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
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.
