	* In the novelization, Megan was the ''mother'' of the children, not the father as depicted in the episode. Given that character's name is commonly used for ''females'' in the United States, this would actually make sense. It is more likely that the novelization writer [[Robert Thurston]] assumed that the character is feminine.		* In the novelization, Megan was the ''mother'' of the children, not the father as depicted in the episode.

	Being shown an offer for his exchange from [[Kyle]] (written on a piece of leather or parchment) by [[Specter]], Megan isn't too pleased to learn that his son Kyle is going to trade [[Starbuck (TOS)\|another human]] for him (He even blaims his son to be egoistical, although [[Kyle]] only desperately tries to bring back Megan as his father to his 4 children). Specter manages to trick Megan into believing that he would be traded, even going as so far as extracting a promise to stop his children from attacking [[Megan's castle\|his garrison]].
