Worldbuilding

• The breakdown of Spectrum satellite 4 blacked out communications with Spectrum's Australian Agents.
• The Mysteron threat states that Earth shall be made a planet of silence.
• Cloudbase is equipped with oxygen masks.
• Earth's ionosphere is at a height of 140,000 feet and has a radio-resistant belt from which Cloudbase is protected from ultrasonic waves.
• Visual sighting from Mount Palomar indicates Spectrum satellite 4 is re-entering Earth's atmosphere with Captain Scarlet aboard at such a speed that it will become a comet.
• Kremer and the lookout initially believe the fallen Scarlet to be an astronaut but theorise he was "probably on some secret project" upon closer examination of his uniform.
• Kremer tells Scarlet that Captain Black drowned in the aftermath of the yacht's explosion.

Story notes

• Like most of TV Century 21's comic stories from the same period, this comic serial was not given a title in the pages of TV Century 21 during its original printing; the title instead comes from later reference sources.
• The two "stand-by" Angels who are launched to destroy Spectrum satellite 4 are never named.

Continuity

• Captain Black impersonates a member of Spectrum, as he once was, to get Captain Scarlet buried in a lead coffin on the sea-bed. (PROSE: Capt. Black Mars Expedition Lost! et al.)
