Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Bernalium's presence on the rocket provides the Cybermen with a clear inroad to attack the station. This creates the direct need for Casali's desperate overcharge of the power systems to destroy the Cybermats, a consequence of earlier decisions made with inadequate caution.
