Torg doesn't seem phased at all about the resemblance between Oasis and Sin'thea which seems odd. Maybe it is just supposed to be a familial resemblance.

I'd also go so far as to say that Torg has seen so many strange and shocking things that Teresa's mom looking just like the supposedly unrelated Oasis is merely run-of-the-mill unusual to him.

And certainly spiders hang around Sin'thea, an author of a book on fate magic.

Now I get why Scholock is so obsesses with Oasis. That little rat was competing with him for book deals back in the day!

There are a lot of plot references being drawn (in both senses of the word) into these 3 short panels! Other people seem to be relegating it to spec, so I will too.

I'd also go so far as to say that Torg has seen so many strange and shocking things that Teresa's mom looking just like the supposedly unrelated Oasis is merely run-of-the-mill unusual to him. I'd agree and add that he'd already noted resemblance back when he first came into contact with the sisters, so this is probably just confirming suspicions.

And today's spec topic is… *reaches into hat* who is Torg talking about?

Percy is his usual go-to for research like that...

As for the investigation, it's definitely Percy. Pete linked to Percy finding more info on her the first time. No reason to assume he'd use someone else for the job. The only spec is: How will Oasis react to the picture? Will she recognize her, or see a resemblance?
