  • Nimrod and the Forge were introduced in the Sixth Doctor story Project: Twilight. Their story continues with both the Sixth and Seventh Doctors in Project: Lazarus, although the latter story takes place much later from the Seventh Doctor's perspective.
  • Cassie, another character introduced in Twilight, was Hex's mother. She was murdered by Nimrod in Lazarus.
  • The events of Destiny occur over a decade after Lazarus, but in the Seventh Doctor's personal time line, Lazarus hasn't happened yet.
  • St Gart's was where Hex worked as a nurse, and where he first met the Doctor and Ace, in The Harvest.
  • The TARDIS was rendered white during the previous story, The Angel of Scutari.
  • Also at the end of that story, Hex was shot. Although he recovers early on in Project: Destiny, the wound haunts him again in Gods and Monsters.
  • The events of this audio directly continue to the next, A Death in the Family.
  • Captain Aristedes returns in the Companion Chronicles story Project: Nirvana and meets Ace and Hex again in Black and White.
