Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cornish's enforcement of M3 protocol delays in Ep 16 escalates into the Brigadier revealing a conspiracy involving Space Control personnel (murder, H37 compound) in Ep 17. Both events center on corruption within Space Control but evolve from procedural obstruction to criminal infiltration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thematic continuity of institutional betrayal spans episodes. Ep 16's bureaucratic obstructions (M3 fuel) parallel Ep 17's forensic revelations (H37, isotope poisonings), illustrating how systemic flaws enable larger conspiracies.
