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.

"Haven't you finished fixing my scanner yet?" Owen demanded as he approached Tosh's workstation. "It's the best one I've got, can't do my job properly without it."

Tosh gave an exasperated sigh. "You dropped it on concrete, Owen! It's not as if I can just glue the bits back together and have it be fine. I might not be able to fix it at all. Some of the components are damaged beyond repair."

"So get new ones!"

"How? This is mainly alien tech! I can't just go online and order new parts from the local branch of the alien electronics store! Ianto's down in the archives, seeing if he can find workable replacements, but if he can't then you'll just have to make do with your other devices for now."

"But they're nowhere near as efficient! It'd take me ten times longer to collect the same amount of data!"

"You should have thought of that before you dropped it then, shouldn't you? If you'd had the safety strap around your neck, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Now go away and stop interrupting me."

Owen stalked off, grumbling, and Tosh resumed her delicate work, determined not to be beaten.
