Challenge: 364 - Tear
Notes: Even geniuses have their bad days

Tosh is ready to tear her hair out.

She's handled all kinds of complicated alien tech, but this object has her utterly confounded.

She presses the button. Nothing. She presses it again. Still nothing. Why won't it eject? What the hell is wrong with it?

Thick black smoke starts rising from it and she has no option but to disconnect it from the power source to prevent further damage.

It's not her usual style, but she growls loudly in frustration.

'Still can't get it to work?' Ianto asks gently.

'Stupid toaster. Third day in a row it's cremated my bread!'
