Title: Second Test – Sequel to ‘First Test’

Author: [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted

Characters: Tosh, Ianto, Jack

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 315 – Drone at [livejournal.com profile] 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?

As a pilot you would think Jack would know better than to leave the autopilot on - I suppose that's what happens when he gets over-excited!

Loving this little series.

Looking forward to more.

Jack obviously has the attention span of a two year old when it comes to new toys to play with.

Poor Jack; he's harder on this drone than Myfanwy was! But at least they know the propeller area needs to be redesigned.

You'd think a pilot would know better... LOL!

Oh dear. Maybe let the CREATORS of the drone test it the first few times, eh, Jack? :-p

I can just hear Jack now: "I meant to to do that!"

Poor Jack. I know the feeling of getting a new toy and then having it get busted. It sucks. At least he's got a genius like Tosh to fix it. ;)
