Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Invisible Interrupter weapon's disruption of transporters and shields (cand_evt_scene_51b5115640b01655_2) leads directly to Armus's control of energy fields blocking transporter locks (cand_evt_scene_beb7bdaa8e993a8e_1), escalating the narrative tension around vulnerability to external control systems.
