Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Slocum's assessment and repair task in the drill head (beat_2a2c3639f37225e7) leads directly to his exposure to the green ooze. This links to beat_9e52957edcdeece0 when Slocum returns silently, implying the exposure has already occurred and is affecting him."

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.
