Notes
[edit]
- "Shock and Ore", said out loud in an English accent, together are a play on the tern shock and awe.
- While Shock identified his hometown as Bitrex in "No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases", the Necrobot's Memorial to the Disappeared in "Anomie" included a "Shock of Polyhex". It is unclear if this is a separate person also named "Shock", or if even the Necrobot couldn't tell apart Shock from Ore, and thus wrongly listed Shock as the disappeared one with Ore's hometown.
