  • According to legend, nobody ever leaves the Forge and lives.
  • An unnamed woman is Director of the Forge, back in Whitehall. The Deputy-Director works at the Alpha Facility.

In his early days in the British Army, he was friends with the fathers of William Dalton and Archie Brimmicombe-Wood (implied to be the fathers of Robert Dalton and Ross Brimmicombe-Wood from the UNIT audios). It's implied Crichton is separated from his family.
  • Major Philip Kirby from from UNIT audio AUDIO: The Longest Night appears as a Whitehall special envoy, not yet working as the Prime Minister's Press Secretary.
  • ICIS villain Sergeant French (from AUDIO: The Coup) was in the Forge. He's recently been promoted from corporal and transferred to ICIS when the story takes place.
