Sad News, David Graham has died, voiced Parker, Brains and Gordon Tracy in Thunderbirds and voiced Parker again in Thunderbirds are Go.
Sadly that's everyone from the original Thunderbirds show has gone now.
RIP David Graham
Commander Tower: You're a loose cannon, Shadow.
Shadow: No. Omega is a loose cannon.
Omega: *destruction noises*
Stinger: You two characters are going to TOP GUN.
Mav and Goose:
Mav: Would you punch your best friend in the face for $100?
Ice: I would punch you in the face for free.
Mav: *tearing up* I'm your best friend..?
I had a whole explanation written up about this and then it all got lost when I moved my hard drives into a new computer setup. ;a; Basically this came about from a lot of Star Trek and many chats with @lenle-g about the Thunderbirds Star Trek AU she was involved in ages ago. And, of course, how EOS would fit in.
In short, it boils down to her being an orphaned Betazoid child who stows away on the Thunderbird after they show up to investigate what happened to the ship she was on. After she’s found (and tries to stab J'onn out of fear), she ends up being taken in by J'onn as the only crewman who could help in part with her uncontrolled telepathic abilities. And, while she was only supposed to be on the ship temporarily… she bonds well enough with her half-vulcan caretaker that he ends up adopting her instead.

The event Goose is referring to, when he tells Maverick he must have carnal knowledge "of a lady this time" was the night before they were deployed on the Enterprise.
Maverick had been boasting about being able to pick up a date anywhere so, when they walked into the bar to find it apparently full of exclusively men (and mostly navy men at that), Goose bet Maverick $20 that he wouldn't be able to find some to go home with that night.
What Goose had apparently underestimated, was just how persistent Mav could be when presented with a challenge. Totally unphased, he struck up a conversation with a taller man sitting at the bar. Mav steadily, not so subtly, began flirting with him and he good-natured flirted back, until Maverick began to proposition him for real.
That was about the point when Goose realised that his dumbass of a pilot was actually serious, and pulled him away, marching him back home before he could get any of them into trouble.
The next morning, they were greeted with something of a surprise... Boarding the Enterprise, they were introduced to other members of their squadron and, typically of Pete Mitchell's propensity for shenanigans, there was the man from last night.
Goose felt about ready to expire with embarrassment on Mav's behalf. Pete just groaned, letting his head fall into his hand. The stranger, however, thought it was hilarious and just burst out laughing. He introduced himself as Cougar, and the man beside him (his RIO) as Merlin.
"Goose. Maverick." Nick responded, giving his pilot a long-suffering look.
Pete just groaned, again. Cougar laughed. "Well, I'm sorry to have to break your heart then, Maverick," He teased, "But, I'm married."
Mav opened his mouth and then shut it again. "You're- You- Why- Why the hell were you flirting with me, then?" He managed to get out, semi-outraged.
Cougar shrugged and nodded at Goose. "I heard your friend here make you a bet. Figured it wouldn't hurt to humour you a little, help a brother out y'know."
A grin began to spread it's way across Maverick's face. He threw an arm round his new acquaintance. "You know, Cougar, I think you and I are going to be very good friends."
Cougar laughed. "Count on it."
That's it.
I'm reblogging all your EOS stuff from now on.
I realized I needed to sit down and make an official character reference for EOS. Well, facially at least. Partly for my own reference, partly for anyone else who might be interested in drawing her. So, a bunch of different expressions and some notes (in my very tiny scribbly handwriting).
The little pout at the bottom was based off Alan, btw. She’s picking up bad habits from him. And the “Lost Connection to Server” (Middle left) is part of a little story idea I was working with. (And based off one of my favorite EDI moments from Mass Effect 3).
Ugh, I adore them. 🥰

Lady Penelope: I don't think that will be necessary.
