Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana’s testimony about dead creatures in hyperspace capsules (beat_78ae20a713f60457) establishes the possibility that the Megara’s capsule could have contained living beings, undermining their moral authority. This testimony contributes to the Doctor’s later rhetorical strategy when he accuses Vivien of being Cessair of Diplos (beat_be59728071d080d4), framing Vivien’s crimes as part of a larger pattern of deception and danger."
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.
