“Ow!” Tosh jerked her hands away from her keyboard, rubbing her fingers.


“Are you alright?”


She glanced up at Jack’s new hire, Ianto. “Yes, I’m fine, a static electric shock, that’s all. Mainframe’s just cranky. She acts up sometimes.”


“She?”


“Didn’t Jack tell you? The Hub’s computers are semi-organic technology, Mainframe is alive, in a sense and when something irritates her, I get electric shocks until I fix the problem. It’s sort of her way of asking for help.”


“Amazing. Well, I suppose I’d better get back to sorting the archives.”


Tosh watched him hurry away. Such a strange man.

People alays seem strange until you get to know them. Then you wonder how there was ever a time when you weren't friends.

Maybe Mainframe wants Tosh to accept and see Ianto quicker.
