Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes feature scenes where Data reports critical, disastrous system failures to the crew. In 'Power Play,' Data reports possession symptoms; in 'Cause and Effect,' he reports core breach warnings. Both moments precede catastrophic outcomes and underline Data's role as an informational conduit in crises."
