I haven't finished the article yet - I know where it's going to end up, unfortunately. I was following this closely and there are few details that are actually new to me, but you have managed to clarify the whole story without imposing any false narrative on it, and it's totally gripping.

(I mean, so far you have. Hypoxia might overtake you and the rest of the article might be gibberish, but I'm willing to take that risk.)
