[Penny's leaning back in a cafe chair, feet up on what's presumably another chair as he clicks on the video. He's casually smoking a cigarette. Chilling. He sighs, as if this is such a chore.]
I told some little teenage mutant nerd turtle I would pass on a message, so here it is: If you're a foreigner, and you adopted a turtle.. or you birthed a hatchling, or..? It wasn't very clear. Whatever. If you were some kind of parental turtle figure, Quintet- Quantum? said they're all doing fine and not to worry.
Even though they're basically playing on their mom's grave, which is a little weird to me, but maybe turtles dig that, I don't know.
I'm sure you'll have some dumb questions I can't answer, but go ahead.
[He takes another drag on his smoke and posts the video.]

[This gets Raine's attention immediately, where she usually only pays the network a cursory glance to be sure there are no emergencies.]
You spoke to one of the hatchlings. That was all there was to say?

There's nothing more you can say?
[The turtle that spoke to Penny wasn't Ryder, she knows. Still-- on the list of people who have gone, who she misses--]
[At least Ryder's still in this world.]
Their mother's grave... hm.

Sin-in-glee? I forget the name of the place.

Hm.
I see. There were no more specifics from them, then? Only the contact from the one hatchling...
[She trails off. He's already established that. After a moment Raine shakes her head.]
My apologies. One of the hatchlings is my own. It's... been some time since we heard from them.

Nevertheless, thank you for relaying the message.
