To: The Steiner Family

[Victor Steiner]

Lord Oakington

What an unexpected pleasure. I must say I am surprised to hear from you, but I can assure you that have not been living in a cave. Rather New Berlin, although I'm sure many will ask what the difference is.

I find it curious that no sooner had your letter turned up at our door, Victor received a letter as well, from the Arbiter of the Junkers of all people. Something of an urgent message hinting at some sort of crisis.

It seems our Holiday is over. We will be returning to Cambridge immediately. I shall see you shortly.

Lord Edmund Johann Reuel Steiner of Warwick
Fleet Admiral (Retired)
