How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The unidentified gaseous organism encountered in the asteroid field (Beat beat_572398b4844c403c) directly infects the crew, as evidenced by the computer's warning in Beat beat_12799b902e885f22. This immediate consequence sets the infection into motion."

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.
