Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 26, Hanson warns of the Borg cube's destruction of the USS Lalo, setting up the Borg as an overwhelming threat. In Episode 01, Riker and Shelby discuss repairs and the loss of Picard, directly dealing with the consequences of the Borg's attack on the fleet at Wolf 359—a battle that was foreshadowed by the Lalo's annihilation."
