As the title suggests, this is a bonus chapter, which I will use to highlight a few references and easter eggs…
I tried to tailor Itrix’s personality to match that of my caretaker
At first, I intended Itrix’s phone calls to be from me, the writer, not from Etarr
I tried to make Altamir’s character similar to that of Altair Ibn-La’Ahad from Assassins Creed.(A clear minded, ruthless killer with a heart of his own)
Extos and the other Humans were supposed to resemble the Assassin Brotherhood.
I planned to have Celestia’s name to come from Galaxia’s ideas, while Luna’s would come from “Mortis de Lunaris”
The line which Altamir mutters to Primer “Dáyna avruk…” Is actually written in Hungarian, backwards. (It means “You son of a bitch”)
The days left counter is an indicator for how many days are left until the birth of Luna and Celestia.
The conversation between Itrix and Altamir:
-“Well, here we are again…”
-“It’s always such a pleasure”
Is an obvious Portal reference.
