The narrative assertion
"The Count’s successful rehearsal of the Mona Lisa theft (beat_1258313dd02460c5) escalates the conflict, prompting the Doctor to assign Romana and Duggan to intercept the real theft at the Louvre (beat_e44d41bfb8920f27) while he pursues a separate temporal mission. The Count’s confidence and skill force a strategic split in the team."
