[Rustling and the distinct sounds of someone turning the comm over in their hands. When Splinter speaks, it's with a heavy Japanese accent.]

Ah… hello? Is this thing on? Is this…

[Beep beep boop, pressing buttons.]

Drat. Blasted device...

Master Splinter!!

[Hey is there an echo in here?]

[allmyturtles]

Raphael-!

[That makes three.]

Is everyone here, then?

[betterthanleo]

Yeah, we - we're all here. Me, and Don and Leo and Mikey, too. And April.

[Raph sounds unusually happy and maybe relieved. He's really, really happy to have Splinter here.]

[allmyturtles]

[Splinter detects that note of relief. What have you gotten yourself into, Raphael?]

That is good to hear. As a family there is little you cannot accomplish.

[betterthanleo]

[Raphael hesitates. He's already thinking about what Leo said earlier.

No, just... ignore that.]

Sensei, um... are you safe?

[allmyturtles]

I do not sense any immediate danger.

[He hears that hesitation, too. Oh, Raphael. Are you and Leonardo at odds again?]

The number of the room is 7289.

[He doesn't answer, instead spending his time hurrying over]
