* A painted "LoneWolf2056" can be found.
* In many inaccessible areas around the maps, stock & un-textured models of goats can be found. According to the developers, goats became a running gag during development, leading to the placement of the models for fun. One of them is found in this chamber.
* The music played during this chamber is known as Testing Begins.
* The second part of this chamber is unchanged between Story Mode and Advanced Mode.
