Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Marius's plea to Leela to hold off Lowe's team for ten minutes (beat_797988c6daef6198) sets up the external battle that Leela fights with K9 (beat_0aaf5e75661bd0d2). The success or failure of this defense directly impacts the internal mission's viability."

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.
