Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Picard rejects Hayne's proposal, then a transmission comes from Turkana Four. These two events set up the introduction of Ishara, changing the context of the away mission."
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.
