How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor urging caution and ordering the companions to hide (beat_b5667bd627c04939) precedes and sets up the reveal of Abu emerging and dissolving (beat_27dd82eb2640f0c4); the hiding is directly caused by his fear of the machine."

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.
