Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The initial detection of the Axos ship sets off a chain reaction of military and scientific responses. In Part 3, the Brigadier's demand for reactor checks is a direct consequence of the ongoing threat posed by Axos, now complicated by the Master's interference. Benton's role in relaying this urgency underscores his continuity in the crisis.
