Rumiko also made a translation.

EDIT: After seeing this, I corrected my translation:
train ouselves -> perform trainings
because the postcard doesn't write who is trained. And,
didn't take place in time -> were too late
because what was confirmed should be that the the landslide started earlier than expected.

Rumiko's translation:

"I have confirmed what we feared the most. We were too late for Intercalated Games. Now California started moving (landslide) towards north, the direction of Neo Pangaea. We have traveled this far to perform trainings in a place with frequent earthquakes. We must stop the world from collapsing. Or, We will never be able to return home."

In red, with scratches on it, in English:

"Noriko if this happens in 2008 it will be your fault"

"Stop Now"

I'm just a little old Chariton here, so I have a couple of questions:

If WHAT happens?

and

Stop WHAT?

The "fault" is a cute touch, what with the earthquake zones being important.

Check out this cool map. California isn't on it. OOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooooo

We're doomed I tells ya! DOOMED!

Why aren't there a postmark ? Did Theo take it directly from Akira?

Re: Handwriting on postcard (flashbacks of Def Leppard logo)

This may not be Theo; he usually makes a point of making sure the receiver knows the message is from him. Perhaps he is working with someone else...or we have another Minotaur.

The first thing that came to my mind when I first saw that postcard pictures was that it was a massive labirynth made out of big logs of wood.

And I'm thinking not Theo too. He (/the PMs) would be consistent with his hand writing. Minotaur n�2?

First off I think we've an Association of Minotauri. Known members Theo and perhaps this one who I will call RedRune until he/she is identified.

Interesting Tunguska Blast happened in 1908

could who ever has the original postcard do a wax rubbing of it? (you know tracing paper over the original and a crayon rubbed on it's side?) that would reveal the carved marks.
