The longer arc this connection carries

In The Visitation, the Doctor improvises an escape from a cybernetic ambush using wit and environmental factors. In Earthshock Part 2, the Doctor’s companions (and ultimately the Doctor indirectly) deactivate a cyber-bomb through sabotage, showing the evolution of his team’s ability to counter Cyber threats through unorthodox means.
