthly Siren Test.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': [[ThisIsNotAdrill The clock is not behind.]]

13	* '''Averted''':
14	* '''Enforced''':

17	* '''Exploited''':
18	* '''Defied''':
19	* '''Discussed''': "You hear this siren? ''[plays "Red Alert" siren]'' When you hear this sound, you get straight to your station."
20	* '''Conversed''': "Just outta curiosity, why is it '''Red'' Alert'? Why not 'chartreuse'?"
