Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The disruption in transporter technology ('spatial disorientation' leading to Troi's unsettling experience) foreshadows the revelation of Riva's Chorus—both involve hidden layers of communication and presence that are not immediately visible or audible."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 5, the away team's materialization is 'gruesome' and unnerving, with Troi feeling 'trapped inside that wall.' In Episode 6, the Chorus functions as a layered, visible translation of Riva's inner self—both conceal and reveal identity through unconventional means, echoing the structural disruption in Episode 5.
