The narrative assertion
"Temmosus reveals they came due to the craft, confirming the city's inhabitation. Ganatus arrives with a message discovered by the city gates and they are both led to believe that the Daleks intend to help the Thals, which provides a renewed hope for the Thals' future because of the message."
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.
