- Every employer must have an Ood Licence in order to be employed.
Notes

Continuity
- Zach points out a mavitational anomaly. (TV: Wild Blue Yonder)

- Lady Drogba mentioned the Friends of the Ood, who have recently liberated the Ood on the Ood Sphere. (TV: Planet of the Ood)
- Brakow explains that the Ood enjoy taking orders, and also understands the red-eye, denying its presence here. (TV: The Impossible Planet, Planet of the Ood)
- Brakow is clearly robophobic, as he refuses to accept Chloe as a worthwhile being. Robophobia is widespread throughout the universe, such as on Kaldor. (TV: The Robots of Death, AUDIO: Robophobia, et al)
- Zach mentions his experience of Ood being possessed and killing. His previous encounter has clearly scarred him somewhat. (TV: The Satan Pit)
- Chloe interrogates the Ood's unquestioning loyalty. Rose Tyler did the same while an Ood served her food aboard Sanctuary Base 6. (TV: The Impossible Planet)
- It wouldn't be the first time an Ood has been a murderer. Brian the Ood was a famous assassin who worked for Lesser Order of Oberon. (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times, et al)
- The Ood are able to speak to Zachary despite being locked up elsewhere. Ood Sigma was able to project himself backwards in time. (TV: The Waters of Mars, The End of Time)
