Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Brigadier's decision to override professional protocols (forcing Styles' evacuation) reflects a growing willingness to use militarized action against existential threats — later escalated in 'The Time Monster' where he overrides leave status, ignores skepticism, and deploys Benton and Yates against the Master's TOM-TIT."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This traces a clear escalation in Yates' field authority: in 'Day of the Daleks,' he enforces evacuation under extreme duress; in 'The Time Monster,' he is deployed despite standing orders and skepticism. The pattern shows UNIT shifting from containment to proactive intervention, with Yates as a consistent enforcer of that escalation.
