When the Memory offered Peri Brown her only chance of survival from drowning — becoming its god — she described her way out as "clear as the sign-post for the Twilight Zone, always so helpfully pointed out by Rod Serling, but less inviting." (PROSE: Shell Shock)
After Dwight Everson was taken for fuel by the Hervoken, Mr. Pirelli jokingly suggested that he may have been kidnapped by a Pterodactyl native to the titular zone. (PROSE: Forever Autumn)
