Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Nilson’s escape plan, including taking Tegan hostage, is a direct consequence of his failed attempt to destroy the base via the missiles — his secondary contingency involves personal survival through hostage-taking, reflecting the collapse of all higher mission objectives into desperation."

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.
