Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's verification of the reactor cable (beat_900e7dce3e24e637) prevents an explosion, but the subsequent Mandrel attack damages the controls, causing the Doctor to struggle to repair them later (beat_62ab51065049af1b), showing the high-stakes, fragile nature of their plan."
