This was one of those stories that had the reference checker in the back of my brain firing off from the word go. And all the way along, it was just fun. The little references in the background of scenes, followed by little elements like Lain's characterization (I'm still snickering at "Must update Galactipedia page"), screen time for Saya again, and so on. Penny was utterly adorable too.

Great story all round.
