Causal strong strength

Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Organon sending a guard to inform Adrasta about the situation outside the Creature's lair directly leads to Adrasta's decision to use Romana and K9 to enter the lair and kill the Creature. This action sets off a chain of events that increases tension and forces the Doctor to confront Adrasta more directly."

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.
