How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Both events depict security guards being summoned to handle a crew member in crisis (Worf's suicide attempt and Wesley's evasion), yet in each case they are reduced to peripheral figures whose intervention is secondary to other characters (Troi's empathy or Wesley's cunning)."
