Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor tasking K9 with modifying the controls to divert the space-time tunnel directly leads to K9's successful intervention, reversing the flow and sending the capsule (and thus the threat) away. This action is the primary solution to the Nimon invasion."

About Causal Connections
