Challenge: Roald Dahl Titles
Rating: G
Notes: No spoilers. Tosh investigates another bit of alien tech.
"A BFG," Tosh said in exasperation. "Another BFG." She looked at the readouts on her computer again and sighed.
"A what?" Gwen, passing by, looked puzzled.
"BFG. Buzzing, Flickering Gadget. It's our term for a piece of alien tech that does nothing but sit there and flash its lights and make noises." Tosh prodded the item irritably. Perversely, the lights blinking on it went out.
"Hmm. Interesting."
It was even more interesting when the thing sprouted legs and started to dance around. It seemed even alien worlds had the equivalent of toy robots. And the music was equally as irritating.
