Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's instruction to Tegan to evacuate Norna while he confronts the Tractators (beat_26860aa743e4c18c) sets up the dynamic where the Doctor and Tegan later escape together. The lamp given to Tegan in this beat becomes the key to their escape from the gravity beam in beat_ba34d6ba9fe3c7b7."
About Causal Connections
