Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection ties the Master's sabotage of Logopolis's stability (a precursor to entropy manipulation) to the physical collapse of the city. The urgency to locate the Monitor and salvage research is a direct consequence of this act, escalating the conflict from deception to existential threat.
