Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kellman's destruction of the magnetic tape proving contact with Voga in Episode 17 (e2abbdff067b8345_1) directly enables the Cybermen's response to the unauthorized transmat to Voga in Episode 18 (22cd6f0533a744cd_03). This action facilitates the Cybermen's detection and pursuit of the Nerva crew."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Kellman's calculated sabotage having immediate consequences. By removing the tape, he eliminates evidence of human-Vogan contact, which the Cybermen detect as a threat, leading to their boarding action.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
