Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Mel materializing in the cargo hold (Beat 0596970092349342) directly prompts Commodore Travers to restrict them to passenger quarters and instruct Rudge to let the Doctor 'hang himself' (Beat 34be7681507cc132), initiating the confinement that drives the investigation."
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.
