News from Berlin: Explosions continue to tear through the city on this, the sixteenth night of siege. At least one hundred and fifty are believed to have perished last night as a fierce blast struck the Autobahn, collapsing a section of it onto the on/off ramps below. A great number of people who were caught in the devastation were attempting to leave the city. This brings the estimated body count to nearly three thousand, leaving the rest of the world to wonder: "Who has declared war on Berlin?" German officials have made a public plee for foreign aid, declaring this a "monstrous tragedy". Reports from German kindred estimate the deaths of Camarilla members in the city at anywhere between thirty and fifty individuals. Among those currently unaccounted for are the Harpy, the Seneschal, the Primogen of clans Toreador, Malkavian, and Brujah, and Prince Anya herself.

"The Royal Alex Theatre has undergone extensive inspections, and has been deemed one-hundred percent safe", says management. The theatre does plan to open its doors on March 11th, as originally scheduled, to present its production of Richard III. Tickets are on sale at the theatre and all Ticketmaster outlets.
