Well, I am a little excited that they still appear to be on board with this! With only two days left in the month of February, I'm hoping to see some action with this project. I just realized I haven't touched this site in a week, and I need something to get me back interested in the community

Ah Carth, what would we do without you? You're perhaps the sanest member of the entire forum
Regarding the photos, I do wonder if this is part of a surveilance project from years ago - I mean, when else would you see sensitive information being encoded on VHS?
The other alternative is this - the VHS's label 'Per Aelita' translates from italian as 'For Aelita', so its possible that the contents of the box are delivered to her with a message to watch the tape - OH this is exciting!
Regarding an English translation, Atlantyca's foreign rights section lists that the division's primary task is to sell the translation deals for its books to foriegn publishers;
(STUFF)
As such, the liklihood of an English release is high, and as I said before, even if that fails, there will probably be fan-translations at some point

Oh no, I can't leave this place! I just tend to lurk more than I post nowadays. ;_;
As uninformative as those pictures are, the fact that they ARE doing something with the site excites me. And I agree that the English release likelihood is high- why would they go through all the trouble of translating all that info (or most of it- Didascalia *snicker*) into English if they weren't going to give us the book?
As much as I believe that, fan translation sounds like fun ^-^ I don't know Italian, though...

the first time that I had seen this, and I decided
that now is the time to tell.
To reveal the incredible facts we have witnessed.
Yumi Ishiyama, Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia
and I, Jeremy Belpois. And Aelita, of course.
Not a day goes by without thinking of Aelita.
This story, and all of them, my friends.
But especially for you.
Who knows if you are still listening...

Chapter One
A Butterfly at the Bottom of the Sea
(Sea of Japan, 21 December)
It is said that if a butterfly flaps its wings in Beijing, it will rain in New York.
Perhaps that is how it is supposed to go, that time too, but it's difficult to say: although everyone is aware when it rains, the fact is that by now, nobody can trace it back to the butterfly responsible...
Tuesday, 21 December, at 2:36 PM, the ship KNT-17 cast anchor off the coast of the Sea of Japan, and an officer informed the land base, "We are in position."
Listening at the land base was Yukiko Itou, a beautiful Japanese woman of twenty years. From her peaceful desk, Yukiko monitered the screens that surrounded it. Into the microphone system in front of her mouth she said, "Base here, everything's okay. Disembark Rovvy whenever you want."
The KNT-17 was a "cablographical" vessel: its task was to control the telecommunication cables that connected Japan to the United States. There was only one problem: the wires were more than a thousand feet deep below the surface of the sea. And here came into play "Rovvy", as it was familiarly called by the experts.
Despite its funny name, it was a very sophisticated robot. An ROV: Remotely Controlled Vehicle. It was the only way to operate in the tranquil and unimaginable pressure of the deep ocean.
The monitor on Yukiko's desk had two visuals: the robot, a kind of big, yellow box that was dropped intro the waves wit a crane, and of the officer on board the ship.
"How are you, sweet baby?" squawked his voice from the radio transmitter.
Yukiko laughed. "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course not, I was talking with Rovvy!"
Another laugh. "Focus on the job, or else you'll end up leaving the entirety of Japan without Internet!"
Six hours had passed since the underwater cable had started to misfire, and the cause ware extremely worrying. Through that cable passed most of the telephone calls and emails that the Japanese sent to America and vice versa. It was necessary to act quickly and with precision.
Flashing by underwater at great speed thanks to the powerful propeller blades, in no time Rovvy had reached the cable, a large black snake that stretched to infinity in both directions on the sandy bottom. All around, the ocean was silent and dark. At this depth, there weren't even fish. Without the beam of light from the robot's underwater telecamera, the screen before Yukiko might have seemed as if it was completely turned off.
A few minutes passed.
Then, the silence was broken by the voice of the ship's officer through her headphones.
"I think I've found the cause. It doesn't seem to be anything serious."
From an internal compartment of Rovvy spouted a mechanical arm, which stretched up to touch the surface of the cable.
In that same instant, the electronic instruments around Yukiko seemed to go crazy.
"Wait, stop!" She cried instinctively.
"What happened?"
"There was... a power spike, I think. I don't know how to explain it. It seemed like a kind of jam."
"Yukiko? Can you repeat that?"
"You understood me very well: you touched the cable, and we observed a jam in the current!"
"But it was just a touch! And how can an optical cable be 'jammed'?"
The woman ignored the comment and cast a quick look at the monitor. "In any case, now it seems to be alright again. Communications are working perfectly."
"Do you want to proceed with repairs anyway?"
"No, no, it wouldn't help anything. Mission adjourned. Withdraw Rovvy and return home."
"Perfect, so this evening we can go out together."
Yukiko smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "Why not?"
While in Japan the Internet was regaining its function, in France, a young girl of thirteen years was having breakfast in the cafeteria of Kadic Academy. Her name was Aelita Stones, but during her short life she had gone by many different names. She was not tall for her age and had a small, tuned-up nose, large eyes, and hair the color of flame cut into a short bob. She wore comfortable-looking dungarees and had a rather serious look that clashed with the happiness of the other students.
Kadic's cafeteria breathed an air of celebration: it was the second-to-last day of school before the Christmas vacations and lessons would start again only in January, after almost twenty days.
It was a lot of time to spend at home with Mom and Dad. Aelita, however, had other plans that were nowhere near as pleasant. Her parents, in fact, were no more. Aelita had the impression that centuries had passed since she was finally left alone in the world. From that horrible day on which her father...
"Everything okay?" Asked Jeremy suddenly, with a start.
Jeremy Belpois was thirteen, with blond, slightly long hair and spectacles on his nose. Jeremy was an important person, because on that terrible day on which her father...
"Aelita?"
The girl was frozen holding her croissant in the air, mouth ajar, with the face of a person staring into the void.
"She's paralyzed with emotion," commented the third friend. He was Odd Della Robbia, smiling as always, with the hair on his head spiked in his usual rocker look. "So, Jeremy, is our diabolical plan ready?" Odd asked, addressing his friend.
"Every single detail." Jeremy agreed. "Aelita and I will go to my place for vacation. My mother will be overjoyed to have a girl to spoil."
"What about you?"
"Cut it out, Odd."
"Our computer romance..."
Jeremy blushed, but continued to talk as if nothing had happened with his eyes looking down at the plate. "We'll come back to the academy on Sunday, the ninth. One day before classes."
"Perfect! What about you?"
"Sleeping over at Ulrich's house."
"Me too! So, there'll be no one to ever check. And the others. Have you heard from them?"
"No, but we've already discussed everything. I don't think that there will be any problems."
"Hey, Aelita, are you here with us?" Odd asked the girl, having noticed that she hadn't moved a single muscle the entire time. The croissant was still paused in front of her mouth.
"Aelita, if this is a joke, it's not funny," said Jeremy, sounding concerned.
The girl had such a fixed look, barely blinking.
"You're called Jeremy, right?"
He stared at her incredulously, then laughed awkwardly. Odd pretended to play along. "Yes, he's Jeremy and I'm Odd. We're your best friends. Remember?" He meant it as a joke, but Aelita didn't laugh.
"No." She only answered.
