Thunderbirds Rp - Blog Posts

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?

”JOHN!! What on earth have you done to your hair?!” EOS almost yelled, mortified at his radical change in hair colour.

You should be tickled pink with the change, Johnny! 🦑

"..."

John's face goes through a truly impressive spectrum of expression, only to land firmly on exceptionally unimpressed.

"You're kidding... right?"

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 :)

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.

Of course they’re hobbies! I don’t tend to Thunderbird 5 every waking second of the day, nor the missions. I chip in for fun, whenever I’m not occupied with my other hobbies.

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

Hmph! John doesn’t let me have access to the Thunderbird hangar security cameras. If anyone, it was him!

hey guys, found some pictures of the guys on my phone so might as well share them!

Johnny, probably thinking about eating bagels

another one, this time from the background of a picture I deleted. Got it from Gordo, he took it while I was lost in space. He wasn't happy.

this one just makes me laugh.

that's it for now, I dunno what else to put. Need to get more embarrassing photos to share...

It sounds likes lots of fun, but I am certain I would absolutely demolish all of you. Not that I wouldn’t mind winning. I know Scott’s going to not let me play any Mario Party because he thinks I can modify the game in my favour… but I won’t tell you if I really can.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, all footage seems to have been scrubbed from the International Rescue database… on purpose. I am unsure if I can restore it, but I can find the perpetrator. Just give me a few hours.

so, bro, say... if I were to... accidentally knock a pool chair into the pool, and get part of it stuck in the mechanism allowing it to open for 1...

would you help me try to get it out before Scott notices?

Please?

-🚀

… Alan.

Yes, I’ll help you.

It’ll cost you a whole week of laundry duty though. Watching Scott trying to unwedge it while flapping about getting off the island in a hurry is comedy gold I will have to lose out on.

Well, I hope that all goes swimmingly. And I wouldn’t mind dealing with the more unruly ones…

I see you also have a Tumblr account, Lady Penelope. Are you as equally pestered as you are in the real world?

EOS! Hello, darling. How are you finding your experience so far?

I find it equal, in all honesty. Perhaps more so, in some respects. Though 'pestered' might not be the word I'd choose to describe it. The connotations are... a little unfair. People are curious, and there is nothing wrong with a little curiosity.

Gordon has been… unwilling in giving me the access code to Thunderbird Four. He did promise to send me some pictures of deep sea creature, however.

Hi EOS.

Have you ever considered taking a deep swim? Servers and all? Maybe in a nice reef somewhere?

Gordon, is that you? Hmph. I will not be dumping my precious servers and backups into a reef. John would not be happy with the cleanup… If my camera was built to resist the depths, then I would not mind putting my camera, and camera alone, into the ocean.

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!

Personally, I like Thunderbird 5 more, but I bet if I was let onboard sometimes, I’d place Shadow second… can I try Shadow out, Kayo? Pretty please…?

Yes, have no fear. I’m never too far from you in Five. And I keep your brothers contacts on standby at all times; no matter what you need them for.

"Go back to sleep, it's safe" with EOS? 🧡

It's not clear how long the AI has been trying to rouse him, but when John wakes, he wakes like a sailor scuttling a ship on rocks, plunging and heedless, expecting imminent impact.

"NO!" Corkscrewed in his sheets, John tries to rocket upright, only to find himself tangled horribly. He nearly tips himself straight off his bunk trying to thrash himself free. He's gasping, soaked in sweat, and the image of Scott falling to his death is seared, bright, on the back of his eyelids when he blinks.

John takes a ragged, gasping breath, and tries to calm his pounding heart. It's not real. It's not real. It's not-

"E-Eos?" John's voice comes out shaky and he hates it. That's the fifth time this week. Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Alan, on a never ending loop. All it takes is one close call on a rescue, and John's polyphasic sleep rhythm is trashed. His heart is in his throat. He feels physically sick.

"Go back to sleep," She tells him, small and soft, and more worried than a computer program has any right to be. "You are perfectly safe."

Instead, John buries his head in his hands and laces his fingers tightly through the strands. He makes a hunched, painful silhouette on the hard bunk. He's trembling.

"Either go back to sleep." Eos recommends, "Or call one of your brothers." She pauses, her worried orange ring of lights circling at his side, knowing full well there's no chance of that. "...Which was it this time?"

"Scott." His voice is thick as molasses. "I-I don't think I'm going to be getting any more sleep this phase..."

There's a crackly, static sound from the AI that's probably a sigh. He's already untangling the pretzel of himself and swinging his long legs over the side of the bed - a little too eager to bury his own problems in the problems of others, up in the command sphere - no matter that those legs wobble like a new colt as he stands.

"John." She sounds exasperated.

"Eos." He sounds resigned.

Do you participate in Tracy Island drama???

I dabble in it, yes. I like to help John in his arguments, petty or not, with his brothers. It’s rather amusing to hear the silly things they squabble about sometimes. (I have a few stories if you’re interested…)

In the unlikely occasion they’d come after me, I have enough blackmail to keep them quiet until the end of their lives. It’s amusing how flustered they get over such things. However, I’m not willing to leak it here. Unless provoked…

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…

I can assist the expedition, if you so wish, Fischler. I promise my management of life support and other important survival aspects won’t get International Rescue involved. John can back me up; I am excellent at keeping him alive.

Hmph. I suppose I can live with this. We have a deal.

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:

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.

Perhaps. I do not think someone of his personality would be a fan of silly movies like that, but I think he’d humour you. And… games? By the looks of it, you just watch the robots for the night. A simple Python program could do it.

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.

EOS, how’d you feel about a body with arms and legs, like Braman?

I want a big, tough body so I can “throw hands” with anyone who opposes me. Maybe with a couple hundred tools hidden on my person. I could be such a help by smashing apart obstacles and any horrible enemy in our path. Please, Brains, let me be big and intimidating so I can finally be the superior robot on Tracy Island.

Thank you very much for the welcome. Unfortunately, John has already found my account and is telling me asking for volunteers for being shot into space is “bad”. Hopefully I can evade his spying and get someone to help…

Ooh, yes, I’d love to watch those… but yes, alas, John says they’ll be a “bad influence” and “might make me try and kill again”. Hmph! As if my opinion can be swayed with a single movie.

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.

FNaF? It is meant to be a scary movie, but the animatronics are not disturbing in the slightest. Too fuzzy. I suppose, if you insist, I shall watch it.

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!

I refuse to ‘Yee some haws’. If you get your algae-covered mitts anywhere near my units I’ll hijack Thunderbird 4 and use it as my new body… ah, uh, maybe not. I still want to see those barreleye fish…
