Jeff Tracy couldn't be happier, he had a beautiful wife and 5 healthy growing sons. After almost losing his wife to an avalanche a few years ago, he decided to start a rescue service so that no-one would have to go through what he almost lost. At first, he was reluctant to let his sons be the operators, but when he asked them, there was no hesitation with their answers. they had all almost lost their mother and didn't want any other families to suffer. so after many years of finding the perfect base, the boys having their education and finding the perfect engineer to build the machines, international rescue was ready. he had crafted 5 machines to help with their rescues and assigned each son to be in charge of each one.
Thunderbird one was going to be the fastest and went to his eldest son, Scott who had the most experience flying due to his time at the airforce.
Thunderbird 2 was going to his 3rd eldest Virgil who was the strongest out of his brothers.
Thunderbird 3 was going to his youngest alan, who wanted to be an astronaut when he was older.
Thunderbird 4 was going to his 2nd youngest Gordon, the fish in the family who had the most experience in submarines then all of them combined due to his time at W.A.S.P
and Thunderbird 5 was going to his second-oldest Jhon, who always had a fascination with space and had stayed on a space station before. although thunderbird 5 was going to be operated by all his sons due to it being in space so that jhon could spend time with his family.
Although planning was delayed due to Gordon having his hydrofoil accident a few years back, now he was perfectly healthy except for the occasional back problems. Sonn international rescue was ready, and thanks to their family friend Lady penelope crightion-ward who was going to be their spy and kryano and his daughter tin-tin to help with base and their enginier 'brains' they were ready for whatever the world throws at them.
