I Will Find You: Pepper has been searching for Owl for a decade, and the last third of the book is dedicated to recovering her from a museum.

Corbin turns out to be one of his father, much to his surprise. Unfortunately, once this is discovered, it means he effectively has few civil rights and isn't even considered a citizen of the GC, having to reapply for the citizenship he'd held for his whole life. Rosemary seems to develop this relationship with Jenks. He's the first person whom Rosemary tells the truth about her father.How else could you explain a sapient species that had overpopulated itself to the point of environmental collapse? This was a people that had coupled themselves stupid.” The Harmagians are mostly similar to Humans, except for their species' emphasis on manners, especially when it comes to the relationship between hosts and guests. Guests who do not behave properly are considered as bad as criminals. Super-Hearing: The Toremi have excellent hearing, being able to pinpoint an individual's voice in a crowd ...or Rosemary's offhand comments at the diplomatic dinner. No Such Thing as Alien Pop Culture: Averted; alien pop culture is shown or mentioned many times throughout the books, such as alien sports teams/games and music bands. She would never, ever understand the idea that a child, especially an infant, was of more value than an adult who had already gained all the skills needed to benefit the community. The death of a new hatchling was so common as to be expected. The death of a child about to feather, yes, that was sad. But a real tragedy was the loss of an adult with friends and lovers and family. The idea that a loss of potential was somehow worse than a loss of achievement and knowledge was something she had never been able to wrap her brain around.”

Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: All the ships in the Exodus Fleet are named after gods of the night or stars from various Earth cultures. Examples include the Oxomoco (Aztec), the Asteria (Greek), and the Al-Qaum (Nabataean). Actually Pretty Funny: At some point before Rosemary was hired, Jenks stole Corbin's scrib and replaced his lab notes with over three hundred pictures of Jenks posing while completely naked. He didn't say it to Corbin's face, but Ashby thought it was really funny (especially the one with the flag). Corbin tossed his scrib over Ashby’s desk. The thin, rectangular pad sailed through the mist-like pixel screen and clattered down in front of Ashby. Ashby gestured to the pixels, instructing them to disperse. The news headlines hovering in the air dissolved into coloured wisps. The pixels slunk down like swarms of tiny insects into the projector boxes on either side of the desk. Ashby looked at the scrib, and raised his eyebrows at Corbin. The Friend Nobody Likes: Everybody else on the crew finds Artis Corbin to be unpleasant, but as he's an algaeist whose work provides the Wayfarer with vital fuel, they need him and thus are forced to put up with him. Ashby privately notes that, during Corbin's often-vicious arguments with Sissix, it's hard to maintain the neutrality necessary in his role as captain, because he doesn't much like Corbin either while Sissix is his best friend. This is still the case by the end, but it's lessened a bit after Corbin receives some character development.

Kizzy and Jenks spend most of their time together and are each other's "best friends in the whole galaxy". Kizzy is the person who best comforts Jenks after the death of Lovey, and outright states that she loves him like the brother she always wanted, and that they'll be close forever.
