* The warrior that stalks Susan around the perimeter of the marble City is described as a "Class 1 Voord Assault Trooper", programmed to kill enemies on sight, implying that part of the Voord assault force may be bionic or robotic in nature. | * The warrior that stalks Susan around the perimeter of the marble City is described as a "Class 1 Voord Assault Trooper", programmed to kill enemies on sight, implying that part of the Voord assault force may be bionic or robotic in nature. | ||
* It's never quite clear what triggers the outer city walls' ability to rotate. The novelisation clarifies by stating that there are sections of the marble that are pressure sensitive. At that time, the Doctor also notes the appearance of vegetation on the island, foreshadowing later events of the novella. | * It's never quite clear what triggers the outer city walls' ability to rotate.

* When the false key is inserted into the apparatus of the Conscience, there is a red glow at the centre, growing in intensity, until finally spokes of purple light radiate outwards along the delicate metal connectors. The entire structure blazes like a giant catherine wheel and self-combusts.
