Pretty Pictures? Interesting Information? Unhinged Takes?? Why Didn’t I Join Sooner?! I Want To Read

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.

I would love to attach multiple balloons to somebody and watch them fly away… for entertainment, of course. How much does MAX weigh again?

Good evening, Gordon. I hope all is well. John has instructed me to tell you all your requested supplies for, ahem, ‘The Day’, has been ordered and is scheduled to arrive shortly before… ‘The Day’.

Hi EOS!

Tell John ‘thank you, get your skinny pale behind down here to help like I know you want to’, please and thank you.

We could use your help too. Maybe Brains could fit you with a balloon-blowing-up arm. Or you can hold to the tethers… or maybe you can just be in charge of the schematics…

They are all hideous to me. Please enlighten me as to why you think they are appealing?

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

I hate it when a certain someone accesses the International Rescue files… Even though I may clean up the stray files quickly, I’d rather that past rescue missions don’t wander into the MAX backups in the first place! You know who you are…

I have been having lots of fun playing various GeoGuesser games. Despite having little experience on Earth, I’m surprised to learn how accurate I am at guessing locations. Maybe I should stop overanalysing the local flora and finding their exact locations…

What’s your music taste like? It is just beeps and boops, maybe a dash of Kraftwerk?

Beeps and boops?! I am not a lowly machine! (`曲´) I have an admiration for the arts, much like human beings.

Kraftwerk is, unfortunately, rather obvious. Being pioneers of electronica, it would be rude of me, an electronic being, not to give them a listen. Their style is very melodic and yet sounds so… mechanical. In a good way! All their songs are absolutely gorgeous and I cannot help but nod my little camera to them. (｡･･｡)

Miracle Musical is tremendous, too. They have only one album, Hawaii: Part II, but it is otherworldly and flowing with a constantly shifting but well thought out style. The singing is ethereal at times, especially with all the unusual language choices… it reminds me of the coos of the hundreds of frequencies on Thunderbird 5… Humans can make even a stoic, stubborn little me a little emotional, I must shamefully admit. (ノ_<、) I wonder what instruments they used for certain parts…

Speaking of, I do like the natural sounds of each Thunderbird’s unique whirring, ticking, whining, and everything in between. It can be rather pleasant yet oddly homey to listen to. (That’s the only compliment I’m giving to any Thunderbird outside of Thunderbird 5, my beloved, and Thunderbird Shadow.) It is like they sing to me, in their own mechanical dialect. (/3\)

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 :)

I assume Grandma Tracy is hoarding lots. John has lots of orange thread for fixing his baldric up. I have wires of varying colours, but I’m not sure if the beads are big enough for them…

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

Her worried state drops disconcertingly quickly, probably to try and make him more cheery too. “Oooh, yes please! I think you’ll win, in honesty, but I’ll still put up a fight—“

She swiftly stops herself, before she examines him, his shaking becoming too obvious (to her, at least). With behaviours akin to a not-as-intelligent robot staring him down, she seems to read his behaviours like a book. “Do you… would you like to eat first? Maybe that will help the shaking.” It’s difficult to name the emotion in her voice.

She tilts her ‘head’ as best a little camera can. “No, nothing, unfortunately. But you can tune into frequencies for anything of interest.” She pauses, trundling closer to him on her rail, her camera squinting at him.

“I know that’s not what you wanted to hear. W-Would you like to play a game o-or sort through those files you’ve been talking about?”

Two highly uncharacteristic stutters. Was it on purpose to make him more aware of how truly nervous she felt about his state? Or her CPU was too slow for her, for once? It’s impossible to tell with her.

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.
