How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Price's initial report of a heartbeat-like pulse in the pipes (E29) is confirmed and escalated in E30 when Van Lutyens and Chief Engineer expose corroborating system failures (feed drops, impeller slowdowns)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The 'heartbeat' anomaly transitions from a mysterious observation (E29) to a concrete crisis (E30) when technical evidence mounts against Robson's dismissal of the threat. Price's role shifts from passive reporter to active participant in validating the emergency.
