[The feed treats viewers to a full-screen shot of a mutant turtle's face, bedecked in a red bandanna facemask, a beaten-up hat with the words 'Turtle Island' inscribed on it, and a patch stretched over his left eye. The turtle doesn't look happy.]

Alright, so, name's Raphael. Obviously, I'm here to help out in this 'war' going on. Sure, yeah, I'm doing it to get home, but what I've heard also means it's the right thing to do. Wouldn't be the first time I helped out in savin' the world, probably won't be the last.

[He looks off to the side for a moment, then takes a deep breath.]

I s'pose there's no other mutants here, especially not other mutant turtles, judgin' by the way people've looked at me. Don't know if that's good or bad, but I guess it means my brothers aren't here, so I won't bother wastin' anyone's time by asking about 'em.

That's... that's all I've got in the way of introductions, really. I guess you all can ask me questions if you want. Maybe you'll even get answers. [He lets a smirk slip out.] No promises, though.

[Still not the strangest thing he's seen in his life. In fact, he probably wishes there were more alien frogs around.]

Tell me about it. There were only four where I came from. Five, if you count Slash, but he was an alien.

Wait, what's a 'Pekoponian'?

[actually there are. There are a grandtotal of two alien frogs in Death City right now.]

Aliens don't count. [Aliens =/= mutants.]

Pekoponians are those who live on the planet Pekopon, the planet humans call Earth.

Trust me, he counts enough.

Huh... figures that aliens would have a different name for it. Expectin' everyone to call it the same thing's kinda presumptuous.

...was he a mutant alien? [He's never heard of anything like that...but he supposed it was possible.]

As far as I know, Pekoponians are the only ones who call it Earth.

No, but he was one of us.

Well, as far as I know, this is the first time I've heard it called anything other than Earth.

Well, besides Gaia or Terra, but you get the gist.

So he was your comrade.

I've never heard it referred to Gaia or Terra. Maybe we come from alternate universes.
