• This adventure is a reference to the term "self-transforming machine elves" coined by the writer and philosopher Terence McKenna in his writings about Dimethyltryptamine. Dimethyltryptamine, also know as DMT, is a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Terence McKenna believed that one under the influence of DMT is able to see and communicate with self-transforming machine elves. The intense looking man in this adventure may be a man under the influence of DMT, or may possibly be a reference to Terence McKenna himself.
• This adventure may also be a reference to The Matrix movie trilogy, in which Keanu Reeves as Neo faces off against Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith, a self-replicating program (fighting for machine dominance). This is probably also a nod to the fact that Weaving also plays Elrond (an high "elf") in Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
