Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kelsey needs help opening the door to Ten Forward (beat_199d5b29f0d5b13a). This leads to Picard, Kiros, and Kelsey, to enter Ten Forward (beat_7abfedf82dd8393a), where Picard then triggers the trap for nefarious purposes."
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.
