How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Picard awakens injured in the crashed shuttle and attempts to contact the Enterprise but fails, leading him to decide to search the area for help. His failed attempt at communication causes him to take action."

About Causal Connections
