Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stott shooting the Mandrel at the lift (beat_ba5867e353995451) allows Romana, Stott, and K9 to continue their escape, directly leading to K9's subsequent position at the TARDIS ready to activate the dematerialization machine (beat_3b5a190b19b7b28a)."
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.
