Gerry, Gerry, Gerry you know quite well that you have postulated
theories regarding this far more elaborate than that. <br>

<div>Your theory involves a 43 year old one-eyed time
travelling Silk who looks exactly like a 70+ year old Pike
and wears his hat. You don’t think that’s elaborate?</div>

I've presented a theory based on the existence of a "second" Oreb at
Silk's residence that night and the evidence that Rajan can
Time-travel. You have presented alternate explanations that even YOU
won't own. This kabuki theater we play is getting boring.<br>
