[PUZZLE] SD6/My Family/sciencework.txt

I wish that I had more time to work on this but work is really busy today and I have to catch a flight to NYC in a couple of hours for a meeting.

I have started to work on this but need to put it aside - as much as it bothers me to do so. I also may be way off base here but it is the only thing that I can think of that I haven't tried yet.

Looking at the directions for the sciencework.txt it indicates melting points in C. I am reinterpretting this direction to mean that we take need to focus exclusively on those elements that either begin or contain the letter C.

Which leaves us focused on:
Ca
Ce
Co
Cm
Cu
Cs
Cd
and possibly
Sc
Tc

I started to play around with the idea of ignoring the C's and trying to rearrange the letters "aeomusd" and "aeomusdst" to see if I could get anything that would open ppics.zip or ppics2.kgb.

Things that seemed interested included the start of the word museo (italian for museum) but I tried a few variations and didn't get anywhere. I also tried "assumed to" with no luck.

As I said, I have no idea if this is even vaguely in the right direction but I thought I would post in hopes that it might cause a light to go off in someone else's head while I have to force myself to go back to work. :(

I'm pretty sure the building shot is a real pic and not a rendering.

Error bugs etcetera

Actually there is a picture of a person. Look at the reflection in the glass ball where a hidden camera would be. Is that Virgil?

just the first thing that comes to mind:

"Looking Back Subjectively" could refer to subject lines of old emails. Look at them backwards, taking the last letter of each? No idea how the numbers would index into words...

and i'll bet people are in chat already past this thought!
