Continuity

 * The steamer Elysium and its crash plays pivotal role in the marketing and tie-in stories for STAGE: The Crash of the Elysium, however ironically, doesn't play a large role in the immersive experience itself as another Elysium, a spaceship, took narrative precedence.
 * The mention of Daryl wanting to sell the salvage he'd retrieve from the Elysium to fund future dives contextualises his desire to retrieve the gold ingots worth over £10000000 as espoused in the previous story PROSE: Enthusiastic Amateur Diver Shares His Discoveries With You!.
