Anakron Istkon Vayor stood just outside the entrance to the Edge-Where Bliddyunndergrind terminal, staff in hand, the Siamese cat purring loudly.
The sun was setting. Mardil, Sai, Panakeia, and Alli, arrived.
"Mardil, 10 points. Sai, 10 points. Panakeia, 10 points. Alli, 9 points; one subtracted for arriving unconcsious."
Anakron waited a while longer. Wilhelmina showed up.
"Wilhelmina, 9 points; subtract one for driving without a license."
Anakron waited still longer. The sun was almost down. Fléin appeared.
"Fléin, 10 points."
Anakron waited yet longer. The sun went down. "Valde is not yet here; 9 points as of this moment, subtract one for lateness."
He turned to the others. "There are cots in that shelter just across the square. Take your rest and be here at sunrise. There is much to do on the morrow."
The six who had arrived, made their way to the shelter the Grank Anakronist had indicated, talking amongst themselves, wondering where Valde was.
Anakron continued to wait for Valde.
