Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Geordi's initial report of 'no artificial signatures' on Theta Eight sets up the ultimate revelation that the structure is constructed by an alien intelligence that operates outside known technology—making Mikey D's scripted murder feel like an inevitable narrative command, not random violence."

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.
