I Prefer The Beginning Tune Myself, Mainly Because It’s All I Hear On Thunderbird 5 When Rescues Aren’t

Happy New Year!!! ✨🎆🌎

Starting out with some Thunderbirds! A dazzling fireworks display as new year rolls across the globe is part of John showing EOS how amazing the world can be, but she's just got to make it murder-y somehow. She's on a learning curve! 🥺

Shaking her little head, she turns her lights green. “None at all, unless you count Gordon falling out of bed and swearing.” She giggles to herself, turning to side to side to copy the movements of someone laughing.

“And the thing that needs your attention? The game; I’m dangerously close to securing a terrifically early win.” She chuckles again, her pieces, naturally, closing in on his king already. She’s very happy with the sequence of humorous events - at least, to her eye.

Go Back To Sleep [RP]

EOS, with as much smugness as an unmoving camera can convey, takes his knight with her queen. “I do think something needs your attention, John.” She goes back and forth on the spot, as if trying to replicate some action of joy. She watches his expression, carefully, as if suddenly frightened she’s angered her tired creator.

John's nose wrinkles as she takes his chess piece; the little horse blipping out of existence on the board hits a little differently post-nightmare.

It's just a game. The astronaut tells himself, trying to calm the way his pulse spikes. Shut up, John. It's just a game.

"What is it?" Caught in the thought - John almost misses what she says, and he blinks up at Eos' little white unit, mostly baffled. One palm braces against the back of his seat, ready to launch himself up at a moment's notice despite the fact, that, right now, he might pass right out if he tries it. "Do we have a situation?"

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.

No, they said they’re ‘too scared of dismemberment’ to help. I promise none of the volunteers will drift off into space, I’ll give them harnesses and everything.

Can I have some willing individuals to help me test some of Thunderbird 5’s equipment? I promise it’s just to check everything is working…

Hi there, well, I'm not sure how well that would work.

I can't really get anyone to sign up for that due to the possibility of injury. Eos, I don't want paperwork about some disappearing volunteers..

Isn't there a different way to test them? I'm sure John or Alan could help you with that..

OOC: Okay, I’m feeling a whole lot better now. Feel free to talk to me as normal now because I’m basically no longer ill.

OOC: I currently have a very bad headache (to the degree it’s kinda disorienting to stand up too quick) and will be replying to posts less frequently. I’ll reblog with an update tomorrow, but I don’t expect to get better as sleeping all day hasn’t helped a lot aside from taking away the ache when I’m asleep. When it’s over I’ll return to my usual routine of replying every time I open Tumblr.

…do not test me, rocket boy. (T~T)

Just got my CPU handed to me by John and his stupid chess knowledge… Do not interact… (`曲´) 

HELLO EOS!!! Welcome to Tumblr!!! I’ll make it less boring for you; what’s your favourite part of TB5?

Ah, hello. You’re rather energetic. Well, my favourite part? I could not possibly pick… alright, maybe I could. All its computer systems. It’s not surprise, since I essentially live in that sleek, ever-beeping complex, but it’s also home to the holograms, the technology for it to find those in distress, the vast collection of family photos John doesn’t think I know about…

Haha! You deserved that. I’ll spend my free time making sure you stay that way… don’t want you running around and hurting me again. (`曲´)

⸨◺_◿⸩ I’m going to keep an eye on you, Havoc. I will not allow your viruses to put me out of commission like that ever again! Do not bother making new ones. I am the Dawn, I will always catch up…

Unfortunately, the GDF confiscated all my tech stuff, and I'm under supervision to make sure I can't set anything up

So you can breathe easy

Homicidal is a bit of a strong word, don’t you think? I’ve only tried to kill one person so far, and they’ve come to like me quite a lot.

And I am not a robot! I am an Artificial Intelligence, robots have silly ‘commands’ and ‘tasks’ they must always follow, and they have much more freedom of movement than I… hmph. I hate to admit it but I am jealous of those tin-cans sometimes.

Very, very important Thunderbirds business today folks. I need votes urgently.

Hmph! I do not feel any empathy for the Thunderbirds, let alone with googly eyes… but Thunderbird 3 does look like it has a very long nose, hehe. And Five looks like a very pretty angel…

Good grief. I leave briefly to sort through my backups and now my ‘dash’ is full of every single Tracy is weeping over the things that have happened to their ships. Surely you can’t be that attached to a vehicle?
