doctor who (dl) donna noble

(no subject)

[Donna appears in the plane, looking mighty pleased with herself. This may have to do with the nice desk and more or less modern looking computer on it.

She pops back off and returns with two chairs and seats herself in one. Then she stabs a homemade sign into the 'ground' which reads: 'FREE COMPUTER AND INTERNET LESSONS. BRIGADIER, THIS MEANS YOU'.

Anyone is welcome to come get an internet ~~is for porn~~ lesson]

Who the hell needs that crap, anyway?

[beams, 'cos she's used to Gene's type] Loads of people. The internet's quite the resource for anything you'd like. Besides, makes my jobs loads easier.

Why's everything got to be easy? Good old fashioned detective work is just fine.

I still work hard. It's just better for resources. C'mon, sit down and give it a try. Anything you want to find at all.

[and here is the Brigadier, since the sign says he's required basically. he chuckles a bit]

Giving me no choice in the matter, Miss Noble?

[pats the chair beside her]

None at all. I thought it might help you out. Or give you a better pastime.

[he sits, then]

I don't quite see how- Miss Noble, you aren't trying to pull a bit of a joke on me, are you? I've seen computers in my time and this looks nothing like them.

'Course it's a computer. It's mine, actually. I made sure to nip back and get it before the Doctor took off. Not too shabby, is it?

...I'm afraid I'm more used to computers taking up the entire room - or a good chunk of it.

[he pokes the computer]

It works, then? Like this, I mean.

The punch card ones, yeah? I've seen those.

But yeah! This'll work. Why don't you pick a topic and we'll use that as the starting point?

[Brig pauses] World War I, then.

All right! World War I. [googles it and see, Brig? lots of pictures and websites] 87,600,000 results.

Ah, a real Lost Technology? What year is this computer from?

2008! 'Lost Technology'? You're from the future?

I suppose so. It's 3073 where I'm from, but there's nothing like this anymore. All the computers are a rarity, and even more so if they work.

Huh, I don't think I've been there, then. I think the 3,000's for my Earth were part of the 'Golden Age' or the Great Empire or something like that. Ever played with a working computer?

A golden age? Mm, not really. It's more like a regression of society after the war 900 years ago. But, well, I've dabbled with a few, but not anything quite like this one. The ones at home are a lot bigger than this.

Any reason for the lessons?

Seems like loads of people don't even know what a bloody computer is.

Yeah? Different time periods and places, I guess.

Makes sense. But I've got nothing better to do. There can't be much harm in showing them while we're all here.

[Wanders over curious about the computer, since he has never seen one before.]

[beams at him] Hullo! Want to learn?

I guess? What is that thing anyway?

It's a computer. Processes data and all sorts of things.

Huh. [Looking at it curiously] What can you do with it?

[ Stare. Altena's rather advanced for Angela's world, but she's still not seen anything like this before. ]

[waves her over] Go on, have a look.

That's a bit...er...what, exactly?

It's a computer!

What's it for?

Oh, getting on the internet and writing up things and all that. Taking useless quizzes...
