The keyboard and mouse had just stopped working.
Eliot resisted the urge to slam a closed fist into the middle of the former and poked at random keys with his finger. The cursor continued to blink in the search box but made no other movement. A few circular motions got him nowhere either. That happened to be the extent of his computer knowledge. Mouse moved the pointer, keyboard made the letters, Photoshop pasted pictures, and Google brought up relevant and irrelevant information.
Unfortunately, the message board was now stuck up on the screen.
He ducked under the table and ended up with a disconnected USB cable for the wireless component. It must've knocked loose when he'd sat back down with his mug of tea, which meant he either had to fix it himself (and considering his distaste for computers, unlikely to happen) or call Hardison for help (in which case he might never live it down, no matter how many times he threatened.)
Looking at it from a pride point of view, it looked like it was going to be option number one. "Damn computers."
