Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events feature Axo treating sentient beings as resources to be evaluated or bargained with. The earlier scene establishes this theme as a baseline characteristic of the Axon intelligence, which is later amplified in the Master's negotiation where Axo calculates value based on what the Master can contribute to its mission.
