Excerpt from: Arthurian Collaborative Scenario
The Temesis was winding more as they approached the city. Katherine wondered why they had changed to the river earlier. Nimue hadn’t given much of an answer, other than that there was too much traffic on the Road. “I can see, something,” she said.
“We’ll be there by sunset,” Nimue said as the boat finished rounding the bend.
“Good,” Katherine said. The City was impressive, with the relatively new construction outside the walls sprawling towards them.
They pulled up to a dock shortly before sunset to find Merlinus waiting for them. He came on board. “Very good, Nimue,” he said with a smile, before saying. “Katherine Robertius. I thought you’d look a little older.”
Katherine nodded. “I’m sorry that I caused a problem for the Empire.”
“You did what you thought was right, but you can help us quell the unrest,” Merlinus said.
Katherine wasn’t sure how she could, but nodded anyway. “Sure.”
Nimue secured the boat to the dock and followed Merlinus and Katherine into the city. She was also unsure how Katherine would help quell the crisis. But then, there were many things Merlinus didn’t tell her.

“And why not?” Sandi asked.
“I don’t want the whole school to know!” Quinn retorted.
“I guess not,” Sandi said.
“Peter Parker!”
Peter turned to see the Asian American women coming towards him. “Angela Li, is it?” he asked. He resisted the urge to compare her to J. Jonah Jameson.
“Yes. Principal of Laaawndale High! I’d like to know why the School District forced me to accept your employment here!”

“You want to watch first?” John asked.
“Um, sure,” Quentin said, although he hadn't seen it before.
“It was a cone-shaped craft about 15 feet long, with an air speed of, oh, I'd estimate mach 12. They kidnapped and stripped me, examined me briefly, returned my clothes, and dropped me here.”
At the Dutchman Inn, Phillip called long distance to Colorado. “Phillip!”
“Hi, Wallace,” Phillip said to the young man who had been more of a sister to her than Quentin Brocklethwaite had.
“Mom and Dad said you've made it to Lanedale?” Wallace Addams said.
“I have, but the Brocklethwaites are rather busy. When I got to the house, there was no one there.”
