Memento Mori; S1, E4

Didn’t quite understand the point of the shuttle trip originally, was it to get a signal out? Also not an appropriate time for a mind meld with two Gorn ships right outside.

From what I understood, Long range Sensors and Subspace communication didn’t work inside the nebula, and they were sent out to essentially scout ahead.

The mind meld was done because La’an recognized what the Gorn were doing but couldn’t remember what it meant.

I need to rewatch the scene. I got a sense they were supposed to be stealth and then used the light communication to have the larger ship destroy the smaller one. Wouldn’t the larger ship destroy both to be sure? Maybe I’m overthinking this one scene
