Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Building directly upon the initial strange encounter with Maylor upon their arrival, Maylor delivers a pointed threat to Troi (beat_5cc57b155d0928fc), warning her not to pursue Alkar. This cements the strange and emerging conflict between the two. Thus is further complicated by the fact Troi is the ship's counselor."

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.
