Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Roskal's observation of Kamelion's mechanical nature undermines his faith in the dogma of Logar and the Master's divine authority, priming his objection to the Doctor's act in the bunker as a deliberate rejection of Timanov's religious interpretation.
