I used my impeccable oratory skills to lower Altria Lancer's guard, added a Summer attribute to her Spirit Origin...

@Merlin
...then suggested that the Grand Canyon would be the perfect place for her to spend the summer.

@Merlin
And as I expected, she did a wonderful job with the place! Just look at how gorgeous this Las Vegas turned out!

Still, I do remember that the timing worked out well, as I did need a mecca for which to assemble the Swimsuit Swordmasters.
