[QUOTE="valn, post: 1789446, member: 7510"] [b]The French Message[/b] With the characters speaking all at once, even as a native french speaker, the message was hard to understand. ;) Stupid-Annoying-Girl (SAG) got most of it right. I'll add a few comments (from memory): 1) SAG translated the "Please help us" part before it was actually said. ;) 2) She translated "It killed them all", but in french the lady used "Il" ([I]Il les a tous tués.[/I]), which is masculine/singular, so this could mean a thing, a monster or a man. I felt she might be talking about a murderer myself. 3) I don't remember the exact word, but the lady said she "sent him/asked him to go- to the black rock" ([I]rocher noir[/I]) and he was killed there. Was she in charge? She was the only one remaining at that point... That is actually a very interesting theory! I found this link: [url]http://www.globelaw.com/Nukes/fnteucas.htm[/url] [I]"Tests were conducted in the atolls of Mururoa and Fangataufa, [that] form part of French Polynesia,[...] from 1966 to 1991.
