As an excuse to visit the San Diego area goes, the Museum of Man is probably about as good as it gets for an anthropologist. Very kind of them to put it there, really.

But that's all it is -- an excuse. Hannah knows it even when Brennan calls to invite her down to look at the very interesting skull she's theortically flown 3000 miles to see.

The purpose of this trip, Hannah knows, is so that Brennan can tell her what she had learned from Commodore Lyon. Which she does. In a very Brennan sort of way, calmly and logically and in a very ordered fashion. It's rationally told, even when it's fantastic.

And Hannah, looking down at the 14th century skull over which they are having this conversation, nods a lot, and doesn't interrupt, and doesn't say anything even when Brennan finishes.

"Lunch first," says Hannah, decidedly.

She'll even eat most of it.

"Do you have more things you need to do with Yorrick there?"

A sheepish look crosses Brennan's face.

"I actually helped with the original cataloging," she admits.

Well, it's not like Hannah doesn't know that looking at the skull isn't the real reason she's in California.

"Although, I did think you might enjoy getting a look behind the scenes here."

"So this is like a check-up?" Hannah asks, with something like a smile.

Then an easy shrug. "So look around here, lunch, Neptune tour."

[dr_temperance]

"Something like that."

Of course, she's checking up on something more important than a skull.

"I think that sounds like viable plan."
