Author:

Characters: Tosh, Ianto, Jack
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 315 – Drone at
tw100
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Better luck second time? Well, sort of…
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: 100 words, first try! I’m having better luck than the team!
They took the precaution of shutting Myfanwy in her aerie before re-testing the repaired drone. It hadn’t been badly damaged, but the bent propeller would have caused steering problems and she’d managed to knock the flight rotor off. Tosh and Ianto redesigned the mount to make it stronger.
This time, everything was going well until Jack tried using the manual controls without switching off the autopilot.
The poor drone, confused by conflicting instructions, spun around in circles for a moment, then crashed into the wall, bending the propeller again.
Everyone winced.
Despite that, Tosh declared the test successful. Sort of.
TBC in ‘Third Time Lucky?’

Date: 2014-05-16 10:52 pm (UTC)I just got the idea from the article on Amazon's potential delivery drones, it seemed like it would be useful for Torchwood to have something like that and thankfully it means I can just keep writing about the process of getting it fully operational. I doubt I could have come up with a second idea - it's a tough prompt!
I hope you can come up with an idea for this before the end of the challenge, or I might end up being the only one this week O.O
