Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mercer and Stien's offer to accompany the Doctor for revenge or revenge-like purposes (beat_4416b6e087f3655d) is directly echoed in Mercer's early loyalty and sacrifice, while Stien's eventual self-sacrifice to destroy the Dalek battle cruiser (beat_5ec67a45245bad39) fulfills his need for atonement."
