Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events involve authoritarian control and resistance: Beata’s Parliament stifles inquiry in Episode 15; the Bynars exploit control systems in Episode 16. Yar’s continuity here is in recognizing coercive systems and responding to unauthorized access — a direct escalation from political to physical control.
