Rapport?

The Warrior Path is here twinned with the attack at Sea as an
"Interdiction". The first brought them together (39.3-13), this one breaks

NB "Interdiction" - interdict n. 6 (Military) to destroy (an enemy's lines
of communication) by firepower. [13th C. from Latin *interdictum*
prohibition, from *interdicere* to forbid, from *inter* between + *dicere*
to say] 

Or, in other words, a between-text: amongst other denotations, resonances.
