Translation Clip "a" : The next day... N: I knew that our love will stay intact even after such a long separation. S: Sob! S: Come in, Marc! Clip "b" : S: Goodby, girls! ... Michette, take care of Ionivka! Snif! S: Yes Marc! S: Good luck, girls! Clip "c" : S: Attention! We are leaving, now! Clip "d" : N: This first travel section towards Norcan-1 follows the same itinerary as last time*. S: Professor Exand wished us good luck; I have an uneasy impression that there will be some unpleasant surprises there. S: Heu? Note*: Episode 3, pages 28 to 32 Clip "e" : S: Hurry up! This Vulture aircraft will take off soon. Clip "f" : S: Puf! Puf! Are we still the only passengers? N: I saw the same pilot and the same navigator. T: She has found a male, but he cannot accompany her to the CraaTerm. S: Yes! Since 5 years ago, there is almost no passenger, only heavy cargo shipment between Norcan and the CraaTerm. T: She has found a life partner*. Note: Remember that the Norcan color code of the obedience bracelets indicates their "partnership" status; grey=single, blue=with a male partner, red=with a female partner. Clip "g" : N: Another night flight, without any significant event. The pilot was more tolerant this time*. During that time, I imposed some directives to Michette. Note*: Episode 3, pages 30, 31 Clip "h" : S: Do not ever talk about Marc; understood? S: Gulp! Understood, Ionivka! Clip "i" : S: That flight was so boring. Clip "j" : The next day... S: It will be OK, Michette! You know better, now, how to avoid problems*, is-n-it? S: Mmmm! S: The wind is different, today. Note*: Episode 3, pages 41 to 50 My social comment The near future looks so bad, that I am feeling that I might not be able to complete translating my Ionivka's series before the end of our current civilization (probably before 2021); we might be under a global martial law. I am trying to accelerate that translation work; there are three more episodes (159 pages) to translate. I hope that I am wrong about this prediction, the global situation might turn away from that catastrophe, but it is like a Titanic in full steam, having lost its rudder, that is heading straight towards the iceberg ahead of it.
