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.
And you would be right, especially factoring in your reputation for destroying your own Thunderbird. (゚A゚;) I’m keeping you off at all costs— uh, unless John really, really, really, really thinks you’re a good fit. …get an extra really in there. Then I suppose I can let you on…
Soooo if you can pilot every thunderbird... which is your favourite (excluding tb4 of course!) to pilot? Or even juicier do you have a least favourite? >:3
What do you mean excluding Four 😏
Favourite? That’s gotta be Two, given she’s the one I get the most airtime on (people always seem surprised when I say that - gotta keep the big guy’s air hours down where we can, so I’ll take the home stretch and let him snooze/kick back). She’s easy to fly once you’re used to the VTOL engines, very forgiving and there isn’t much she can’t do. Got a soft spot for the big girl, she and Four go together like peanut butter and jelly after all 💚💛
(And she isn’t determined to try and kill you like a certain other ‘bird)
Honourable mention to Three, but that’s Alan’s baby and he doesn’t share all that often.
Least favourite? It’s probably not that juicy 😂 Five (sorry @starman-john-tracy). It involves space and being trapped in space, and a distinct lack of the sea in space. The technology is incredible, but it’s John’s domain and I always feel like I’m intruding. It’s also far too far away from people, and absolutely not enough human contact, despite all the communications.
To be fair, I’m probably at the bottom of @i-am-the-dawn-aka-eos list of people to man Five too, so it’s mutual.
I can certainly do that; but it’ll take a lot of convincing to get Scott to let me play. Don’t be too suspicious and it’ll be smooth sailing from there.
And a wager? I’m not sure what I could possibly bet…
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 :)
hi EOS, i see u really want people to shoot into space… have u considered… less deadly experiments for us tumblr citizens to do?
But they’re boring. I don’t care about some silly ‘signs of life’ on Europa, I want to see if you can drink the water on Europa! Maybe the space ice gives it extra flavour… or radioactive qualities…
(◎ー◎)
Havoc? Since when has the GDF allowed interne- well I guess Fu- Clarence is here too so I shouldn't be too confused. Are you changed too..?
-🚀
Pfft, they're well known for slacking off.
I just had to bat my eyelashes at one of them (I think he's a bit sweet on me) and make a whole list of promises I'm never going to keep
What do you think?
You tease. I’ll… I’ll let you onto Thunderbird 5 without an access code next time if you give me the code!
Yes, the sunfish are ever gorgeous and stupid, yes, the sea otters are playful and intelligent… but what about any mesopelagic critters?! >:[ John won’t let me go on Thunderbird 4 so I can see them, which is utterly disappointing. Please enlighten me about your favourite deep-sea creature… or let me onto Thunderbird 4’s systems so I can see them for myself…? I promise I won’t take it for a spin… :]
EOS!! What are you doing on here?!
You… like mesopelagic creatures? I mean, it makes perfect sense from a horror point of view. It’s where the giant squid lurks for a reason
Sorry, you need the access code for Thunderbird 4. If you’ve got that, we can go for a spin no problem! But without it? Weeeeell… c:
I look so pretty, so tall and elegant, so sharp and strong… ahem. Please forward this to @brains-ir so I may look like this!!
Can you draw me again? …pretty please? ◕︵◕
as you wish :3
(btw this is more mun's thing)
I look very lovely, thank you for drawing me. But this ‘Eggman’ seems like an irritable fellow. I like how you’ve drawn everyone, especially John.
(in my maths notebook) John, Allie, TB5, Cinnamoroll and Bam
(in my physics notebook) John, Scooter and Gorbs
And a bonus Eggman and Eos
Hi Eos what it’s like in thunderbird 5 I am a close friend of Johns
Hello! It’s nice to see John getting closer to his friends. Be nice! Thunderbird 5 is lovely. I’m very glad I’m anchored to the rail on the ceiling, I’d rather not float around in low gravity. And it’s much less stressful than having to constantly hide as inconspicuous code back on earth… though some rescues make my processors run far too fast. My only complaint is that I wish I could have control of the arm on the outside of Thunderbird 5 again. John always says I might use it for bad, but I’ve learn my lesson, promise!
Do not fear, Squirt, I can provide some company if you so wish. I’d be happy to let you use my hardware for playing any video games, provided that the unlikely event of John showing me off to somebody doesn’t occur.
Are you looking forward to attending the Tracy Industries Gala with your family? Who are you going to dance with the most! :3
What? That's still happening?
Uhh yeah, I don't know if I'll be doing much dancing to be honest, I was planning on going backwards and forwards between the bar and the buffet all night and let the others do their thing without me getting in the way. (;^^)
Hopefully I'll get to spend some time with them tho.
They are both ideal candidates, but I doubt the Hood would be willing to be shot into space, let alone approach me about it. Fischler keeps shoving off to the other side of the globe every time we find him… it’s like trying to find a wrong input in binary.
Hello. John says I need to make something known to you “Tumblrinas” as a “Pinned Post” which is all about me.
I am EOS, the sentient AI (I prefer the term ‘program’ due to the… negative connotations with AI at this point in time) onboard Thunderbird 5. I utilise She/Her or They-Them pronouns, though I think Your Supreme Intelligence is much better. John says it’s “narcissistic”.
I love lots of things, such as my fellow computers, especially the tech utilised in the olden days (John says the 2000s aren’t that long ago, but I was only brought into existence recently.), especially the speak and trends used back then. I also really like stamps and blinkies, and may “reblog” posts with them.
(According to John, block the “tw flashing lights” tag in case you don’t want to see any flashing ones! I will give this tag to all my (re)posts with flashing blinkies/stamps, as I don’t want to kill any of you… yet.)
I also have interest in how everything ticks and beats, so I will be asking you peculiar questions about your works or ways of speaking. I will also be mean and honest, so don’t go crying to John or his brats of brothers if I tell you your shoes look absolutely horrendous. (They do. Plain black boots suit you better.)
(OOC: The person behind this blog wishes to remain anonymous. They would also like to state that their coding intelligence is not tremendously extensive, so don’t expect them writing expert code in response to any questions about code. Also the 2000s stuff is just for looks hehe but I don’t mind talking about it!!)
Here is my current collection of stamps that I think represent me the most. Beware, flashing lights are below the cut…
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.
