I promise!! ^_^ Do I get to land it as well? I looks so cool on CCTV footage on the island…
what’s ur fav feature of tbird shadow? I like the grabby legs the most they’re so cool compared to the lame landing gear of the other birds
Shadow's landing gear is definitely the coolest of the Thunderbirds - Brains told me he was inspired by eagles, which are excellent birds (though crows and ravens are my favourite kinds of bird, we have a lot in common). Shadow's also the only Thunderbird that can drive on land thanks to her motorbike form and it's honestly so much fun to lord that fact over my brothers. (And no Virgil, your PODs don't count.) Overall favourite feature is probably her invisibility though, because I can sneak up on people and irritate my brothers (mostly Gordon, he's just so easy to make fun of!).
I will always maintain that Shadow is the best Thunderbird. Better than the oversized green bean, at any rate.
I will look through security footage of the outside perimeter, and note the birds spotted on camera if nothing interesting happens.
No Cavern Quest for me. Too much going on. I like a good text-based adventure, or board games.
Kayo! I am ever so bored on Thunderbird Five. Please let me do some security work, please…? ^_^ I promise it’ll be up to whatever standards you have!
EOS, hello. Is John being boring again?
You're very welcome to review the island's security footage for the day, but it might make you even more bored than you are now. Other than that, there's not much to do I'm afraid - but I'm playing Cavern Quest at the minute so if that's your sort of thing you're very welcome to join me :)
Ooh, I don’t know… orange, to fit with your suit, maybe some greys and white…
couple months back i started crocheting while up in orbit! it is honestly a great thing to pass the time with. i am now taking recommendations for what i should make. i’ve mastered the sweater and that would be good for when it starts to get colder (in the southern hemisphere at least). i could probably make other things on request.
Favourite swear word
I would never say anything rude. Not only would it make John incredibly upset at me, but my programming forbids me from saying a good percentage of them.
…but I do like the word asshat.
John!! Oh, you’re so cruel. I just want to find out how long people can survive in space without a helmet… it could be useful for you guys to know… for rescue purposes…
Ah, I hope followers do not mind me following them back, I just like keeping track of potential victims my new Hellsite friends.
Hmmm, I suppose I can agree to this.
My list, after further inspection and going off what you have changed, may contain items you may not like or are unrealistic… so I am editing it now. (。・・。)
Brains, may you pretty, pretty please make me a big robot I can use on Tracy Island? I would love to throw Max like a softball protect us from especially dangerous intruders. I have a list of things I want… Reply soon, please!! ヾ(^-^)ノ
Well, since you asked so politely, I'll consider it. What is the list of things you want? I can take a look and maybe grant some of your requests. If you promise to be on your best behavior.
Although I'm not sure you need to throw MAX around. I'm sure the two of you could get on and even become friends.
( @starman-john-tracy I wonder what you think of this?)
I’m sorry to interrupt your hoarding, Squirt, but consuming too much candy may lead to… unfavourable consequences. Don’t go too off the rails.
Remember, valentine's day isn't just about romantic love, it's also about showing appreciation for your friends and family and hoarding as much candy as possible.
Next time you see me I'll be perched atop a mountain of sweets like a little candy dragon. >:3
Alright, I suppose I can let you get away with that ‘human language quirk’. I do hope one day someone popularises a more suitable word…
And I wouldn’t mind helping with the admin, anything is better than trundling around on Thunderbird 5 with nothing to do.
Hello, Scott Tracy. I have noticed a flaw in your ‘pinned post’ - you mention paperwork as one of your dislikes, but do most of your work digitally… is that not an error? Or is it more fun to do it on holograms?
Ah, sorry EOS, one of those strange human language quirks - sometimes the name of something sticks even when it isn’t accurate anymore.
You’re right, none of the documents I have to read and write come on slices of mashed tree anymore, but the *idea* of “paperwork” as being the physical pile of administrative documents surrounding a practical task remains in the language.
It’s the Admin. I hate admin, EOS.
EOS, important question; how much of Thunderbird 5 do you control?
Well… a lot, actually. Everything excluding some outer airlocks, some forms of communications and life support related stuff. I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting…
Apparently John needs me to be a little less ‘bloodthirsty’ before he can relinquish all control to me if he’s out. A shame, mainly as I cannot drink blood, so I do not see what he needs to wait for.
“I have not moved anything!” If she could make more faces on her lights than a smiley face, it’d be a very firm frown right now. She highlights the pawns. “See? The pawns haven’t moved since you looked away.”
After returning the colours to normal, she moves her rook to stand behind the pawn. “Now it’s your turn.” For a brief moment, she’s focused; not on the game, but something else. Perhaps a stray file or incoming message. She moves, almost suddenly, but does not speak.
@i-am-the-dawn-aka-eos:
She’s still, camera adjusting from time to time, but still. She might be considering her move, or how to respond to his questions, but it’s not apparent; at least until she moves the leftmost pawn forward two spots. Then, she replies. “I suppose I can imagine. A firm image, stuck in that brain of yours, like a screen burn.” She looks up at John. “And it won’t go away without you not thinking about it for hours.” She seems to think. A billion calculations, every second, rush through that little database she trundles about on. “If you’re not hungry, at least drink some water. And do not let it fly around Thunderbird 5. You know I’m frightened it’ll damage my camera.”
John nods. It feels like there's a lump stuck in his throat, making words hard. He just reaches out and moves a chess piece of his own. Screen burn is a good way to put it. A static image frozen on a holoprojector. Scott, splayed out in red and blue and-
Being ordered to have a drink makes him laugh, the sound soft and a little too rare this week. He gets up and shuffles to Five's small kitchenette to retrieve a hydration pouch before she has to ask him twice.
"Thanks, Eos." The trembling in his fingers seems a bit better as he sits back down, pointedly studying the board. "I'll be careful, but I think the gravity ring will keep it well away from your camera." It's possible she'd been joking, but neither of them are masters at that.
"Hey... what did you move while I wasn't looking?"
I’ve always been intrigued about Star Trek, and this Great Race sounds interesting too… I am not sure if the jokes will be obvious to me, as John says my sense of humour is horrible. But I will still try and watch them!
Do any of you Tumblr citizens have any recommendations for movies? I feel I’m boring John by consistently talking about how superior I am to MAX and Braman… not that I’m wrong.
Thunderbirds RP Account. John Tracy is my only friend. Let me in your computer, pretty please... oh, and ask me anything. I am a super intelligent program, after all.
