One concept in the Academic Agent lore sphere is that of "the trucks". The trucks are characters from Thomas the Tank Engine, they are aggressively stupid, numerous rolling stock that need to be shunted by the proper tank engines. If left alone they will break every rule possible and end up killing themselves in the process through their own adventurousness and stupidity. The Trucks represent the untouchable primordial unruly unwashed masses who cannot be saved and must be herded by the real engines into some semblance of order. AA regularly refers to his chat as being trucks, and regards most of society as trucks.
