The episode's initial narration by Quenser was part of the narration given when Heivia informed Quenser that they were being partnered with the Information Alliance in the novel.[2]
This episode adds an original subplot with Milinda wanting to contact Quenser after the fight with the Oceanian dictatorship forces, but being unable to because Quenser lost his phone in battle.
This episode adds an original scene not found in the novel with Lendy Farolito. Given that her unit was deployed in Oceania as part of the coalition, Lendy's presence is perfectly logical.
