Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The initial energy blast on the Enterprise abruptly interrupts Picard and Riker's fencing match, setting the crisis in motion leading to the discovery of the distress call from Paul Manheim."

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.
