Title: A Summary of Events Rating: PG13 I think, since it involves depression and murder and swearing and many unpleasant real-world scenarios, many of which are happening right now in fact Fandom: Thunderbirds/Thunderbirds Are Go
Summary: This is best described as ‘a look at how IR might function in the real world’ except obviously it’s not quite the real world because it’s several decades in the future and also after a war. I also hope it’s not Dark And Gritty, but rather Pointed And Vaguely Satirical.
Features a bit of fourth-wall breaking, which starts…..now.

THIS IS FINALLY DONE! It also has a proper title now, which I will edit into the previousparts.
Contains what is hopefully some mild satire as well as some fourth-wall breaking. Is an attempt at putting the whole concept of Thunderbirds into a ‘real’ future world, but hopefully isn’t Dark and Gritty with it.
Will also be on AO3, with some slight edits, later.now
Thank you v much! :3 Here is the BA that is Kayo Kyrano. She is the only resident of Tracy Island that Gordon is afraid of. Hmmm Afraid is too strong a word, how about – Gordon would never dream of pranking her.
ol’ hoody says its been a long time since they last saw each other. probably not since she was a little girl and he was still ‘uncle’ to her. he knows she’s part of IR. i just. i really want to know more about the breakdown of their family. the theme of family is meant to be so important to this series, i gotta have more. there’s all this goddamn potential!
also i love how they circle each other. he’s trying to be all confident, but his hands are behind his back ‘cause he’s shady. kayo’s got her fists up ready for a fight, making her intentions clear and her intention is K-O!
You notice how she’s quite literally got a halo in that first shot, too?
In “The Ring of Fire” P2(?), when the Tracy brothers are discussing about The Hood Kayo is the only one looking down and away from everyone else, possibly ashamed that she’s related to a evil guy (and probably thinking about the worse case scenario if the brothers ever do find out)
I know it’s obvious, but the detail they put into this show like???? omg???
‘children of the global conflict’ or ‘people without names’
she rejects ‘tanusha’, the scared little girl, and all of her ties to her uncle. her name is kayo, K.O., knock-out. she leaves behind her old voice, loses the accent on purpose. she is her own person, now. she can save the world.
he clings to ‘brains’, the only name that means anything anymore. sticks solidly to the accent of his hometown, no matter how long its been since he’s been there. and aliases are often empty, but at least this one reminds him that he still has something to give.
Scott found out about Kayo being the Hood’s niece and got angry, but about the fact she thought they would reject her instead of actually because her uncle is the Hood.
tracy brothers are born in and around the global conflict? probably so would brains & kayo… what a world to come into, maybe that’s why virgil’s so adamant ‘its 2060 that’s not the kind of world we live in anymore’
‘organisation mothballed the stealth mines in 2043′ so maybe at least 3 years of stuff going on – mothballed though that means kept in case needed to be used again so possibly with the expectation that conflict was still going to continue
i think i remember someone saying that the hood vs jeff – might have been big players in all this. something about an energy crisis, given the way the show makes a point about sustainable ways of providing energy?
if that was the case, you wouldn’t blame kayo for being terrified of coming clean – my uncle destroyed the world, and he took your father from you. what if she had loved him? what if he had really been family, before everything? i know that’s difficult to work in though, if she’s so young, she probably wouldn’t have even known a kinder version of the hood, given the timings of everything. oh! how bothersome. if only it had been the global conflict of 2050. well. i was going to write something based on that…perhaps i’ll do it anyway.
Please do
I love seeing people’s interpretations of 2040
You know, that is sort of the vibe I’m getting too. That Jeff was not only an active participant in the global conflict, but that he was instrumental in some big way of changing something in it – and that the Hood was involved. I have to wonder – were they actually fighting together as a team and then the Hood – or Jeff – did something that put them on opposite sides. The Hood’s hatred for the Tracys is too personal to be just wanting technology, and yet he seems content not to come after them personally – except for Jeff.
So there are definitely wheels within wheels. And I also think that Grandma, Colonel Case and Lady Penelope know a hell of a lot more than they are letting on.
Obviously Jeff’s father was not a simple Kansas wheat farmer (as in the original series) judging from what Grandma was saying in “Unplugged” and it seems that the Tracys seem to have made a habit of rescuing people.
Maybe IR has been a family dream for a couple of generations.
So may questions to be answered – and so much inspiration.
We already know that Parker fought in the war and if the war is what split Kayo and the Hood apart it means that it was at least Malaysia vs UK and USA
india now, kayo’s indian
I’m sure she’s Malaysian again.
she was malaysian but she is indian now, ethnically at least, same as brains
Do you have a source? I know film Tin Tin is of Indian Descent, but TaG Tin Tin, still sure she’s Malaysian
i know i read it on that review site, the one which crops up a lot as it posts a lot of interviews and preview pics, can’t remember wtf it’s called tho
Well if you find it let me know cause I honestly can’t find anything saying she’s Indian, just Malaysian. Though the name Tanusha is an Indian name. Perhaps she’s mixed. Her dad being Malaysian but her mum Indian, kind of explains her complexion compared to brains…
I like that idea.
(As as side note, Malaysia’s official religion is Islam, so I kinda like to think she’s Muslim too.)
