Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Hitman shoots the Engineer (beat_d67449f146466b3f), and the train lurches violently and changes direction, (beat_d4f71a24146051be) indicating a link between events in the Holodeck and the ship's behavior."
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.
