Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the core conflict arc from an internal system failure (mechanical + mysterious power drain) to a system being weaponized from without (Cyber control). It reflects the Doctor Who theme of technology turning against humanity, escalating the stakes from survival to systemic subjugation.
