Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Drathro's announcement of the black light system's impending collapse (and the implicit threat to all present) directly motivates Tandrell and Humker's desperate search for escape in the subway. This urgency later drives their encounter with the Doctor, who learns of the terminal decay and acts to prevent the explosion."
