Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's decision to send K9 to find Romana is a direct consequence of Zadek's earlier deduction (implied in beat_1b5fc194cec51761) and the Doctor's realization that Romana is likely captive. This decision drives K9's data-gathering mission."
