Temeraire #4
Hello again, my old friends. I appear to have undergone a temporal contretemps. I am confident, if a little woeful, that it will be temporary - pun almost certainly not intended - but for as long as it lasts I should very much like to see you all again, should you have the time. I will of course not share any details regarding your personal futures unless you ask - far aside from being potentially distressing, I am not altogether certain it might not cause a paradox, even in Vallo.
Amazing how accostumed one becomes to things; I remember in my first year here how incredible all technology seemed to be, and now how terribly outdated everything is! And to think it has only been a century and a half; how quickly all worlds turn. I might write a poem about it.
