Trivia

• The marking around the healing mist vents resembles the ankh symbol that is a well-known symbol of healing in Tyria.
• The voice lines referring to the turret as a dispenser may reference the building of the same name from Team Fortress 2. Both are constructed by the Engineers of their respective games and provide healing within a radius around them.
