We have no idea how it managed to bend the way it did and as fully as it did, but it presumably happened in transit: it worked fine when Teresa had it at work, when I attempted to hook it up, it turned out to have a bent pin that could not be unbent.

Really, just... Bran was so named for a reason. Which, okay, you don't know the story/universe zir namesake is from, but: Bran is an uncommunicative bitch who changed zir body/outsides. And also, an asshole. :P
