Summary: Tosh hasn't convinced Jack.
‘I hope you know what you’re doing,’ Jack said, frowning even as Tosh’s fingers continued to fly over the keyboard, turning a tapping staccato into a constant thrum. He knew she was totally brilliant, but there were things in this world – technologies that had been around for centuries even when he’d been born – that Jack couldn’t wrap his brain around. He had no idea how any twenty-first century human, even one as clever as Tosh, could work it out.
‘It should work,’ Tosh replied, not even pausing.
Jack’s eyebrows arched upwards. ‘Should?’ That wasn’t the word he’d been hoping for.
