Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen’s revelation of the Dalek gambit in Episode 13—where he admits allying with the Daleks to usurp Trantis—escalates in Episode 14 when he orders the destruction of Kembel using the solar system as a weapon. Karlton’s compliance and alarm both intensify, showing the personal and political stakes rising."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a powerful escalation in Karlton’s character trajectory: from a functionary carrying out lethal orders to a participant in Chen’s genocidal gambit. It sets the stage for potential defiance or complicity, centered on Karlton as a fulcrum of the narrative.
