2 things:

a. It seems to me that Caretaker left the chat last night feeling like he hadn't done enough to earn our trust (probably because he hadn't Wink

). This email strikes me primarily as a method to do that. Like Sin_Vraal mentioned in #acheron a minute ago, he finally answered the question of why all of this is so important.

b. The person he's talking about could be Zeladzny or Turgenev, but evidence is strongly in Turgenev's favor. Not only because he's a Russian scientist, but because of this statement from the tabas document:

"2. Turgenev should be considered a candidate for immediate defection and given incentive to leave USSR by either threatening exposure or negotiation. "

Guys... Something just doesnt add up.

if Turgenev is Zeladzny

That would mean that his death was a fake.

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883)

he would be way too old...
your theory is there but not quite.

If I remember correctly from the SPECTRUM doc. isn't the name of the Russian scientist Ivar Turgenev, not Ivan Turgenev.

I looked at the document again with my trusty magnifying glass and it looks like an 'r' to me. It doesn't appear to be faded or broken in any way. I think it's an 'r'.

I croped the name out of the document and reversed the image. It looks like an "r" to me, but you can check the attachment and decide for yourself.
