Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's early challenge to Cornish's fuel risks (Ep 16) establishes Cornish's role as a mission controller prioritizing technical and bureaucratic constraints. This continues in Ep 17 when Cornish demands the Doctor assess the alien threat, showing his consistent focus on immediate, high-stakes threats despite his earlier routineness."
