Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s destruction of the Vervoids in the lair (beat_24462ed81f5d8db6) sets the stage for the Inquisitor’s question in the trial about the survival of the Vervoid species (beat_6dea267361c3fdfa). The thematic and narrative resolution of the Vervoid threat becomes the central point of contention in the trial."
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.
