Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows the Cybermen's campaign progressing from a direct assault on a single space station (the Wheel) to a coordinated planetary invasion using a human collaborator (Vaughn) and a large-scale hidden army. The Wheel's air poisoning plot was a tactical strike; the warehouse full of Cybermen in London represents a strategic escalation toward global domination.
