The longer arc this connection carries

Both scenes reveal vulnerabilities: technological (transmitter range) and tactical (pulse rifles ineffective). Tegan's growing understanding that familiar tools (TARDIS technology, human weapons) are insufficient forces her adaptation, mirroring her character growth toward tactical innovation.
