Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Beverly and Troi discussing the game's allure leads directly to Beverly summoning Data for a bogus experiment, as well as deactivating him with the help of Riker and Troi, revealing the game's corrupting influence on senior officers and this leads them to taking Data out of the picture."
About Causal Connections
