Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Slyther attack is a direct causal event that places Ian within the Dalek mining operation, the very site where the Daleks are escalating their genocidal core extraction. This physical escalation mirrors the narrative's broader conflict between resistance and Dalek oppression.
