Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
From

Meglos Part 4
To
Meglos selects Tigella for destruction

Meglos Part 4
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Meglos’s confirmation that the Dodecahedron beams are fully programmed for Tigella (in the lab) directly follows and fulfills his earlier declaration of targeting Tigella (in the spacecraft). This chain of intent culminates in the final countdown and destruction."
About Causal Connections
