The narrative assertion
"Both beats revolve around the concept of ancient, sacred knowledge and the duty to protect it. Romana's recall of her Time Academy induction oath highlights a formal commitment to safeguarding Gallifreyan laws, while her later deciphering of Chronotis's dying message represents the practical application of that duty under extreme duress."
