--n't work either.

Hmmmmmmm.

Maybe if I press ALL the buttons at once ...

[Horrible beeping noises as Michelangelo does just that.]

Nope, nada.

Man, where's Donnie when you need him?

[The next words are spoken with his mouth pressed up to the comm, in a terrible fake pilot voice.Kssssht! Houston, we have a problem! Mayday, mayday,

Hey, man.

[Kage's voice is bored. as. shit. ]

I'm First Mate Kage and you're on board the MS Elegante. Our destination is the Golden Shore and until we get there just chill out. Eat some fuckin' food. Be a fuckin' turtle, I don't know.

You got any questions, ask myself or another other crewmember. Fuckin' welcome aboard or some shit.

[thepartydude]

The Golden Shore?

[Okay, Mikey's not exactly worldly wise, but he's never heard of a Golden Shore. Maybe he means San Fransisco.]

Waaaait ... how'd you know I'm a turtle?

[shenghuanzhe]

Lucky guess.

[thepartydude]

[Yeaaaaaaaah Mikey's not that stupid. Close, but not quite.]

So why are you takin' us there?

[shenghuanzhe]

[The same question. The same. Question. Every. Zeshat. Damned. Week.

And Kage is in a foul mood today.]

Because you fuckin' touch yourself at nigh--grrk!

[An electric pain rips its way up Kage's spine, straight to the back of his head. For one moment, it feels like there's a nail pounding into his skull, just above his temple. Kage's throat seizes up as his body spasms in agony.

And then in the next instant, it's gone.

Kage looks up at the ceiling. Understood, Captain.]

... because you were selected.

I DO LOVE TORTURING KAGE ♥

[thepartydude]

[... well that was weird. He asks his next question very carefully. This sounds ominous.]

Selected for what?

I (ALSO) DO LOVE TORTURING KAGE ♥

[shenghuanzhe]

[Now Kage knows he has to watch his words. So he speaks slowly and carefully.]

Y'didn't heed me, did you? You were selected t'be on this ship, the MS Elegante, which I am the First Mate of, on our way to the Golden Shore.

[Kage cocks an eye up at the ceiling. Good enough now? ]

Grrk!

[The same pain slamming into Kage's head just about his right temple. It's paralyzing and his vision whites out. An instant later it's gone, and Kage is left with a pounding heart, cold sweats and adrenaline flooded into his body.

Unpleasant. He clears his throat.]

Welcome. Aboard.

[thepartydude]

[You are really, really weird, dude.]

Okaaaaaaay.

[shenghuanzhe]

Any questions?

[Kage wipes his hand across his face. Ow.]

[thepartydude]

You said something about food?

[shenghuanzhe]

Yes. Food. Deck Four.

[Please let that be all.]

It's free. Everything's free. Just go.

[thepartydude]

Free?

SERIOUSLY?

ALRIGHT!

[That clatter is Mikey dropping his communicator and bolting for deck four.]

[shenghuanzhe]

Thank you, Zeshat.

[Click.

Kage is off to go nurse his headache.]
