Transcript from a videotape in French, Direction de la Surveillance du territoire.

The french translation team of the Ishtar Diary Translation Program (IDTP) discuss about their future work in the Café de la Paix, Paris, France, 21/07/1996, 21h37 (GMT+2).

AGV = André Guillot-Vaillant, translation team director, Illuminati Order initiate.

MB = Michel Bonnet, IDTP project director, Illuminati Order initiate.

JM = Jean Monnier, AGV personal assistant, Illuminati Order initiate.

[AGV] Michel! Over here!

[MB] Did you wait on me for a long time?

[AGV] No, we just arrived. Your trip went well?

[MB] A living hell! It's a mess in Oslo! Apparently, Her Majesty Freyja is moving to Japan. No one knew how to answer [cough] my questions. I was forced to go through their Grandmaster!

[AGV] So? Does the program still go on?

[MB] Did you take something? Waiter! A dry martini, clean, on the rocks! Yeah, it still goes. Their requirements haven't changed. Everything has to be translated. The only difference is that it won't be with the original. They will make an exact copy and send the manuscript to New York for definitive archiving. If there are any doubts, the Americans allow us to consult it once a year.

[AGV] Shit! They didn't... [many laughs, unintelligible].

[MB] I know, it can't be helped.

[AGV] Why organizing that now?

[MB] Freyja decided. She must have her reasons. Do you think I want to discuss the motives of a lord of the Order?

[Waiter] [muffled] Your martini, sir.

[MB] Anyway, let's talk about the job. How are our guys going to organize themselves?

[AGV] Two teams, one at the Paris Lodge and an other at the Bordeaux Lodge. The Gironde team will deal with the odd-numbered sections and ours with the even-numbered ones. The result will be compiled here, by me. Five years of hard work, more or less. The Reinir language has a special structure, it will probably be necessary to simplify and adapt its wording to French, especially if we have to keep its rather casual tone. Some terms have no known equivalent.

[MB] We have full authority over this. The hierarchy gives you total autonomy. You are the only specialist, you do as you feel!

[AGV] I have... Jean, where are the pages of my excerpt?

[JM] The front pocket, doctor, in the plastic jacket.

[AGV] Ah! Yes, that's right. This diary is unique, it... it has a special importance for me. [unintelligible] see these two lines, with the little symbols and the big ones?

[MB] Yes.

[AGV] The little, that's Reinir language. To put it simply, we are talking about a syllabary having some points in common with Akkadian. We think it could be one of its sources. The characters above, on the other hand, are Atlantean ideograms. They were added a long time afterwards, if we believe the ink isotopic dating. We will have in our hands the only text written simultaneously in Atlantean and Reinir! An opportunity to improve our knowledge of both. Concerning the content, the Great Secret seems to be summarized in its entirety.

[MB] The slightest page must be worth millions on the black market... By the way, are you and your guys aware of the risk? If Her Majesty Ishtar finds out that this program exists, we'll all be killed.

[AGV] Yes, everyone is even thrilled! This chance will not come again.

[MB] Sometimes, it leaves me wondering...

[AGV] About what?

[MB] The way you look at things! You researchers are ready to pledge your life just to read a document...

[AGV] A document that tells the truth, Michel. An important nuance. I, like my colleagues, have spent my life studying for just a small chance to discover a piece of truth. If you offer a physicist a book unifying physics, do you think he won't do everything to consult it?

[MB] Maybe...

[AGV] And yourself, what motivates you, then? You don't take less risks than we do, being the project director.

[MB] Me? I'm motivated by my career! A success for the Order and my chances of obtaining a prestigious position increase! I've never hidden the fact that I'm a careerist, André. As for the risks... let's just say that you will be held 100% responsible in case of trouble.

[AGV] [laughs, extensively] You are a rarity! An honest politician! Ah!

[MB] Out of curiosity, you show me an excerpt here... did you translate it?

[AGV] Yes. Jean, can you bring up my notes?

[JM] One moment... here is your notebook.

[AGV] So, this small paper says: "Greetings to you, mysterious reader! I am Ishtar and... well, 'know what ? Let's forget the formalities! To be honest, I don't know my age. I was here before the founding of Uruk. I'll be there long after your descendants have died. Let's say I'm old, shall we? Well, it doesn't show, because I certainly look something like 17. 'll have to trust me. Ah, ah!

Let's start at the beginning: if the weird ideograms on this document make sense to you, then someone has taught you my mother tongue. Congratulations, I am dealing with a well educated individual! Where are you from? Is there anything interesting going on in your era? Because obviously, a few centuries (millennia, actually) will have passed since this was written, so please excuse my curiosity. Ugh... get real. You know no one is gonna read this thing. What's the point for a goddess to keep a diary?"

[MB] Seriously? This is something that was really written by the Ishtar we know? The one who... fuck! What a personality change in that case...

[AGV] She says it herself, we speak in millennia, Michel, Elohim evolve if they suffer enough. This extract is taken from the first page. A colleague specializing in Atlantean, whom I agree with on this point, thinks that it was intended as a test to train her handwriting. We use it like an unofficial synopsis. A joke between us.

[MB] The kind of thing my daughter would write... Have you eaten? I know it's late, but we could order something...

[AGV] Good idea.

The videotape end at 22h11 (GMT+2), same day.
