Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection tracks Dalek 1's trajectory toward increasingly extreme measures to exterminate the Thals. The initial rejection of the neutron bomb (which had a 23-day timeline) directly leads to the faster radiation plan, illustrating the Daleks' willingness to escalate from delayed genocide to immediate environmental annihilation.
