Day 26: Favourite fanfiction

Day 26: Favourite computer

I read a lot of B7 fanfiction, but that's too big a field for me to pick one or even a few.

There are only three main computers, but there was a question about cliffhangers and there were only three (or four) of those.

My favourite is Zen, even though he was occasionally mysteriously obstructive and not as chatty as Orac and Slave, but he was otherwise helpful and reliable. Plus, any computer that can devastate me when he said sorry that he had failed them when he was dying has to be the one - I never trusted Orac, and Slave annoyed me.

I also have a soft spot for Gambit. I wish Vila had managed to rescue enough of her to have had a friend.

All the original questions are on Tumblr.

Yes, it's the delivery that really makes that line.

I think it's also funnier because it's less expected - you know Vila would make a joke at that point, but Cally takes you by surprise.
