Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's realization that it's too late to hesitate (beat_f0ce4441d7496097) directly follows the group's awareness of the need for a driver for the Tractators' excavating machine (beat_2bb3f594d807d206), as the urgency of their situation drives the Doctor's decisive action."
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.
