Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Rodan's command to raise the transduction barrier in Part 2 (in response to the Vardan threat) foreshadows her later role under hypnosis in Part 6, where she contributes to assembling the Demat gun. Her institutional authority (Space Traffic Control) is co-opted in both instances, first as a defender and later as an unwitting tool."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Rodan's presence in Space Traffic Control begins as a moment of institutional perseverance (Part 2) and evolves into a moment of manipulation (Part 6), where her role is reduced to a tool of the Doctor's plan. This mirrors the broader theme of institutional complicity in the conflict.
