Don't Come Back If You're Not Sure
Song on the jukebox: "Mr. Aloysius Macnaught tried to make some point, quoting a lot of figures. But I wasn't listening. I took a good long gulp, pulled out a lot of change from my pocket, got off the stool and pumped the jukebox. There's a song on there: 'Don't Come Back If You're Not Sure'. It has a good effect on me after a trip to the Zone."

Special Suit
Suit worn by Stalkers when exploring The Zone: "At first glance it didn't seem like anything special, just an outfit like a diving suit with a bubble-top helmet with a visor. Not really like a diver's, more like a jet pilot's or an astronaut's. It was light, comfortable, without binding any where, and you didn't sweat in it. In a little suit like that you could go through fire, and gas couldn't penetrate it. They say even a bullet can't get through."

Book mentioned by Dr. Valentine Pilman: "According to some sources, the Pilman Radiant was discovered by a schoolboy. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name. Look it up in Stetson's History of the Visitation. It's described in full detail there. His version is that the radiant was discovered by a schoolboy, that a college student published the coordinates, but that for some unknown reason it was named after me."

Mixed drink Red mentions, named after the substance in The Zone. "I learned how to make a new cocktail at this bar," Redrick was saying as he poured more whiskey.

Brother, it's not something you should have on an empty stomach, it's dangerous to the health: one drink makes your arms and legs numb."

Dr. Valentine Pilman
Dr. Valentine Pilman: The Pilman Radiant is simplicity itself. Imagine that you spin a huge globe and you start firing bullets into it. The bullet holes would lie on the surface in a smooth curve. The whole point of what you call my first serious discovery lies in the simple fact that all six Visitation Zones are situated on the surface of our planet as though someone had taken six shots at Earth from a pistol located somewhere along the Earth-Deneb line. Deneb is the alpha star in Cygnus. The Point in the heavens from which, so to speak, the shots came is the Pilman Radiant.
