- More than two thousand troopers and three times as many Loonies die during the battle. Mannie credits the win to the Loonie's fighting spirit.
- After the battle, Mannie contacts Mike and learns the dinkum thinkum machine took advantage of the attack and created a story to "kill off" Adam Selene, figuring it was as good a time as any since the figment of his circuitry had to go someday.
- Mike asks Mannie if he'll take up researching humor when the war is over, and Mannie agrees. Who doesn't love reading knock-knock jokes?
- Using a laser beam, Mike burns the sensors of an attacking ship. When the ship gives Mike control to land them, the computer decides to crash them into the surface instead.
- Mannie heads down to visit Mike. There, he executes Operation Hard Rock.
