Notes

  • "Dirt eater" is a derogatory term for a Tauron.
  • Joseph is seen for the first time with the lighter that, according to his son William, he always carried with him into court when arguing cases. Nearly sixty years later, William lends the same lighter to his own son for good luck before a key battle (TRS: "The Hand of God").
  • Black-and-white film of atrocity victims from the Tauron Civil War is taken (at least in part) from footage of bodies discovered in Nazi concentration camps by Allied forces at the end of World War II[3]

Analysis

  • After being gunned down in New Cap City, Olaf complains that he had been working on his avatar inside the game for five years. This puts a minimum age on the game, and possibly approximates the age of holoband technology.

Questions

Official Statements

Noteworthy Dialogue

  • Nestor stands alongside Olaf in the Slash & Cut bar in New Cap City, challenging Zoe-A:
Nestor: You look nothing like Zoe Graystone. Whoever programmed you was a hack.
