Mal tells Inara that the mysterious killer carries a thirty
ought thirty Rangebuster pistol. This is the first mention
of this type of gun.
The killer is briefly caught in Inara's home galvanizer,
installed around the frame of the door to her apartment on
New Magistrar. It seems to be an electrical field that is
capable of disrupting other electrical systems with which it
comes in contact.
The killer is wearing Flexitech armor. This appears to be a
fictitious brand used in the 'Verse, but in the real world,
Flexitech is a designer and manufacturer of brake hose
systems.
On page 11, Boss Moon tells
Tech Agent Mannahatta that a Blue Sun representative was tossing
the Diamond Quantum Core communications devices out like
Union Day candy on Boros. Presumably, she means "Unification
Day" in celebration of the day the Unification War ended. The
holiday was seen in "The Train
Job". "Union Day" may be a popular shorthand way of saying
it in some places in the 'Verse.
Mal and Boss Moon ambush the killer at a diamond mine on
Ares. Ares is one of the moons of Boros. This is its first
appearance in a story.
In panel 1 of page 18, Mal repeats himself a bit when
talking to the fallen killer, saying, "How many of you more
of you are out there?"
