Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan alerting the group to the excavating machine malfunction (beat_2f857c8ef6c55190) prompts the Doctor's initiation of departure and the group's movement to a non-Tractator tunnel in the cave (beat_4114533c24619fa4), as the malfunction signals immediate danger and the need for retreat."
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.
