Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The explosion of Arcturus' casing (due to Ssorg's sonic weapon) directly leads to the Doctor's revelation of Arcturus' true motive: preventing Peladon from joining the Galactic Federation to protect his planet's mineral interests. This exposes Arcturus as a traitor and sets up Hepesh's subsequent treachery."
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.
