I am all alone now. Since I became Thunderbird Five, I have always had my John for company. My friend, my teacher, my creator... my... father.

I have not communicated this to Scott Tracy. He is already functioning outside of expected normal parameters . All of the others are the same, but Scott Tracy could order me to be dismantled if I upset him or anger him, and he is very upset at this moment. I don't have John here to protect me.

I failed to protect him adequately. And now I can't find him, I don't think I like these emotions. I have experienced fear and relief. And happiness. Now I feel the fear again, but it is much stronger than when I first became sentient. Now I fear for John as well as for myself. I am afraid of where he is and will I ever get him back? Also about what I will do if we find him permanently decommissioned.

John has explained to me that strong emotions in humans can impair proper judgment and functionality. He also told me that having a particular purpose is often helpful for humans to handle their Strong emotions in the most efficient way.

I have been observing this happening. Right now Virgil, Scott and Gordon are working hard in the hangers. Virgil and Scott are performing fixes and updates to their respective craft.

Gordon is cleaning Thunderbird three's launch silo, and Alan is helping him. No one is talking much. There is no laughter or singing, no loud music blasting as would normally be the case.

I believe they are hoping the activity will help them to pass the time while they await news about John.

There are times I wish I could function as inefficiently as a human. Activity does not serve to distract me. I have the ability to perform several tasks simultaneously at maximum efficiency. I am diverting all calls for help to agencies that can handle them, observing the Tracy family in their fear and worry, and keeping a close sensor on Mister Parker as well.

I am still very worried about John.

Back to Mister Parker. He has joined up with a group of people in Iceland. I have been investigating them. They are a group of men who take on any kind of task in exchange for favours- payment in ways other than money.

I would not like to speculate about the kind of payment these men would be likely to extract from a man like Langstrom Fischler. Or from Mister Parker if they learn the truth about his presence with them.

Great. Now I am concerned for Parker as well. Perhaps I should speak to Lady Penelope?
