Well this is… something.

Another day, another round of paperwork that has to be filed. Don't let the PR fool you; this job is 75% reports, meetings and red tape, and only 20% field-work. The other 5% is reserved for not picking fights with the top brass.

#thunderbirds rp #thundersocials #chatfromthecolonel

Your patience and dedication is admirable, Captain.

Took Four out for a evening swim and a check over at the reef. Went for a paddle and had some absolutely gorgeous visitors come to say hello 🦈

Don’t think I’ll ever not be in awe of these beautiful big creatures 🥹

#thunderbirds rp #thundersocials #chatfromthecolonel

Swimming… with…. Sharks, Gordon?

@zero-xlent are you aware of this?

thunderthirstbot

Sooooo

Colonel white.

Colonel ‘A Bit of Alright’ White? 🥵🤍

spectrum-officer-lt-green

Thats it.

This robot is going on the threats list.

*inhales coffee and chokes violently*

NOTHING, APPARENTLY, IS SACRED TO THIS BOT. IS IT CERTAIN THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ELIMINATE IT, @spectrum-officer-lt-green?

Oh no…

I’m too afraid to ask at this point what exactly I’ve stumbled upon here…

So if you haven’t been ghosted, what’s she doing and why is she not talking you?

I could tell you. But then you’d need to meet an unfortunate end and that would be sad soooo…

Doing what she does best, and doing it in style, I’d imagine 🙂‍↔️

You know, I'm starting to believe that these Anons are not simply fishing for gossip, but that they're trying to coax out classified information...

Spying? Through the medium of the hellsite?

Maybe they’re just wanting to know you’re alive and well 🙂‍↔️

I know I am

Or they might not, I suppose, depending on who’s trying to dig up the dirt…

Gossip is a viable spying method. It just seems, mostly, harmless, and people get comfortable and drop their guard, thoughtlessly give away little crumbs of information without realizing... It's an intelligence nightmare.

You’re talking @socialitesleuth’s language there.

Loose lips sink ships and all that, Captain.

Mr. Turner is right. You'd be surprised by the inventive ways moles get their information. It's always those you least expect.

And no, this absolutely isn't lingering paranoia from an undercover operation I've recently returned from...

Some very wise words, Lady Penelope. Perhaps a refresher in operational security for all of our GDF operatives on here is due…

I do hope the operation went well. It’s good to see you back safely.

Woah, woah, woah, Aunty Val??? When did you get here! Hi! 👋🏻

#chatfromthecolonel #thunderbirds rp #thundersocials

Yes, hello there Gordon. I hope you are behaving.

Thank you for your attention.

GREETINGS COLONEL CASEY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.

… the Mysterons?!

I… thank you very much. I think.

SHOULD WE ADD YOU TO THE LIST OF EARTH AUTHORITIES WE SHOULD INFORM WHEN WE NEED TO DEAL WITH EXTRA STELLAR SYSTEMS THREATS?

… you have dealt with extra stellar system threats? Dare I ask…?

YES. IT IS ONE OF THE TASKS THE ORIGINAL MYSTERONS LEFT FOR US.

AND THE ONLY ONE WE SHALL CONTINUE TO DO.

And… should I ask if there have been any recent extra stellar threats?

YES.

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD MAKE INQUIRIES TO SPECTRUM AND INTERNATIONAL RESCUE.

ONE QUESTION, AND PLEASE PARDON HOW INANE IT SOUNDS, BUT WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON FURBIES?

Furbies?

Those old toys that were rumoured to be haunted? Their faces are rather unsettling and I’d rather never see one again.

Why do you ask?

Yes, they mean those. Apparently the Cosmic Horrors they have been stopping look like a cross between Kaiju and Furbies and are roughly the size of Jupiter. They have tiny little minions that look very much like Furbies (I'm wondering if the Mysterons don't realize the minions may be off-spring.)

They very much would like it if all the furbies in the world were incinerated, but are exercising quite a bit of restraint.

There was an incident recently that involved the Pacific Ocean, but I'm hoping we're all going to set that aside and play nice now.

I really don't want to have any more Mysteron induced migraines. It's makes me grumpy, and when I get grumpy, my cats get grumpy, and when my cats are grumpy people's footwear is fair game for shredding or little pan use.

#thunderbirds rp #thundersocials #chatfromthecolonel #spectrum rp

Well, that is… absolutely horrifying. The blasted little things were creepy to begin with, but now this?

Gordon…? As in… @zero-xlent do you know anything about this?

An incident involving the Pacific Ocean?

As a side note, it is very good to see you back Captain, and I hope your migraines don’t trouble you too often.

Thank you for your attention.

Greeting from Spectrum, Colonel Casey. I expect @spectrum-id-col-white will contact you shortly.

I believe you've been made aware that I am no longer under the control of the Mysterons?

spectrum-id-col-white

Colonel Casey!

It- it is most pleasant to see you present. Although I must warn you that this site is certainly a tad… hectic.

#thundersocials #thunderbirds rp #spectrum rp #chatfromthecolonel

Well, well, Colonel White! How many of your officers did it take to convince you to join? Half of HQ had been pestering me…

Hectic? Should I be that worried?

zero-xlent

Do you ever wonder why you didn’t see the Hood for who he was long ago? How could you ever have been friends with him? Or did he change so much?

He changed, slowly. He always had a clever mind, sharp as a knife and ruthless in his dealings... but that was not originally a negative. His true colours came out slowly, and I didn't see it until it was too late.

I am sure he would say the same about me. That's the problem with power and money, you change. Whether for good or bad... your attitude towards life and the world around you changes. I'll admit, I had always seen my ambition and drive as a force for good. For humanity. Not everyone saw it that way, and I still do get challenged over it.

Sometimes I wonder what would be different had I seen it sooner. Would I have been separated from my family? Would he have hurt all of those people in his pursuit of power? Would he have enslaved a man?

Would we be on as good terms as we are with the GDF, with the world, had we not had a common enemy?

Perhaps it is naive of me, Jeff, but I would like to hope that the GDF would have had the good sense to see the positive benefits that working alongside International Rescue could offer even without the Hood’s… additions.

Alongside International Rescue… or alongside Jeff Tracy?

As I recall it took them one heck of a while to accept IR could be a force for good in his absence.

The Hood wasn’t the first to demand we hand over the Thunderbirds…

And on his reappearance it took the GDF and the World Government, what, 6 hours to decide they might order us to do it? Without you and Lady Penelope fighting our corner, giving us time to do the GDF’s job for them, what would have happened?

Don’t even get me started on Janus…

While I have the greatest of respect for many of its personnel, most especially yourself, forgive me for having my doubts in the amount of ‘good sense’ the organisation would have displayed in the absence of its favored few.

It is not an exaggeration to say that without your support, Colonel, while IR would have existed for sure, it is very likely we’d only have existed as outlaws.

Come now Scott, you know it was never personal in that way.

It is hardly out of the question that the GDF had concerns after your father’s… accident. You were a young man grieving his father, with the weight of an entire legacy on your shoulders - and without your father’s more considerable experience, may I add. The Thunderbirds in the wrong hands, even well meaning hands, could have been disastrous.

I cannot speak for all of command’s decisions when I was not in my rank, but there was no small part of concern for you that went into any discussion I was involved in. We have a duty to care and protect everybody on this planet, and that includes you.

Janus, however, is an entirely different matter.

zero-xlent

Where was Janus held again, Colonel? I’m still raring to have a word with that man…

#thundersocials #thunderbirds rp #chatfromthecolonel

Once again, I can’t divulge that information to you, Jeff. For all of the reasons we have discussed previously. But rest assured, the court martial was fair.

Good to see you Colonel!

It’s… a unique environment here. Takes a little getting used to, but as long as you don’t assume anyone has any automatic respect for anybody you’ll do just fine 🫠

thunderbird-shadow

Huh. Hello, Colonel. I don't think I was ever expecting to see you here.

Welcome onboard! Most people here are nice, but... tread carefully, that's all I'll say.

I can’t say I was expecting you on here either Kayo, given the nature of the place. But it’s good to see you. Thank you for the warning - I assume you are keeping an eye on things?

thunderbird-shadow

Doing my best, though it's been pretty hectic here recently. Mostly sorting paperwork for the GDF, in fact - you all really do love a good incident report.

This site does have its upsides too, to be fair; I've had some lovely conversations, and it's easy to stay connected. But every now and again someone slightly more...odd...slips through the cracks.

#thunderbirds rp #thundersocials #chatfromthecolonel

Somebody needs to dot the I’s and cross the T’s

And here I had hoped your work load would reduce with the Hood and the Chaos Crew in custody.

Dare I ask about the… oddities?
