The narrative assertion
"Learning that Barbara is at the Crater of Needles (beat_b22529e5986432c4) drives Ian to propose an alliance with Vrestrin (beat_1e3b72610182b170) to rescue her. This established a clear cause-and-effect relationship, and it also continues Ian's character motivation from the first act."
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.
