I Told You to Stay Away.

A Thunderbirds Are Go rp blog dedicated to season 2 villain The Mechanic

[iam-themechanic]

Against my better judgement, I have been persuaded to join this website.

I am The Mechanic. I am an engineer. My portfolio includes technologies that have the power to devastate all in its path.

Let this be known. My capabilities far exceed yours. Don't think for a moment that you have the power to stop me. I can do what I want, whenever I want to.

Do not make me your enemy.

(A little rp blog for Thunderbirds Are Go character The Mechanic! 🔥🔧 Writing and reponses will reflect season 2-3 timelines, so feel free to interact with The Hood's greatest engineer... or the man who fights for his freedom! Lovingly run by @cookidoughlilac 💙)

[zero-xlent]

Can't you amd chris both wear white? And bith be beautiful brides?

We could... but don't you see the vision?

[spectrum-id-col-white]

…

That’s it! I’m off to go drive my head through a brick wall.

@scramjettracy you and your brothers are welcome to join me at your earliest convenience.

Of all the things to make me regret having functional eyes…

[space-man-anderson]

Hey

Think we should stick Jeff back in the oort cloud

Or he's gone space insane

[spectrum-id-col-white]

Absolutely not, young man, he’s staying on this planet whether he likes it or not.

I cannot, however, account for his mental state. I’m afraid we can only hope it’s just his sense of humour that has taken an interesting turn.

[iam-themechanic]

Mentally stable or not, could you please revoke his photoshop privileges.

[spectrum-id-col-white]

With pleasure.

[zero-xlent]

Don't you dare, Charles.

[spectrum-id-col-white]

:)

[iam-themechanic]

Thank you, Colonel. He has far too much time on his hands sometimes.

[spectrum-id-col-white]

All in a day’s work, Mechanic. You should have seen what he was like in his younger years.

[iam-themechanic]

Dare I ask?

[zero-xlent]

GREETINGS COLONEL CASEY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.

[gdf-colonel-casey]

… the Mysterons?!

I… thank you very much. I think.

[themysteronsrp]

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

[gdf-colonel-casey]

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

[themysteronsrp]

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

AND THE ONLY ONE WE SHALL CONTINUE TO DO.

[gdf-colonel-casey]

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

[themysteronsrp]

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?

[gdf-colonel-casey]

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?

[conrad-turner-cpt-black]

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.

[gdf-colonel-casey]

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.

[iam-themechanic]

Yes. That Gordon. He keeps hiding them in labs and got one under my bed.

It's a relief that the workshop chairs are decent for sleeping in.

[squidsinashirt]

Sorry, am I actually reading this right? You’ve gone crying to the GDF about *checks notes* a Furby under your bed?

[iam-themechanic]

I am not crying, I am informing. There is a difference.

[squidsinashirt]

Some of us had their sub ripped in half, their home invaded and their father propositioned and still haven’t gone snitching 👀

[iam-themechanic]

Your father propositioned me, not the other way around.

I still can't quite remember how I managed to get onto the island after the HEX, so you could call that an invasion, that's fair... hacking your systems multiple times was rather easy though.

As for the ripping incident, The Hood did influence that. However, it did give Brains new data on how your ships handled stress breaks. It won't happen again... although we have simulated it quite a few times for safety purposes.

[iam-themechanic]

I was similarly pursuaded to join, a while back. I think the original reason was to have some form of access to the outside world... which I often regret, given what I've seen on here.

Welcome, Colonel.

[brains-ir]

Kayo has dragged me out of my lab for one of her mandatory self defense lessons. Someone please save me...

I'm exhausted and she looks like she hasn't even broken a sweat.

[iam-themechanic]

She has a point, you know? Prison doesn't exactly stop The Hood from doing what he wants... I would know.

[brains-ir]

I know. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Even if my muscles will be complaining for the rest of the week.

[iam-themechanic]

A good routine will do that to you.

I find that exercising during work gets the creative flow going. Works wonders when I'm trying to figure something out.

[gdf-ridley-obannon]

Is this real???

[zero-xlent]

Of course! He did an excellent job with it, wouldn’t you say?

The craftsmanship is impeccable 😌

[gdf-ridley-obannon]

He did an excellent job with... 😶

Um, sure, yes! The craftsmanship is great... very, uh, round. Delicate, too. It looks lovely.

...

International Rescue, what is going on right now-

[scramjettracy]

…

…

…

This section of it is going to go and sit on a hill and look at pictures of his Mom.

[zero-xlent]

Oh! I can find you the album from Lucy and I’s wedding if you want, Son. We kept a physical copy somewhere, retro I know. She was stunning.

Honestly, she’d be so happy with what Chris has been able to do with this ring, and here I was thinking it’d be damaged forever!

[scramjettracy]

I… I’d really love to see that Dad, thank you.

Wait it’s… that’s… your original one?

I mean of course it is! Wow! Yes great job he’s done there, am so glad!

[iam-themechanic]

I have the physical album. I was using it as part of the repair process to check it looked as it did originally. You're welcome to come by the workshop and pick it up.

[squidsinashirt]

I don’t think anyone gave you permission to touch that.

[iam-themechanic]

I mean, your dad did. For the purposes of restoring his wedding ring

[zero-xlent]

You're welcome. It's nice to see that it has brought a smile to your face.

It’s time for another ThunderPoll 🤭🥰

Thank you to our community for the continued suggests — please keep the submissions coming!

Who would accidentally confess while injured/delirious?

Scott

Virgil

John

Gordon

Voting ended onApr 1

[scramjettracy]

Statistically Gordon is the most likely to be injured / delirious, of course.

What is he confessing to? I fear there could be a range of offences…

Then again, he does talk a lot of nonsense when injured / delirious so nothing he said in that state would be admissible in any respectable jurisdiction so we’re probably ok.

[iam-themechanic]

He could start by confessing to placing a furby under my bed last night.

[themysteronsrp]

@iam-themechanic WHAT BECAME OF THIS FURBY? WE ARE STILL TRACKING THE COSMIC HORROR'S MINION; OUR EFFORTS HAVE BEEN OBSTRUCTED BY THE NUMBER OF FURBIES ON TRACY ISLAND.

[iam-themechanic]

I strategically vacated the room after I heard its dreaded voice under the pillow area. I have not been back since.
