Bilingual Backfire | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_16e362fb | comment |
Bilingual Backfire: A trio of Dracs on the way back to their homeworld don't expect the human protagonist to be able to understand them. He lets the most annoying of them know with a few choice words in Drac that they picked entirely the wrong human to insult. | |

Irrevocable Order | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_3994d78b | comment |
Irrevocable Order: If the station where peace negotiations are conducted will be blown up, this will also take out the only officer capable of stopping the fleet sent to bomb the guilty party's homeworld. Joanne Nicole isn't nice. | |

Sword of Damocles: The whole point of the Navi Di, although they do have to establish that they're fully willing and capable of using the power they have. | |

You Fight Like a Cow | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_43844bd7 | comment |
You Fight Like a Cow: Human pilots are taught to insult one of the most revered Drac philosophers to taunt cold-blooded enemy pilots into more rash actions. Drac pilots are taught that Mickey Mouse was a renowned human philosopher, so they answer accordingly. It's not hard to guess which one incapacitates better. | |

DeadManSwitch | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_556b5b65 | comment |
Dead Man Switch: Through an almost- Irrevocable Order. When cornering people more forward-looking than even Dracs, it's good to have a Deadman Fleet Command. "Blow me up and your planet will be blown up". | |

Death World | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_63557923 | comment |
Death World: Amadeen. Once it was just one more boring mining colony, but no more — a courtesy of War Is Hell trope. | |

Summon Bigger Fish | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_7c48b272 | comment |
Summon Bigger Fish: There's a whole species who has the "Let's You and Him Fight" approach ingrained in their culture. They're not warlike, but quite dangerous. | |

Cycle of Revenge | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_b7042372 | comment |
Cycle of Revenge: The Tomorrow Testament, and particularly The Last Enemy, wrestle with this problem. How to stop a war which is counterproductive for both Humans and Dracs, but whose populations will still fight because of this? | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: One of the main messages of Talman (Drac "Bible") is "look what your true goal is, then start looking for the ways to reach it" note yeah, it's Buddhist "look for things that really matter, don't be distracted by trifles" cranked up to eleven. Realpolitik is just one pattern in a tapestry for them. No wonder that in this society the renowned teachers of Talma are given a wide berth, the way Asskicking Leads to Leadership works in more primitive cultures. They lead powerful clans, and even when one is disgraced and sent to Penal Colony, the convoying soldier doesn't want to contradict him. But then, it turned out that even Dracs were duped and used by other schemers. | |

Rubber-Forehead Aliens | |
| The Enemy Papers / int_e78aa97d | comment |
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: The difference between humans and Drac (save the very fact that the latter are hermaphrodite lizards) is not so great and more cultural than biological in nature. Much the same for other aliens. | |
