[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!

[allmyturtles]

[alskdjflkds]

Ah--! Michelangelo. Where...?

[thepartydude]

[Oh god he's so happy right now.]

We're like, on a boat!

[allmyturtles]

That explains the salt water.

[He would ask if everyone's all right and how they got here, but the first is a Leo question and the second probably a Donatello question.]

It is good to hear you, my son. We are all on this boat?

[Voice]

[betterthanraph]

Master Splinter-!

[Voice]

[allmyturtles]

Leonardo. You are here also?

What is this place.

[Voice]

[betterthanraph]

I- [Oh God Father is here things are going to be great but this is such a dangerous place WHAT IF THE CAPTAIN HURTS MY DAD-

Okay shut up, Leo brain. Calm. Serenity.] There is much to explain, Sensei. Where are you?

[Voice]

[allmyturtles]

Ah - hm. I am not certain yet, but...

[This is him seeing if the door opens - hey, it does! - aaand...]

The number on the door appears to be 7289.

[betterthanleo]

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.

[iwitnessdamsel]

I'm going to take a wild guess;

You're Master Splinter.

This is April! Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

[allmyturtles]

Ah - yes. How odd that we should all be here.

[iwitnessdamsel]

The captain works in mysterious ways.

[Oh god, the sarcasm.]

But the boys must be flipping their lids to have you here. They've...well, they've been here for a while.

Forget it, I'll let them explain it.

[allmyturtles]

The Captain? Is he... responsible for the sudden relocation from our home?

[Woah wait what]

It cannot have been too long. The battle at Winters' stronghold was barely a day ago, to my recollection.

[Unless he's been unconscious, and he doesn't feel dehydrated, so that can't have been for long.]

[thenotmagician]

Yo.

[allmyturtles]

Ah... hello?

[thenotmagician]

Welcome t'the boat o' insanity. Trip that never ends.

I'm Zeke.

[allmyturtles]

That is an... unusual introduction.

My students refer to me as Master Splinter.
