Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 15, Data deduces survivors despite denials. In Episode 16, the Bynars are an invisible computing force — a ‘survivor’ or entity in hiding aboard the ship. Yar’s continuity here is in trusting Data’s analysis and responding appropriately to hidden actors.
