These misfits got stuck in my head, so I had to write more. There's at least two more chapters after this, possibly a little more...
Edit: Minor change to the "blind at the Venn Machine" bit to match something that came up in the Writer's Guide comments - the Venn Machine displays aren't dependent on vision, and even if you're blind, you can still see the interface. Max could have seen the duration when Carol set it, but wasn't expecting to be able to see so he wasn't looking in the right direction.
