Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Riker dissuading Geordi from checking on Data, suggesting he relax and try the game in Ten Forward, creates a parallel to O'Brien's later attempts to entice Robin to play, both illustrating the pervasive and pushy nature of the game's influence. The game actively wants more players."
