Trivia

• The line "This is all Greek to me." is a reference to the character Casca in William Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' Act 1 Scene 2, when Casca says "...but those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but, for mine own part, it was Greek to me." The phrase itself means "I do not understand this."
• A stroopwafel is a Dutch confection consisting of two thin waffles with caramel syrup in between them.
• The line "There is no obligation for the universe to make sense to you" is derived from a quote from the American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson: "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you".
• The line "A payload in motion stays in motion... excepting a number of circumstances, of course" is a reference and a counter to Winston's line "You know what they say, a payload in motion stays in motion", which are both said when escorting the payload. Both are possible references to Newton's laws of motion.
