Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's immediate action to remove the Terileptil powerpacks from Tegan and Mace (beat_ff0a80b60bc61985) directly escalates the Terileptil leader's urgency, prompting the leader to dispatch the android and order his forces to return to the laboratory (beat_b8f10b79f5325ef1). The Doctor's interference forces the Terileptils into a more aggressive stance."
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.
