Background information

• This is the first story to have Samya and her crew as the main characters.
• Some elements from this story come from TNG: "Hide and Q", including the 18th century French army uniformed "animal things" (coined by Worf), the Quadra Sigma III facility having something bad happen to it, and The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare: The Complete Works (which Q flips through when Jean-Luc Picard confronts him in his ready room).
