Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jellico promotes Data, then seeks info. The conversation shifts to Geordi's report on the tricorder readings, which reveals nothing unusual, deepening the mystery of Picard's team being lured there, thus setting up Data's later analysis as a critical turning point."
