Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Beverly subtly reiterates her suggestion for Picard to consider taking a trip on the Orient Express before Picard exits (beat_fffed8464e0551a2), foreshadowing Data's later expression of his concerns with this experiment (beat_b6b132628247f9d7) potentially being dangerous."
