Eclipso's Happy Quest

1982: For nearly a century, large weapons supplies have been mysteriously vanishing all over the Earth. As a result, numerous wars have been nipped in the bud, altering the course of history in ways both known and unknown.

And the Beatles are about to release a new album.
Meanwhile, the reclusive Eclipso Sunray Smith has offered paleontologist Augustine "Augie" Matias a million dollars, plus unlimited resources, to keep searching for a living dinosaur. Augie is joined by nine others offered the same deal, including one professional skeptic of all things "woo-woo."

Ambu says he can't afford the luxury of indulging such foolishness. Moreover, hoaxers could be afoot intent on sabotage.
But Bonsai Gator thinks it's a good idea, so how about it? Are you ready to join the happy quest?
First stop: New Britain Island!
