Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The confrontation between Mel, the Doctor, and Commodore Travers about Mel’s involvement in Edwardes’s death leads directly to Travers ordering a search for the missing men and to Mel’s accusation that there is a killer on board. This escalates the narrative from suspicion to active threat recognition."
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.
