Have at it Vern, but the mere act of joining is not going to be of much enlightenment to you. To begin understanding what is going on there (and elsewhere related), you need to have an understanding of the related past in order to have an understanding for what is happening now in present time. It's doable, but would need to be a new labor of love for someone seeking to truly begin to grok what the story really may be. And even that is a hall of mirrors with a quicksand floor (Thank you LMH).
As Orwell most aptly put it: Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
