Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lernov's theory linking the Silver Carrier to the station's malfunctions (Part 2) provides the intellectual foundation for Zoe's scientific investigation into the rocket in Part 3. Her subsequent rejection of human saboteur theories leads directly to her identification of the Cybermat."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the suspicions planted in Part 2 into the scientific investigation of Part 3. Lernov's observation that 'well, they all started with the rocket' becomes Zoe's mathematical proof that the rocket must have been actively piloted. The discovery sequence follows from the initial technical anomalies identified in Part 2.
