Sequence of possible events with cranes moving satellite (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scenario

'sequence of possible events' is the definition.
(scenario can mean a hypothetical event or events)

'with cranes moving satellite' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are moved around).
'satellite' becomes 'Io' (Io is a moon of Jupiter).
'cranes' with letters rearranged gives 'scenar'.
'scenar' next to 'io' is 'SCENARIO'.

(Other definitions for scenario that I've seen before include "Written outline of film, etc" , "Outline of film, novel, etc" , "Film script outline" , "Production plan" , "expected sequence of events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
