Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Adric and Berger's pleading with Briggs to listen to reason and point out danger (despite the Captain's instincts being towards her bonus and ignoring the Doctor's warnings) leads to the crew detecting movement on the monitors revealing attacking Cybermen. The Cybermen's state and presence are confirmed and reinforced through the chain of events, eventually causing tension on the bridge as they realize the threat. The escalation of the Cybermen's reactivation and the Doctor's warnings are ignored allowing the Cyber invasion to proceed unchecked all merging now in a cyber wave in the scene. The warning chain triggers the Cyber attack wave."
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.
