The haunted evolution game was provided by a donor who wanted to remain anonymous. The museum's administrative records identified the company donating the software as Top Education.

This isn't a name I've come across before, but it's worth looking into what else they provide, and where.

We made it out all right, but we won't be able to rejoin you in the museum.

Any trouble on your ends?

private

[musicdied]

Sometimes that is all you need to do.

When we finally get a vacation, we should take a tour of all the dinosaur museums that I haven't been thrown out of.

And this one again. I can wear a disguise.

Re: private

[worthallthis]

that might take a while i think there are a lot of museums with dinosaurs

but it would be fun

when do you think we would get a vacation

perma-private

[musicdied]

If we don't get a vacation after we finish dealing with this museum bullshit, we should go on strike.

[She's only half-joking. Maybe three quarters.]

[worthallthis]

do we have to ask for a vacation if we want one

or do they assign them out

[Look, he has never taken a vacation before. He doesn't know how this works.]

[musicdied]

I am pretty sure we have to ask.

Anything they assign would just be a field trip to investigate something, probably.

Not that I object to that, but it isn't a vacation.

[worthallthis]

no it is not

tho the dinosaurs came close

if someone asked

where would we go

[Because of course if one of them goes, so will the other. And probably also Steve and Kate, too. Especially after the... Adam thing.]

[musicdied]

I think we would have to start with Chicago, to see Sue the T. Rex.

[worthallthis]

[There's a pause while Winter looks that up on his phone. Then:]

yes please

thats amazing

[musicdied]

Then we will carve out some time to go see that one, at least.

Steve and Kate can come too, if they want.

[worthallthis]

yes we should bring them

family trip

[Then he finds and adds a little smiley emoji to the end. Look at what he's learned, Yelena.]

[musicdied]

[It makes her grin to match the emoji. Strange thing to be proud of him for, perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that she is.]

Yes. Maybe we can make it a tradition. Family road trips.

[Unrelated to monsters, or the wounded people they leave in their wake. That sounds...nice.]

[worthallthis]

[He absolutely wants to make a tradition. His people. If they're here for more years, they need good things to plan for.]

we should do this

we need to ask adi when we can right

[musicdied]

Or at least tell them we're going to be gone for a little while.

[worthallthis]

when we get back to town we need to do that then

[By which he means, he hopes Yelena does it, so he doesn't have to. Or at least tell him how to do it.]

[musicdied]

I'll take care of it.

[That's how much she loves you, Winter. She'll even do paperwork.]
