Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Picard's aggressive behavior was uncharacteristic for a Vulcan (beat_89d5fe733a110233), setting up the later suspicion of the coded message. Establishes Picard and Riker working at cross purposes and lack of clear communications channels results in continued suspicion and the "Picard" on the main bridge continuing the deception."
