Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor being captured by the service robot directly leads to Glitz and Dibber abandoning him, as they perceive their own survival and goals (acquiring 'heavy artillery' and 'the stuff') as more urgent than rescuing the Doctor."

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.
