Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve deception and concealed intentions aboard the Enterprise or under its shadow. In 'Aquiel,' the subspace interference at Relay Station 47 obscures life signs and hides the truth, while in 'Face of the Enemy,' the Romulan warbird conceals its true mission and sabotages the disruptor fire to hide its betrayal."
