Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of the slime trail (evidence of an alien organism) drives the Doctor's deduction that the station is more than mechanical — it's biogenic. This realization directly leads them to search for Sarah, believing she was taken by an organism, not just machinery."
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.
