Rating: PG
Challenge: 600 - Mechanical at tw100
Notes: Jack always wanted a dog. A double drabble.

'What the hell just teleported into our cargo hold?' Jack demanded to know, doing his utmost to stop the ship's alarms from bellowing.

'You stay here and turn that racket off,' Ianto replied, reaching for his gun from under the console. 'I'll go check it out.'

'Be careful,' Jack warned him.

'Always,' Ianto promised.

His gun was up when he hit the button to release the inner cargo bay door. If he was anticipating an intruder, he was disappointed. He tapped the comms on the wall. 'It's okay, Jack. Looks like it's just some kind of mechanical bot. Probably got intercepted by accident.'

'I am not a bot, master,' it replied, twirling its antennae ears at him. It almost looked like a dog, shaped as it was.

'Master?' Ianto replied.

'I am K-9.'

'Oh, I get it. Clever.'

'Master sent me to keep an eye on you. He said you may get into trouble. I am programmed to assist in any way possible.'

Ianto frowned. 'Who's your master?' Two seconds ago he thought he was.

'The Doctor.'

'Ah, makes sense.'

'Ianto?' Jack called, footsteps getting closer. 'When you said it's a bot...'

'Jack, meet K-9. A gift from your Doctor.'

Now that's a nice gift to receive, I'm sure K-9 will be useful to have around.
