Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The crew's navigation through the asteroid field (Beat beat_01462497776ae275) leads to their encounter with the unidentified gaseous organism (Beat beat_572398b4844c403c), which in turn results in their infection and subsequent massacre at Titan Base (Beat beat_e7eec1a33f3e8bad). The initial act of navigating peril serves as the catalyst for the entire chain of events."
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.
