Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events feature an unnamed crew member who is present during a high-stakes, tense situation but remains oblivious to the immediate danger. In 'Power Play,' Riker misdirects the crew member about the crash's cause, while in 'The Next Phase,' the crew member is unaware of Ro's life-or-death struggle."
