Hai! SO I may have binged a good amount of your fics and since I have DO2 brainrot I was curious what Foxtrot thinks of DO2 given what he is and who he's related to~ Also, I hope you do more with him in the future because he's interesting to me :D
Foxtrot isn't really sure what the fuss is about with all the rumors about the Dungeon being alive.
Obviously it's alive. It's just Tango. 
Or, well, more accurately, Tango can be the Dungeon. Both Foxtrot and his brother are intimately aware of their ability to interface with certain redstone creations; Tango designed Decked Out 2 with that ability in mind. Whenever someone is running through the dungeon, it's Tango speaking to them, dropping items nearby, and setting off hazards.
Or sometimes the Dungeon is Foxtrot. He was rebuilt on Tango's blueprints, so they switch off sometimes, to give Tango the chance to do in-person things or just rest his circuits occasionally, or just for fun. It's a unique and fascinating experience, plugging himself into the redstone underbelly and suddenly becoming vast and blind and all-seeing, learning to focus his vision down into one or two cameras at a time, but leaving the rest of his perception open, hearing the shuffle of ravagers and wardens and hermits, feeling what the sculk sensors feel but also knowing all the traps and secrets through the inputs of their own.
Sometimes his brother is in the dungeon while Foxtrot is operating it. Some gimmick for the other hermits called the "dungeon lackey". Out of fairness to the hermit he accompanies, Foxtrot blocks some of the sculk signals that Tango sets off. 
He doesn't control the ravagers though. Neither of them do. And when Tango inevitably finds himself face to face with one, when it's him or the other hermit, and his redstone heart gets stabbed through and he respawns beneath the dungeon or wherever else he might be... well, the Dungeon - his brother - might be laughing at him.
(To continue answering the original question, when Tango was still building the game and there was radio silence for weeks at a time, no hermit was more worried for his safety than Foxtrot, who knew how damaging snow and ice could be. But after the first or second time they found Tango working merrily along underground, or out in the snow but kept safe by gloves and his hooded robe, they left him to it, after a stern request to reply to their messages next time.)
