Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Rodan’s revelation about the incoming probative fleet enables Leela’s urgent appeal, which in turn sets up her eventual alliance with him. But more critically, this intelligence becomes the crucial data point that the Vardans exploit — leading directly to the red alert and barrier failure when sabotaged."
