Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Eldred's knowledge of the abandoned fuel system on Moonbase stems directly from his expertise in rocketry, which was sidelined by the T-Mat system. His technical insight about the fuel dump is a direct consequence of his earlier disillusionment.
