Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor arranging to meet Ian in the garden to find the tunnel (beat_4b32d7e7b136081e) directly precedes Ian setting off to investigate the tunnel (beat_ec2fbe7c9db0294d), but Ixta follows him."

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.
