Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Enterprise arrives at Galorndon Core, where Riker inquires about any signs of life (beat_fd9c29dd93f2ff24), which is followed by Riker remaining skeptical as Geordi can't confirm the ship's signature (beat_ec5676f1fbcfe658)."
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.
