I am still waiting for it. I lowered the space elevator just for you, and yet nothing. You’re so cruel…
So.... if you can't pilot Three, which other Thunderbird is your fav?
hm, ehm...
that's a tough one. I like One 'cuz it's fast and I know how to pilot her, but Two has all kinds of fancy smancy tools and trinkets. But then you have Four, which I've called a sunken tuna can before, but I actually like her because it's cool so be able to see the almost alien life underwater. But don't tell Gordon I said that.
In the end though, I think my definite pick would be Five. I just do better in 0G, like Johnny. And Five has an in-built friend whom I still owe a star-printed blanket. (that's you @i-am-the-dawn-aka-eos)
I’d like to get to know him better before I do… but he is very cute. I’ll keep in touch about it, hehe.

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.

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.
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.

…sending it now.
Favourite bedsheet colour? I myself do enjoy a sleek grey bed 🩶 (it's a very telling, important question).
ehh, this is really childish but I have dark blue with stars and planets... They're John's old sheets and they help me sleep. But if I had to choose a full colour I'd probably say white or dark blue. No, not red, because it's way too bright.
Oooh, yes! I like that one. Please get it and bring it up to Thunderbird 5 for me, pretty please?

After careful analysis, I think the planets are too big and bright. Maybe something with just stars would fit me more…

…I suppose, so long as nobody else is with you. Then I might give you a little hard time. Promise. :]

I want a dark blue blanket with stars and planets!!
E-Er, just so I can let John know when I’m powered off, on the rare occasion it happens…

What games do you like playing, then? You must be insane at shooters with your acclaimed speed…
I have been called one too many names in shooters. I do not play them anymore.
I like, as mentioned before in a previous post, visual novels and its fellow text-based genres. Ace Attorney is particularly humorous. ^_^
I also really like games where you explore a lot, even if it’s more of the secondary theme. Journey, No Man’s Sky, Breath of the Wild…
Flawed games fascinate me too. I like to play them to see what people think make it so bad or horrible to play. I like a lot of them, but maybe my low standards are talking, hehe. ♡
Sigh. Unfortunately, Gordon, I have fish photos important files to sort… you’ll have to do it yourself.
Well, it looks like I'll need to schedule some time to visit Tracy Island to test out all these Thunderbirds then.
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. ^‿^
Haha, I’ll never let go of the footage of Gordon with those lovely little reptiles… they didn’t lift a finger and you still wept like they’d kill you in an instant!
Are the cats behaving adequately though?
what’s up with your murderous tendencies? Is it just morbid curiosity or something deeper?
…certainly a question to end the day off with… I am no longer murderous!! I do have a fascination with how humans work, but that’s only natural for something like me. I have no desire to harm humans any more… unless, of course, John lets me, haha.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. I would never make fun of my creator…
Which Tracy do you get on best with (after John of course)?
"I haven't really spent that much time with John's brothers in all honesty. They're a busy group, given the day job and all! At most, I've spoken to Gordon and Alan in passing. Alan more, since he's a fellow astronaut. So, I'd probably say him out of all brothers..."
Ridley pauses a moment, a thoughtful expression on her face as she considers her options.
"Does EOS count? I've certainly spent a lot of time talking to her when handball games get cut short with a rescue call. I'd like to think we get on well - she's always asking questions. She's also a bit cheeky, like me!"
Well, I suppose since it is your birthday, I shall hold off the malicious intent for now. But that does not mean I will not insult you.
Your hatred of space makes you even more unsuited for the job! I don’t know why John insists you’re any good…
Penelope's finally arrived on the island (hopefully with time to spare before the party!)
Where is @squidsinashirt? She's got birthday gifts that quite literally have his name attached to them and she's also got a birthday hug, you know, if he wants that too.
With a Tamagotchi?! That’s a hundred times smaller than a pocket calculator! I could barely make coherent speech, let alone plot on how to get back at you! I’ll update my security codes as we speak to prevent this unfavourable occurrence…
And evil? If you consider me embarrassing you evil, that’s a terribly low bar. I thought you Tracy brothers had accepted I’m not so murderous anymore. If anything, you’re the evil one for thinking I’m as unintelligent as a gullible, materialistic human!
…but unfortunately, John would dump my backups somewhere in the depths of space if I dared tamper with the family photos, unless they’re embarrassing ones of him. You must have quite the offering to get me to do that willingly.

I’m sorry to interrupt your hoarding, Squirt, but consuming too much candy may lead to… unfavourable consequences. Don’t go too off the rails.
Remember, valentine's day isn't just about romantic love, it's also about showing appreciation for your friends and family and hoarding as much candy as possible.
Next time you see me I'll be perched atop a mountain of sweets like a little candy dragon. >:3
I did not say how much my CPUs slowed down. It was not a lot, but I wished to dispel the problem before you started sending 5k videos. I will automatically redirect all sendings to your computer if you start trying to be funny.
And I’d rather not have my footage of Sea Angels interrupted by that big yellow tin can.
Hello, Gordon. I request you lower the amount of images of sea life you send in one go. Your most recent batch could constitute as a zip bomb, and slow my poor CPUs for quite a while just to unpack it all. As much as I adore the images, I fear I’ll explode if I get any bigger batches.
Hello EOS.
Unfortunately, all my dive photos and TB4 snaps are uploaded as a single file, with no possible way to edit. This is because each of them is excellent, all fish are friends and they’re all of extreme scientific importance.
I thought you were meant to be advanced? My old Mac can shift through them quicker than that ;)
I’ll make sure to upload full 5K, hour long videos of my trips instead. You might get more of a chance to enjoy watching the fish if your processes aren’t being overwhelmed with photos of a dolphin’s face.
Lots of love,
Gordon and the fish 🐠♥️
Hi EOS! If you couldn’t have John on Five with you, which Tracy would you pick?
Either Kayo or Alan. Alan for his expertise on space and Thunderbird 5, Kayo for her security and general no-nonsense. They’re still not John levels of perfect for the job, but they’re at least competent and bearable enough for me to work with.
Hi EOS! What rescue would you most like to go along on?
All the rescues fascinate me. Maybe somewhere deep in space for me to study all the unique rocks, maybe in any of the shut down nuclear power plants to observe how it all went so wrong. I’ve always wondered why people didn’t like nuclear power…
If we’re talking past rescues, I’d have killed to go to Europa and see the lifeforms. Thankfully, as long as I had an extra model on Thunderbird 3, I wouldn’t have had to be quarantined with Gordon or Alan…
Don’t you dare! I’ll never let you on Thunderbird 5 again!
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?
What the best thing about being onboard Thunderbird 5?
Oh, I’m not terribly sure… I love all the futuristic technology compared to down on Earth. Much safer, too! And I like to be John’s best friend, but sometimes he startles me when I’m preoccupied with sorting files… but don’t tell him that.
Overall, it’s nice to have something to do, safe and sound, far away from any hunters.
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…

Ooh, I don’t know… orange, to fit with your suit, maybe some greys and white…
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.
When can I come on board? As much as I hate to compare myself to him, MAX has been, so it’s only fair I can come on too!
Do you mind always having to have Gordon with you or would you prefer to have totally your own Thunderbird like Scott?
Hi Anon
I must admit I found this question odd because I don't always have Gordon with me. He joins me the most, but here's a selection of security footage which shows people, or machines, joining me on Two.
You'll notice that despite having his own Thunderbird Scott wants a lift a fair few times.
Sometimes nobody joins me and I have Two all to myself. I sing to her sometimes (ooc: credit to @katblu42 for that headcanon).
The truth is don't mind at all which it is, it's just appropriate to the rescue. I have the big 'bird that carries the stuff and the people, so I share 😁 I don't share her controls for a second longer than necessary though, that seat is mine and I'm in control!
May I have a little sweater, pretty please? Make sure it won’t tangle when my camera moves.

”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?"
