Title: A real lemon
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Owen, Tosh, Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 543 - Lemon at tw100
Notes: Jack in not nearly as enthusiastic about their latest rift find as Owen expected him to be.

'What was it this time?' Owen asked as he watched Tosh and Jack return. 'Busted refrigerator? Pile of paving bricks? Giant log?'

'A spaceship,' Tosh replied. 'Unoccupied and undamaged. Jack thinks maybe it got sucked through the rift from a used spacecraft lot.'

Owen watched as Jack walked past, tossing his coat over the railing. 'How come you're not more excited?'

Jack grimaced at him. 'Because it's a Model 8 Punto, otherwise universally known as the greatest lemon of a spaceship ever to have been commissioned and commercially sold. A tin can with an outboard motor would get you further.'

Look on this as a challenge, Jack! With all the spare parts in the archives, you and Tosh could overhaul the lemon and turn it into the envy of every spacer around.
