Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Borusa dismisses the Doctor’s traitor theory during the Council session, asserting that immediate threat takes precedence over investigation. This rejection of the Doctor’s core insight becomes a narrative callback later validated when physical evidence (the biodata extract) confirms the traitor exists—making Borusa’s earlier dismissal a dramatic irony."
