Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thematic consistency in Zorac’s framing of crises through institutional integrity (system stability, procedural purity) appears in both council chambers. The moral question shifts from external threat (antimatter creature) to internal target (the Doctor), but Zorac’s mechanism of justification remains structurally identical.
