THE THUNDERBIRDS LEXICON
by Kristin D. |
O Ocean Pioneer I & II: Oceangoing tanker ships,OP I explodes in the Mediterrainean Sea under then-unxplained causes. Upon further investigation, the cause was the violent reaction of the ship's cargo, liquid alsterene & the presence of OD-60, which was growing in the Mediterrainean. Ocean Pioneer II, which carried the same cargo takes the same route as its predecessor and runs into the same predicament. However the crew was rescued shortly before the ship explodes. (Danger At Ocean Deep). OD-60: An edible aquatic fungus, Its used primarily used as a main ingredient in pet foods. However, OD-60 in close proximity with liquid alsterene causes an explosive reaction. The massive amounts of the fungus growing in the Mediterrainean Sea was the cause of the destruction of two ocean tankers carrying the highly combustible alsterene. (Danger At Ocean Deep). Olsen: Murderous Manager/Arranger for the Cass Carnaby Five during their tour at Paradise Peaks. Olsen was using the group's hit song "Dangerous Game" to sabotage RTL 2 Transport flights. He used a Cham Cham to send and decipher messages to an enemy fleet of fighter planes. After being thwarted by Penelope's intervention, Olsen sabotages the cable gondola carrying Penelope, Parker & Tin Tin, Cass tries to stop him, but was too late. Thunderbird 2 comes to the rescue of the free-falling gondola. (The Cham-Cham). Operation Cover-up: Security protection procedure used on Tracy Island. Just prior to the arrival of non-IR affiliated visitors to the island, Operation Cover-up swings into action. The video screens which connect the island's base with each Thunderbird craft normally shows a portrait of its pilot in IR uniform. But the push of a button replaces the portraits with innocuous family snapshots. Orchard, Dr.: Scientist at Ambro River laboratory, who with the assistance of Hector McGill, developed the growth compound Theramine. (Attack Of The Alligators!). O' Shea, Dick: Technical Engineer aboard the Seascape Drilling Rig. He and Frank Hooper become trapped in a diving sphere at the bottom on the Atlantic beneath the doomed rig before being rescued. (Atlantic Inferno). O' Shea, Rick "Ric-O-Chet": Popular music DJ, he and Lohman ran the pirate station KLA. O' Shea, was first thought yo have been killed when the broadcast satellite crashed to the ground. But, prior to his rescue, he backed into a switch which started a taped broadcast. Now back on Earth, "Ric-O-Chet" is still spinning the hits. Tin Tin thinks he's "minty", much to the chagrin of Alan! (Ricohet). Oxyhydnite:Gas, when used in a cutting torch can penetrate a steel wall 3 times faster than a laser beam. But it can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream causing unconsciousness but leaving no after-effects. However, the use of electrically-heated cylinders makes this gas safer to use. |
