Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's plan to separate the ships and send Romana, Stott, and K9 to activate the dematerialization machine (beat_f22fbe37eb522ecd) is directly followed by K9's position at the TARDIS, ready to activate it (beat_3b5a190b19b7b28a), ensuring the plan's execution."
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.
