Raider; Too many emotions plugging your thinking ducts.
Understand you being a little anxious while waiting for results and NRs but sometimes you just have to do more than read the material and see the pictures, and see all the evidence---you have to absorb it. I think that is what you and your followers are not doing cuz if you absorbed the info, you'd know that its not a dinosaur were looking at in the anomoly, unless it a dinosaur that laid BIG golden sulphide laced eggs. Last time I checked, eggs were mostly laced with calcium, that does nothing for lighting up the 3D imagery to a bright red colour.
What used to happen to me when I was a kid, and my parents talked and talked and talked, and us kids did not do more than give them "air time"--was that they would give us a "whack" on the side of the head and say "Now Listen and Understand" cuz I'm not telling you again. That generally worked.
If this is too big a request then I think what you and your crew have to do is exactly what you said---Bail Out. Sorry for you and them as I was looking forward to buying you all a drink on the SS St Elias.
Can't for the life of me understand why you would want to bail just before payday though--its been a long wait and I really do not think that another month or so is a long time to wait when the play is over 11 years in the making.
