Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zastor's earlier debate about using the Savants' terraforming technology to repopulate Tigella's surface (Episode 5) escalates into the desperate attempt to harness the Dodecahedron's power after its theft in Episode 6, mirroring the intensification of the power crisis."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation trace provides narrative cohesion by showing how the same power systems and leadership dynamics that were theoretically debated in Episode 5 now face catastrophic failure in Episode 6, raising stakes and urgency.
