SPECTRUM Facilities Speculation

Given the info from the Espoo pdf (thanks guys for making it through yet another long and grueling 70+ move match)

Dr. Ivar Turgenev was from the Landau Institute in Moscow.

Hhhhhmmmm... The Anonymous Client of Landau Luckman and Lake? Or do you think the name Landau is just a coinkidink?

Mage, I think the Turgenev picture looks just like a younger Zeladzny. I think the eyes, especially the eyebrows are identical.

I agree -- look at the nose, lips and the dimples/creases/whatever they're called on either side of his mouth... They look the same to me. Also the hairline has the same basic shape (allowing for a little recession due to time).

I wish the younger picture was a little clearer so we could see his ears. Ears never lie. Smile

The first Zeladzny picture frightened me. He looked like we was going to bite me. The Turgenev picture scares me as well.

So, what do we do with this apparent relation? Do we continue to bug Dr. Zeladzny about what's going on? I've tried a few times, but haven't had any luck yet.
Maybe this is just more background info, and we're waiting for contact to reach the next puzzle...

Heh, I got to tell Mos he owes me a drink. In #acheron chat last night he worked very hard to convince me it wasn't.

If anyone has experience doing overlay work, we can see if the eyes and the ears still are in the same relative postions....
