 * Given his status as the Butt Monkey, Der Trihs' first name (John) may be one of these, too.
 * If you're in a decently equipped lab, you might see Xenomorph-in-a-Tube. And one mission had a teraport booth that resembled a certain blue police box...

 * And later Clone-Cone [//www.schlockmercenary.com/2019-12-26 made] Schlock look like a Dronuri who "got sick, then turned big and green and started smashing things". Schlock then remembers "a show about a big Bruce guy…"
