The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: For the prompt 'The New Mobile Trio, one of the prompts I didn't get around to using for tw100's challenge 288 last year. I've dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.

I love Janto: We're definitely not - we can't even treat other humans nicely.

No weedkiller, but guns, stun guns and flamethrowers come in handy against the more aggressive and hostile aliens.

The 100,000 words thing is a bit of a cheat really as it includes all the headers, notes, replies to comments etc. rather than just the words of the fics themselves, so it's really only around 39,800.

Thank you!

Tosh was a genius. Anything involving computers and circuit boards was child's play to her.

So, when Jack charged her with creating a mobile phone network for Torchwood that couldn't be hacked, she threw herself into the task with enthusiasm.

Adapting the phones was simple, so she went further, creating devices that plugged into the mobiles, converting them into hand-held scanners capable of taking and storing a wide range of readings. Then she added a final innovation.

She called the new phone the Trio.

When Jack asked why, she grinned.

"Because it's a phone, scanner, and sonic screwdriver in one!"
