Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Thawn's return to the Control Centre and detection of the anomalous echo track (which implies an unknown ship entered the swamp) directly leads to the humans' paranoia about Rohm-Dutt arming the Swampies. This paranoia culminates in the Doctor's confrontation in the swamp and ultimately the volatile rescue mission toward the Swampie settlement."
