Mysterious Disappearances

Months had passed since Berengar's arrival in Mesoamerica, and now a star fort had built on the coastline of the Region. This was no simple stronghold, but a well-fortified miniature colony which housed a thousand soldiers of the German Armed Forces. It was defended with rifled breechloading artillery, revolving cannons, and hand-cranked machine guns, along with the individual rifles of the soldiers who acted as its garrison. 

A large dock extended into the sea and provided a staging point for the small fleet that had ferried these soldiers and their supplies into the New World. Despite what one might think, the Kaiser and his soldiers were not cut off from the fatherland, the long range wireless telegraph built on board his flagship vessel acted as a means of instant communication with his Empire across the atlantic.
