Let S\mathcal S be the set of all points NN with the following property: three distinct normals to y=x2y=x^2 pass through NN, and their three corresponding points on the parabola form a right-angled triangle of area 11.

If OO is the origin, what is

∑N∈SON2 ?\sum_{N\in\mathcal S}ON^2\,?
A868\sqrt6
B94+86\dfrac94+8\sqrt6
C6+866+8\sqrt6
D92+86\dfrac92+8\sqrt6
E94+46\dfrac94+4\sqrt6
