Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Troi’s insistence on pursuing the Ullian memory probe despite risk ('I want to do it, Captain. Something awful happened to me...') echoes Picard’s later insistence on saving the Moab IV colony despite ethical dilemma ('we must warn you'), both acts of pursuing truth and salvation despite risk."
