![[In his lab Donnie snorts awake, taking a moment to gather his bearings before looking at the notifications on his screen]
[He jerks in surprise when he sees Venus on the security cameras under a ‘suspicious activity’ notification]
[He jumps up and frantically presses a button to alert his brothers to the intruder]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/03f54a6bae6b2d729cf9bc5162a5c5f4/be4785f5a2a8fbd8-81/s500x750/a1c5668dd6635e3f721ba612c72611e56d8f9340.png)
![[Donnie turns to leave, then hesitates while grabbing his Bo staff, grabbing the disc and sliding it into his shell before hurrying out]
[He makes it to the vestibule outside the lab quickly, entering from the hall and not noticing Venus pressed into the shadows behind him]
[Venus wordlessly slips away, retracing Donnie's steps back up through the lab door]
[The others emerge from their rooms groggily, and Donnie opens his mouth to explain the situation, only to stop, halted in his tracks by another ping on his gauntlet]
[He stares at the screen, face twisting up, the words ‘Motion Sensor: Lab Entry’ blinking up at him]
[He turns to look back the way he came, furious]
Leo approaches him first, stretching his arms above his head and feigning a yawn:
"Hey Donnie~ What’s with the alarm? You know I need my beauty rest-"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/429b174d79ade088219875247899c9a6/be4785f5a2a8fbd8-e9/s500x750/a155e2f218bc3522254f74fafd23f037721bb7e5.png)
![[Donnie turns quick to face them and shoots his hands out, gesturing toward the others in a modified version of ASL]
Donnie, signing annoyingly:
"Shut."
Leo huffs, but signs back to his brother:
"What’s up?"
Donnie, signing slightly panicked:
"Intruder"
[The turtles all look around, more alert than moments before]
Mikey, signing worriedly:
"How did they get in?"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d432f370129f4f81f270e79071430da8/be4785f5a2a8fbd8-a7/s500x750/15fe627e87d7e3be59c1cca20902a0b56c8c5407.png)
![[Donnie thinks for a second, an infographic appearing over his head]
[The infographic highlights his thought process as he considers how the intruder entered without triggering the initial alarms. After several ideas he concludes the intruder entered with Mikey's mask, thus, the intruder entered because of Mikey]
[Donnie looks towards his youngest brother, who’s staring at him with innocent wide eyes, arrows point towards the box turtle, the words “Mikey” written below them]
Donnie frowns, unable to tell his brother his conclusion, and simply signs:
"Not important."
Raph, nodding in agreement:
"What’s important is that we get them out."
FULL INFOGRAPHIC TRANSCRIPT:
[If intruder got in as a guest- then they used a key -> Keys: Code (impossible) Finger Print (Impossible) Retinal Scan (impossible) Personal Item (probable) -> Weapons (6/6 accounted for) Belts (4/4 accounted) Masks (3/4 Accounted for) —> One mask unaccounted (Mikey's)- Lost at Nexus —>Intruder sent from Nexus (Not Good!) -> Hypothesis: Intruder entered with Mikey's mask.]
[New panel of Mikey, staring up with wide eyes, arrows point at him with onomatopoeia around it (oh no, uh oh, don’t upset, protec) as the words ‘Conclusion: Mikey’ frame him]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4b01e99cf51c5f95900f82d0a14c88a8/be4785f5a2a8fbd8-8d/s500x750/89f020563fab9096c3103e8a54e63503e29fa3cd.png)
![Leo, grinning smugly, moving his hand with flair:
"Agreed-"
[He does multiple exaggerated hand movements that don’t serve any other purpose than to look cool]
[The three others stare at him, blinking in confusion, as Donnie signs out a baffled ‘Pardon?’]
Leo frowns, and dejectedly re-does his hand movements:
"F-e-i-n-t formation"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f0bbbf6556bbff8c19ee488b0e69b502/be4785f5a2a8fbd8-6c/s500x750/233cd072c978938e67e9823b087ef5887ebcd72b.png)

(chanting) ASL ASL ASL! >:D

Have been so excited to share this bit for so many reasons, so we hope you enjoy! And maybe spot some of the many easter eggs we snuck in >:)
Should have the next chunk ready for next Friday and Donnie is ready to throw hands, so get ready for some sweet sweet confrontation

![[Donnie kicks the door to the vault open as the others run towards him]
April, running to the vault:
"Is the artifact in there?"
Leo, scanning over the vaults contents:
"I don’t…- There!" [He snatches up a small artifact and puts it in his little fanny pack thing]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0fcf82a3c0f2beb06294aad09b4d1501/a88f274bc9239e11-e7/s500x750/3a37221a3c4d6d046116aea2a3a484a90fb8c4cf.png)
![[Leo and the others turn around to leave] "Let’s go, vamanos!"
[Big Mama’s shadow appears in the hallway as she approaches menacingly]
BM, from around the corner:
"Hm… What’s all this kerfuffle then?"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c15d9b2ecaf0bf932281a16bfed59ba0/a88f274bc9239e11-e3/s500x750/21f27fa97d5410fe893d7b4678a9e73dc38a633d.png)
![CJ, puts his hand on Leo's shoulder to pull him away:
"Sens- Leo, we gotta get out of here!"
[Big Mama towers above the team as they prepare for more of a fight.]
"Well, well, well if it isn’t-"
[Before she can finish her quip there’s loud rumbling coming from the ceiling, getting closer over the course of a few moments]
[Big Mama looks up in surprise just as the ceiling fucking crumbles, she is promptly squished under chunks of concrete and other building materials]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c0da5c6e1e030355b6b53a049c398c03/a88f274bc9239e11-fe/s500x750/d3a7dceb397b93371d25bd1b1f81b6fd82f9b3a7.png)
![[A large mystic Raph falls down with the rubble. He lands on top of the destruction and his mystics disband with a poof, leaving him sitting and looking at the room in surprise]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8b638f2956a7bd7b7c91611a571c9e8d/a88f274bc9239e11-6d/s500x750/c5f18295a4912bb9a23bcd225268ecc75fcb319e.png)

"Should we include Big Mama? She's pretty important to the plot" "But her dialogue is a nightmare to write" "Say no more, so here's the plan..."
Don't worry about the whole golden disk thing, it's not important

![[Mikey drops down from the ceiling with a yell, landing in Raph's arms]
Raph, looking up from his place on the pile of destruction to reveal his blind eye:
"Sorry we’re late, Mikey wanted to-"
[He looks down, realizing Mikey has vanished]
Mikey, already up and joining the others, flexing his fingers to show off sparks of mystic energy:
"I wanted to work on my portaling and- well- uh.."](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e54c66c85a7b61c25273005b3aff1fd0/f1cce6eded6bea8b-34/s500x750/086526aa48899949d4d174b8b36dbcdff0f9ba8f.png)
![[looks up at the hole in the ceiling]
"I hope we didn’t disturb that rooftop party."
Leo, putting his arm around Mikey's shoulders with a smile:
"Impeccable timing, little brother, very dramatic-" [lowers his voice] "We’ll work on your aim."
Mikey, smiling sheepishly:
"Sorry… I thought I could get us here more… Accurately."
Raph, joining the group:
"Okay, where’s the fight?"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5d12b3294c9f772c6d34faa253f4d6f2/f1cce6eded6bea8b-8c/s500x750/c0fd4d7511bd7a02bc26a02ca7b509a112dd5697.png)

Look who finally dropped in!
Just three pages this Friday but be prepared for next week, it'll be a big'un
For transcripts, click on alt text to read the image descriptions and dialogue
![[In Donnie’s lab, Venus is rifling through Donnie's desk suddenly stopping, alerted to the turtles presence by Donnie's ‘subtle cough’]
[She whirls around to see the turtles in the doorway, all in various fighting stances]
[Donnie jabs out his tech-bo like he’s going to attack, and Venus vaults across the table to meet him, only to be stopped as Donnie presses a button on his bo. Multiple onomatopoeias spring up as he does so ‘Secret Button’ ‘Wow’ and ‘Plot convenient’]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4b27cfef6ef63663c1f542b4f88ce4bb/6613d12804830bce-37/s500x750/df5922ea09db75159e30670fc95995e159666b58.png)
![[a net springs up from the surface beneath her, dragging her up and leaving her hanging from the ceiling, thrashing in the netted trap]
Donnie, looks rather smug as Venus struggles against the restraints:
"Brains over brawns you brutish barbarian- That is a genius built (™) G.L.A.M device- Crafted with some of the most durable materials a turtle can ‘borrow’ from the government- No point in trying to escape."
[Cut away from Venus so we just see Donnie sort-of info-dumping about his tech and security to his brothers, a huge wall of text behind him]
[The wall of text is as follows: "Luckily I fitted us all with bio-metric trackers, which gave my systems reason to alert me to this intruder, even if they got past the first security checkpoint and touched all my stuff -sigh- I’ll have to up our defenses… At least I got to test my G.L.A.M trap (Trademark genius-built technology) in action! G.L.A.M, my dear brothers, stands for ‘Grab, Lift, and Moderate’- My inspiration for this mechanism was lobster-rope/mid-century-modern. Todd reviewed the designs and I tested it on a control group of ethically sourced free-ranged dentists. But it just isn’t the same as getting to use it in a real fight- Oh, and wait until you hear about the materials I used to craft this! Truly some of my best work- Ya’ know, sometimes it’s not about how flashy something is, it’s about function and this is truly a functional piece of work, just imagine the capabilities this could have- on top of netting uninvited guests, of course. Once I have enough materials I could put one of these at every entrance-!"]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b4949f40ea74842b33a09f8b8acaafdf/6613d12804830bce-e4/s500x750/b0c0674862636216e853f2fde0998ecaa4db3e67.png)
![[Venus watches them as she settles down in her trap, using her sharp nails to saw away at the ropes behind her]
Leo, Voice over:
"How many trackers do you have on us? Seriously, Donnie-"
Donnie, not listening to Leo:
"-And the capabilities of the nylon-webbing I acquired from that abandoned military post are ingenious-"
[In the background Venus continues to use her bugles to slowly cut away at the ropes]
Raph, trying to get back to the task at hand:
"That’s concerning and we’re going to discuss this later, but Donnie-"
Venus cuts off the bickering:
"Enough- You have stolen something from Big Mama. She would like it back."
Leo, arching a brow in surprise as he sheathes his katanas behind him:
"Wow~ She speaks."
[Leo forgets he does not have his sheaths on, and his swords go clattering to the ground]
Venus:
"I demand the artifact. Give it to me and you will be allowed to continue wasting oxygen."](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c958bb7557d4df476ac232775548e1aa/6613d12804830bce-83/s500x750/66571a7a9f02a15513d96645ef90406109466659.png)
![Leo snickers:
"Shyeeaaah, okay, well, that’s not happening, unlike Big Mama we actually know how to lock up our mystic artifacts."
Mikey, cockily joining the conversation:
"Yeah! You’ll never find it!"
Donnie, agreeing and lying through his teeth:
"Yes! The disc was certainly not tucked away safely in one of our shells before this battle as to prevent it’s theft-"
[He fist pumps softly as Venus breaks free from her restraints behind him]
Donnie turns back to his brothers, unaware of Venus throwing herself towards him:
"Nailed it-"
[Within a moment Venus’ foot is inches from his face, ready to kick him firmly while his brothers watch in shock]
In the bottom corner is an arrow reading, 'to be continued..'](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bf19ec0f43b7ec7c5826a4d810b98306/6613d12804830bce-6d/s500x750/3e7497c3596bd209c47e383080ea13a0a5846516.png)

SHE'S ESCAPINGG (Leo may or may not have forgotten he's not wearing anything to hold his swords as he tries to put them away and it's definitely not the illustrator's fault for realizing halfway through inking)
