This is my opinion

The real contradiction is between Wak2 stated goal (3D map) and Stone's
personal goal  (sale of  Cis Lunar).

The Cis Lunar has come full circle. Prototype test during Wak1 to fifth
generation (I guess), fully functional unit used to explore (they put in
line where none existed) during Wak2. As a sales pitch, the use of these
units on this project will prove their dive ability, durability, and
"reliability". The Wak2 project will lend credibility to the RB
regardless of the actual accomplishments, it's a sales pitch. A map to
show where the RB was used is the icing on the cake.

Stone needs for this to happen. He has spent over ten years developing
and perfecting the Cis Lunar. He needs the sales. Sales = acceptance =
validation. He needs to prove he had a good idea (electronic RB) and
made it work. He hopes the Wak2 project does all this.

The mapping of the cave got him access to it. But it wasn't to do
science. It was to get the RB back to where it started. From prototype
to "matured" unit. To prove the Cis has the "right stuff" to dive
Wakulla.

Like I said, my opinion.
