Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Cthulhoid space squid's name is a reference to H. P. Lovecraft's fictional monster, Cthulhu, which is squid-like in appearance.
  • The staff at the space station bear the names "Fillion", "Katic", "Quinn", "Huertas" and "Dever", a reference to Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Molly Quinn, Jon Huertas, and Seamus Dever, the cast of the American television series Castle. Artwork of the characters closely resemble those of the actors they are named after.
  • One of the passengers bears a resemblance to Han Solo from the Star Wars franchise. This passenger also utters a paraphrased version of Solo's famous quote "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side".
