Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's earlier insistence on a 15-minute power window and urgency in configuring the heat exchanger in Episode 24 directly escalates to his imposing a 5-minute deadline and more aggressive commands in Episode 25, showing increasing tension and desperation in UNIT's fight against Azal."
