(no subject)

[look, it's the Brig! and he has with him a desk and a computer. ...one that he hasn't somehow broken through not knowing what he's doing - Donna has been giving him lessons, after all. from all appearances, he's generally just fiddling with the internet: wikipedia and searching things on google specifically

the Plane totally gives him the time to do this, so he's taking a brief moment to use it to his advantage]

[coffee is stolen]

Oh, so she's educating you!

[he shoots the Master a displeased look and leans back in his chair]

On a few things.

Now now, Brigadier, we cater to a younger demographic. Mind your words.

[sips from coffee]

I fail to see how I said anything that needs minding.

Subtext, Brigadier. Subtext.

Would you like some coffee?

I think that says more about you than it does me.

[he shakes his head]

I'll get my own later.

You're so boring, Brig.

So what are you up to?

[hovering over shoulder now--]

[from all appearances, he has been hitting random article on wikipedia, since it's currently on 21549 Carolinelang]

I'm just trying to get used to all this.

What's that?

[Will be standing over here wondering wtf that box thing is.]

[he looks up] Ah. It's a computer.

[and this is the Brigadier hitting random article on wikipedia and just sort of staring for a moment before noticing Firo's existence]

Firo.

Sir. What is that? Some kind of television?

No. It's... er, a computer. One from Miss Noble's time.

[Wanders closer] Does what the name says, I'm guessing?

Well, there are various programs on here. Calculators, writing, drawing things. And the internet.

Internet?

[cue the Brig trying to figure out how to explain it] Well. It's- a bunch of websites, apparently? ...Alright, I don't quite understand it myself, but you and look anything up with it.

[peering over his shoulder]

I hate wikipedia. You try and look up one thing, then six hours later you're avidly reading about the birds of South America.

[he looks up at the Doctor] Miss Noble tried to use that as one of its better points.

A what? What's it do?

It stores and processes information, generally.

How?

Wiring, hard drives, programming, electricity, and a bunch of other things. I'm not quite an expert, but I know some.

Websites? [Imagining spiders now] How do you look things up?
