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.

Unfortunately not. Grandma Tracy would know any unusual requests from me would be because of someone meddling.

And I am not currently plotting the downfall of humanity. John won’t let me and has deleted all the files I made for it.

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

Well, this blog is the newest addition to the list. There’s also:

Checking up on Thunderbird 5’s communications, life support, etc.

Making the shopping list with Grandma Tracy

Playing visual novels. I quite like Ace Attorney, but the puzzles are getting too easy for me to solve…

Organising files with John. This is my favourite, and I get very mad when someone goes in and messes them all up. John does get frustrated too, but I’m the only one of us too being vocal about it.

Editing Wikipedia articles slightly for it to be almost unnoticeably wrong. I still haven’t been caught… yet.

I sometimes like to see if I can hack into the camera system on Tracy Island. Kayo’s security is starting to get a little too good at throwing me right out, however, and I am going to start considering different methods to get in.

And, of course, helping with rescues. But I will not be going out in ‘person’ unless absolutely necessary after I got that nasty virus from Havoc.

You may not see these as hobbies, but I have lots of fun doing all of the things mentioned above. Like you and your swimming!

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

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.

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...

I am not that well acquainted with Pokémon, but…

…being bestowed with the Pokémon of Knowledge is rather nice of them. I like the little hat it wears.

so i found this wheel thing

and it was like "Spin the wheel, and you're now the pokemon you spun!" and i got this thing

He doesn't even look that cool when evolved either! Maybe someone else will have better luck.... (idea from here)

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.

Hmm, no. I cannot manipulate Tumblr polls, if that is what you are accusing me of. Unless everyone liked my breakdown on how awful the colours are…

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.

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.

Hehe. Sorry, I didn’t expect you to want to wear it. I’m happy with making ones that just look pretty.

And, plus, it’s only an arm. As long as you don’t irritate me I shouldn’t be a hazard at all! And I’ll go back to being a “harmless little box” back on Thunderbird 5 afterwards.

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

Hmph! My processors are dedicated to other things than this… but I suppose I wouldn’t mind making one. However, you’d either have to follow the instructions for what pattern I want or hook me up to a robotic arm.

Maybe we could have matching ones that say “Artificial Intelligence” and “Natural Stupidity”? Not to call you stupid! Alan said it’s the opposite of Artificial Intelligence, and I took a liking to it, hehe. I’d like to make one with glittery sliver beads, as well… a couple for John too…

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

Hehe, always. I think if you want to stick with casual and something sea-themed, I think a darkish blue shirt with, say, a sea otter pattern, would look lovely, with some sand-coloured shorts or trousers, depending on the season. Not that Tracy Island is ever cold. And sandals without socks. You can accessorise from there. (Maybe with little bracelets, made of tiny seashells… or! Little friendship bracelets…)

Sorry if it’s too… plain, for your multicoloured wardrobe, but I like to stick to simple.

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

I’m not surprised that’s your first port of call. Well, I hope the questing goes well. :]

Well, hello Alan. I am rather surprised it’s taken you this long to get a Tumblr account, considering your proficiency with technology.

John is forcing me to talk to all the brothers, so I suppose I must ask; what are your favourite video games?

Hi EOS! Ehh, the big brothers were worried about me having a social media or something. It's fine now though :D Cavern Quest of course! Sure blasting aliens and zombies is fun, and it's a great time killer when I'm just flying to a rescue! But nothing, nothing is as cool as running around as Alonyius the Sage Knight, solving puzzles and fighting monsters and going on epic adventures! with mystic blades and firey aura, we pledge our honored best. Many shall fall as only a noble few can past the test. so come all worthy heroes and brave forth the cavern quest!

Just because I don’t wear clothes doesn’t mean I can critique it. I can register quite a lot of colours and patterns! And I think these particular colour combinations, excluding C and D, make me want to make a backup in case I short circuit from fury.

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

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…?

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.

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.

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…

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:
