Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Federation armoury assault (E15) escalates into outright tunnel warfare in E16, where soldiers hunt rebels and ambushes become routine. Gebek's capture in E16 is a direct consequence of the Federation's increased aggression."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The violence that begins with ideological rebellion in E15 metastasizes into literal tunnel warfare in E16, raising stakes and forcing Gebek to confront violent reality he once hoped to avoid.
