Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Vorus's unyielding commitment to countering the Cybermen through the Sky Striker, which becomes a critical plot element in Episode 19 when Kellman exposes the plan under duress. It establishes Vorus's reckless leadership as a causal force that shapes the Vogan leadership's crisis of trust.
