Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both the destruction of the Romulan scout ship in The Defector and the Romulan ultimatum in Tin Man explore themes of isolation and desperation. The Romulan Commander in The Defector is isolated in space, hounded by their superiors or circumstances, while in Tin Man, the Romulan Commander is isolated in commanding a doomed mission, leading to increasingly desperate measures."
