I’m not sleeping in that

@s-hell-d-o-n

Hmm? Whatever do you mean my dear Shelldon

[genius-built-donatello]

[Don’s still working at his desk, laser-focused on the circuit board he’s working on. He only looks up when Shelldon calls out, switching one of the monitor screens out for the door camera.]

[They sigh when they see him, checking the time. He groans, rubs his temples, then moves the circuit board aside and opens the door from the desk.]

Shelldon. Hi.

[Shelldon hovers outside the lab door, glaring at the access panel that’s now completely useless, because the only way to get into the lab now is to wait for Don to look up from his stupid other projects for a second to check the cameras and actually approve the door opening. It’s so stupid there was nothing wrong with the original system-]

[…Except for the fact that Shelldon technically stole from him. Maybe that’s why. Ugh.]

[He knows he’s in range of the cameras. He waves a rotor to hopefully catch Don’s attention.] Dude! Open up!

[davids-cartoon-corkboard]

Hidden Threat?

I think S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. will become more than the goofy robot sidekick who malfunctions from time to time.

Note the vivisection imagery in “Smart Lair”, his debut episode.

And his codename in “Mind Meld” was “Cyber Bishop”.

Remind you of anyone?

I don’t know if S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. would be persuaded or hacked to join Agent Bishop’s side, or if he would become Bishop in some way, but pairing such a dire threat with Greg Cipes’ goofy surfer dude voice would be delightful.

[genius-built-donatello]

Heyyyyyy uhhh Nova like escaped I think Well not I think I mean I know

@s-hell-d-o-n

I NOTICED.

Where are you are you fine?

[genius-built-donatello]

[Don, as it turns out, was not very lucky. Or very good at keeping their word.]

[He can barely see past the ache behind his eyes and the bombardment of sensory input that was everyone around him, and by Newton everything hurt. But he’s at least in a decent enough mental state to be annoyed by the flash of alerts in his goggles. At least they’d gotten his goggles, and his battleshell, and his tech bō his sweet baby- Bishop being in possession of them for any longer would spell more than moderate danger.]

[He nearly falls flat on his face as soon as they land on the ground some distance away from the base, and Shelldon tries to shove himself under Don’s good arm to carry his weight, but Don pushes him aside as he reorients himself, opting instead to check over his tech. Everything but the goggles had been shut down the second they left in case Bishop planted a virus - a low possibility, it was a deadzone, which was honestly the most annoying part of the whole thing - and would need to be scanned the second he got to his lab.]

[But for now, he has to deal with this, referring to the frankly insane group of rescuers. And Shelldon won’t stop clinging to him. Again.]

[genius-built-donatello]

I- [He’s just frowning. Seeing something so obviously not his own work on his own work feels like an insult. It is an insult-]

[It’s- Not like it’s bad, necessarily, though obviously far inferior to his, as anyone’s would be, of course, unquestionably- It’s just rude.]

I don’t understand??? Yarrow did this? And you let her? Why??? I said I would fix it! I was here in like- ten minutes- My circuitry-

[He steps back from Yarrow a bit. He had finished dressing all of her injuries. He was a little proud of himself :3.]

How do you feel now?

@genius-built-donatello @s-hell-d-o-n @yarrow-remains

[genius-built-donatello]

I can check on the water and the satellite? Take some off your hands? :P

@s-hell-d-o-n

Uhhhh no, no, it’s fine, I’ve got it.

[genius-built-donatello]

Hey dude! Door’s locked, can I come in?

@s-hell-d-o-n

Ah-

Oh. Shelldon. Don’t come in, I’m- busy. Likely will be for the rest of the night.

I won’t have time to repair you till tomorrow, either. Are you otherwise fine?

[genius-built-donatello]

Bruh get away from your desk

Two dozen screens directly in your face are not going to help your headache

@s-hell-d-o-n

Ughhhhhhh can’t even work in my own lab without someone complaining…

Wait Shelldon while you’re here. Could you fetch Yarrow for me. She needs to help me with something.

[genius-built-donatello]

Thank you, Shelldon. You can go recharge, you did well keeping everyone alive. I’ll wake you up in the morning.

[Darner and Donnie soon arrive at the base, having flown back in an awkward silence. Darner lands at the entrance and crosses her arms, not looking at Don.]

@genius-built-donatello

[genius-built-donatello]

Ummm. What's all this for?

@s-hell-d-o-n

Oh! Shelldon! Maybe you can help I need to convince Leo to get in here but to do that we need Darner to leave him alone (and Raph as well Galileo my life is difficult) and they trust you more than they trust me so perhaps you could speak to them

[genius-built-donatello]

I mean I could fix the coffee machine? You probably have the blueprints saved somewhere here right

@s-hell-d-o-n

No no Don’t touch it it’s fine

I’ll get it later Shelldon you have other stuff to do please

[genius-built-donatello]

Everything is A-okay with the emergency protocols and supplies and stuff o7 Just finished checking them

@s-hell-d-o-n

Thank youuu, Shelldon, you’re making my job a lot easier

[genius-built-donatello]

"Gotcha. We'll be waiting for you." He didn't close the line, instead engaging in a conversation with the others and checking up on them quietly. They all sounded fine. Though one of the voices was so quiet it was hard to make out. Most likely the scout.

[Don listens in while he pilots, relieved that Leo at least seemed to be handling it well. Five casualties? It wasn’t even that big of a group.]

[It’s another two minutes before he lands outside with no small amount of noise, swinging the carrier around to shorten the distance between the building and the aircraft. S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. flies out immediately, zipping into the building to help.]

Aaaand we have arrived. Please hurry up. These aren’t exactly stealthy.

[genius-built-donatello]

You good there bro

@s-hell-d-o-n

I'm going to bite something don't touch me

[genius-built-donatello]

Can S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. PLEASE stop running away when I’m literally just trying to do updates.
