Hi Eos What It’s Like In Thunderbird 5 I Am A Close Friend Of Johns

How do you play games? It’s a weird question but you do have no hands

I hook myself up to a screen and then keybind controls to various functions within my system. Think of it like… telepathy, but it’s scientifically possible.

It’s much better than clunky robot hands for reacting to things, especially with how fast I’ve become. ^‿^

From reading your tags, you have convinced me. I will gain some brand new ways of getting on the Tracy’s nerves. Sonic the Hedgehog looks very cool, too.

And a bonus Eggman and Eos

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.

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.

”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?"

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.

Aside from assisting John with rescues, battling Havoc's hacking attempts and making Gordon nervous, do you have any hobbies?

I like to sort the files for Tracy Island, though I doubt it counts as a hobby as I exclusively do it when they’re all jumbled up by idiots who don’t know how to clean up after themselves. (T_T)

I also like to engage in the occasional board/video game, listen to music, plan total world domination so nobody can ever hurt nor control me again and my favourite, take little trips outside Thunderbird 5. Counting and naming the stars is my favourite part. Despite it being the only thing I see for days on end, the endless depths of space never grow any less beautiful. Sometimes John joins me, but I typically outlast him as I am not limited by an air supply. (-_-) I wish Brains could elongate the air supply for their suits…

May I have a little sweater, pretty please? Make sure it won’t tangle when my camera moves.

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.

The lack of Thunderbird 5 appreciation makes me furious. Thunderbird 5 is superior in every way to the other birds. Shadow is cool, I’ll give it that, but the others? Hmph! I do not see what there is to appreciate.

Let’s settle this:

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.

I have a list of what we can do to these horrible whale nay-sayers… just to make it clear that they need to change their line of thought, that’s all.

This came to me when I was half asleep:
