Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The threat from Rorvik's party necessitates tracking Romana's movements in the Void. The tracking attempt exposes K9's degraded tracking unit, which was not previously an issue before the temporal chaos forced them into the Void.
