Setting and technology
Palnak's museum in the 33rd century
- There are few clues as to the timing of this story. Uhura wears a red uniform, so it must take place after "Mudd's Women" (2266), but before Arex comes aboard (2269).
- The Omega Galaxy is likely just a region of the Milky Way Galaxy labeled or classified as "Omega".
- Kirk orders a 'questing missile' to probe the planet.

- The Enterprise is said to make a "routine orbital descent".
- Kirk and Spock beam down to a random location without first scanning for cities.
- The planet's animal life includes birds and an armadillo-like creature.
- Kirk activates a translator built into his communicator.
- Palnak built his museum around the 2760s (500 years old), and he lives approximately in the 3260s (1000 years from Kirk's 'present').
- Rather than an earpiece, Uhura wear headphones with a built-in microphone.
- The December 2014
- Palnak's time travel method uses a 'sonic vibrator'. It is described as a 'disintegration and transportation process', which could be some form of temporal transporter.
- Scotty takes two shuttlecraft (including the Galileo) to the planet with at least sixteen security men, all wearing blue.
- The motif of a collector from the distant future retrieving specimens from the past was revisited in the 2014 eBook novella "Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations: The Collectors".
