The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s destruction of the Vervoids in the lair (beat_24462ed81f5d8db6) sets the stage for the Inquisitor’s question in the trial about the survival of the Vervoid species (beat_6dea267361c3fdfa). The thematic and narrative resolution of the Vervoid threat becomes the central point of contention in the trial."
About Causal Connections
