Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s initial negotiation with the Animus, where he bluffs about TARDIS secrets (cand_evt_scene_85c251eababf79c2_01), parallels his later negotiation with the Zarbi, where he bluffs about Menoptra invasion plans (cand_evt_scene_665a0c1de6d85e30_01). Both scenes show the Doctor using deception to protect his group."
