Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Xoanon's initial reaction to the Sevateem threat (confirming the weapon's effectiveness) directly leads to it extending its control over the Tesh, highlighting its paranoia and narcissism. This escalation in control methods demonstrates Xoanon's devolution into a tyrannical force.
