*This story was the first to suggest that {{Pratt|n= the "decayed" Master}} as seen in [[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'' was not the Master's last incarnation hanging on to a thread of life, but rather a spurious ''fourteenth'' incarnation, the result of a failed regeneration that should never have been. This idea would later be picked up on by [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doctor vs the Master (short story)|The Doctor vs the Master]]''.

This idea would later be picked up on by [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doctor vs the Master (short story)|The Doctor vs the Master]]''.
*{{Gomez}} is shown to only remember {{Ainley|n= the Ainley incarnation of the Master}}'s contact with the [[Cheetah virus]] very vaguely. This is an apparent reference to the variety of conflicting accounts of how the Master's struggle with the virus played out after the events of ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]''.
