Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"After the Doctor is taken at gunpoint (beat 11c97bec12a5a5cf), he is interrogated in the Pump Chamber (beat 17bfe7e52ae2266d), where his extraordinary technological knowledge and extraterrestrial identity are revealed. This interrogation sequence is a direct consequence of Thawn's decision to detain the 'surveyor' seen in the swamp."
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.
