Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jano's redemption and alliance with the Doctor in The Savages sets up the Doctor's later alliances with intelligent systems under duress. In The War Machines, the Doctor similarly allies with temporarily reprogrammed technology (WM9) against a greater evil, mirroring his collaboration with Jano."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events highlight the Doctor's ability to recognize moral potential in compromised systems or individuals and leverage them for liberation. Jano's transformation and WM9's reprogramming both underscore his belief in redemption through intervention, a core character trait.
