Porsche Crest Starter Help - Melted Wires

I think my car hates fun runs! Had a great day the PCA group toured Dream Car Garage (Speed Channel), at the end got some gas, then went to eat. I came out to start the car and it turned over for about 2 seconds then slowly died. The battery is new and was @12.75V, new Alt, and new VR. I figured the starter died or some of the wiring was dirty. This is what I found:

Wires E and F look melted and touching a blob of connection B.

What I would really like to know please:

Wires "C" and red wire (upper) connection "D" goto the alt and battery +'ve terminal.

1) What does connection "B" goto? It was found touching (fused) to the side of the starter.

2) Are wires "E" and "F" (upper pic) suposed to be stuck together or are they just melted? They cam from connection "A"

3) Is connection "D" (lower pic) used for anything?

The alt seems to be missing one tooth and was just making a click sound when I removed it from the car. Thinking about having it rebuilt.
