Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Being able to send images of Rift arrivals to the Hub for identification comes in handy.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
Camera phones had to be one of the most useful inventions ever, Ianto thought as he snapped off a shot of the newest Rift arrival, a squat greenish-grey cylinder, and sent it to Jack’s phone.
“Any ideas?”
Jack opened the photo and pulled a face. “Unfortunately, yes. Keep a close eye on it but whatever you do, don’t touch it. After its journey through the Rift it could be unstable; the slightest movement might set it off. I’m on my way.”
“It’s that dangerous?”
“Let’s just say it has the potential to be. If it’s a dud then we have nothing to worry about. If it’s live… Well, we should just be thankful it arrived where it did. That building’s scheduled for demolition next week anyway. I don’t suppose too many people will care if it comes down a bit early.”
“Wonderful. So I’m stuck babysitting a bomb until you get here? How long?”
“Ten minutes at most.”
“What should I look out for while I’m waiting?”
“If it starts to vibrate and make a whining sound, get out as fast as you can.”
“Duly noted.”
Jumping into the SUV, Jack gunned the engine.
“I really hope it’s a dud!”
The End

You're welcome, always happy to help out, and I encourage people to save my fics for their personal pleasure, even pass them around.
If you go on AO3 you can download fics as PDFs or in several other formats compatible with certain ereaders.
