Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Having learned Romana is likely held by the Swampies (beat f3b8f2940c0b3b49), the Doctor later confirms with Mensch that a blood sacrifice is being prepared (beat 4f40ac6353d799b0), showing the Doctor’s investigative arc connecting the two pieces of intelligence."
