How these two moments in the story relate

To
Marshal seizes hunt alone against Doctor's offer

The Mutants Part 2
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s coerced agreement to open the box leads directly to Marshal denying him permission to join the mutant hunt, reinforcing the Doctor’s marginalization and distrust in the system. This denial catalyzes the Doctor’s growing moral separation from Skybase authority."
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.
