Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's direct interference in Episode 40 (destroying the ship) establishes him as a threat that the Cybermen must neutralize. In Episode 15, Vaughn and the Cyber Planner's discussion of invasion timing and control reflects a coordinated response to the Doctor's proven ability to disrupt their plans, showing the conflict escalating from a local engagement to a high-stakes strategic war.
