Trivia

• This episode occurs one day after the previous episode.
  • The title of this episode combines with the prior episode's title, Fax, to make "Fax Machine," to signify this episodes continues directly after it.
• The repair robot's appearance is an intentional reference to Pink from WarGames and a subtle one to June as she appeared in Classic Season 1 with the Mark V helmet and CQB chest plate.
• This episode reintroduces the guards of Outpost High Ground from Major Malfunction and WarGames, occurring sometime before both series. Blankslate_GG reprises his role as O'Brien from the latter.
• This episode also introduces Jasper as the original captain of High Ground before being killed by Emery.
  • He was originally planned to appear in Major Malfunction, to be introduced in its unrealized fourth episode with Blankslate_GG providing his voice, though he was to be established as always having been there via retcon and be the same rank as Collins and Jones. Regardless, Blankslate_GG did indeed provide Jasper's voice in this episode over ten years after this scrapped appearance, albeit with different voice direction.
• Revoltge and TheIdsStudios reprise their roles as Emery and Prim respectively from the Classic series.
• This is the last episode in which Syp provides the voice of Miller, with Blankslate_GG taking over the role starting with the following episode.

Errors

• The word "Premiere" is misspelled during the end credits as "Premire." Syp only noticed after the episode was uploaded, but felt it was not a big deal.
