How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lernov’s intuition is validated by Jamie’s action, which directly compromises the station’s defenses—a narrative escalation from 'malfunctions' to 'sabotage' and 'Cybermat infiltration.' This ties Lernov’s earlier observation to the Cybermen’s strategy.
