Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The ambush by primitives in E38, coupled with Exorse's arrival, leads directly to Dodo's disappearance being treated with such urgency that it interrupts a Council meeting in E39. The event escalates from external threat to internal predation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection bridges the external threat (primitives) to the internal horror (life-force extraction), showing how the city's hidden system of control and exploitation is revealed through Dodo's entrapment. It escalates the story from deception to active menace.
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.
