Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Unification Part II, Geordi operates under Riker's command at Galorndon Core, verifying potential Romulan threats and questioning signals. In A Matter of Time, Geordi independently validates the technological needs of Penthara IV’s crisis (e.g., phaser drilling plan), again operating in a climate of uncertainty where data verification is essential.
