Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link ties the two episodes through operational tension: legal coercion leads to engineering urgency. Riker's presence bridges both events, from resisting a job he finds unconscionable (prosecuting Data) to executing duties with disciplined dispatch (engineering constraints).
