M'gann M'orzz. Superboy. These are some of my former classmates. Ronal. Blubber. Lori Lemaris. La'gaan. And Nanaue Sha'ark.
Nanaue Sha'ark:
That's King Sha'ark, chum. And don't
you forget it!
M'gann:
You're all so different.
Kaldur'ahm:
Millennia ago, Atlanteans were all
surface-dwelling humans, until the continent sank. By necessity, our ancestors
used science and sorcery to adapt to life beneath the waves. Since then, the
populace of each city-state has evolved along its own course. Now, Atlantis is
a continent of diversity, and our capital, Poseidonis, is the most diverse of
all. While the Conservatory draws the best and the brightest from throughout
Atlantis.
M'gann:
It's wonderful. My world could take
lessons. Should take lessons.
La'gaan:
And are you two typical of the surface?
Superboy:
Not exactly.
M'gann:
I've always loved mermaids! What do you
think?
Lori Lemaris:
I am ... flattered?
Superboy:
Now, you are just showing off.
M'gann:
I like it.
Ronal:
Well, this has been ... charming. But I
should go.
Nanaue Sha'ark:
What's the matter, chum? Feeling
outnumbered?
La'gaan:
So, what's it really like on the
surface?
Blubber:
Other than drier.
Nanaue Sha'ark:
And tastier. Know what I mean, chum?
Tula:
Kaldur!
Kaldur'ahm:
M'gann. Superboy. These are my dearest
friends, Tula, and Garth.
Garth:
You are both welcome in Atlantis.
Tula:
Yes. Any friend of Kaldur's is a friend
of ours!
M'gann: (Telepathy)
So that's why he brought us.
Superboy: (Telepathy)
What do you mean?
M'gann: (Telepathy)
Kaldur's in love with Tula. It radiates
off him in waves. But she's with Garth. And Kaldur couldn't bear to face them
alone...
Kaldur'ahm:
Topo...? Topo! I want you to meet my
friends.
Topo:
Uh... maybe some other time.
Kaldur'ahm:
What is this? Topo?! Who did this to
you?!
Lori Lemaris:
It does not concern you,
Kaldur'ahm.
Nanaue Sha'ark:
Ah, Squidboy's chum. And chum gets what
it deserves. Swallowed.
Superboy:
I couldn't read those markings...?
Tula:
They are Ancient Atlantean runes.
Superboy:
Spelling what?
Tula:
"Impure."
