Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Worf and Hildebrant’s proposed engineering solution is the only viable technical alternative to committing genocide—but Data’s challenge—'What’s the difference whether I send the message or deliver it personally?'—subverts their logic entirely. The solution is only possible because Data redefines the moral stakes."
About Character Continuity Connections
A character's state in A evolves into their state in B. The same person, changed by time— tracking how experience shapes identity across the narrative.
