Subject Three - "Leonardo"
Filed by Agent Bishop in Facility 96.
After the ambush today, we were able to capture two of our assailants. The first of these is a mutated turtle, likely one of the, "children," referred to by One. There are no legal records of Three's birth, therefore its consent to DNA testing is not required.
From a quick glance, we have been able to identify Three as a species of Red Eared Slider, its human DNA matching that of Hamato Yoshi. Three's metabolism is also extremely high, as the drugs used to sedate them wore off extreme fast. Likely due to the mutagen. Extracting a sample will be necessary.
Three shows an intelligence that should not be underestimated. It waited until a guard's back was turned before drawing a sword out of nowhere to attack. All items have been apprehended from its possession as to keep it from using anything as a weapon. It has asked to see subjects One, Two, and Four. We have permitted it to see Four, though through bars. We cannot allow these subjects to escape, they are our only access to the mutagen.
It should also be noted that Three should not be left without supervision for long. Several escape attempts have already been attempted, and we cannot risk another. Three is extremely observant and should not be underestimated.
It is suggested that Three can be used to better contain Four. If either escapes, nonlethal methods are recommended, but should it become necessary, kill on sight.

Subject Four was quickly apprehended with Three, though it took much longer to sedate it. It was noticeably much easier to apprehend it when threatened with Three's safety. Due to the lack of citizenship or record of Four being a legal citizen of the United States, consent is not required for DNA testing of any kind.
Four seems to he a mutated form of Alligator Snapping turtle with the shared DNA of Hamato Yoshi. This connection between Three and Four suggests that despite their differing species, they are related. It is recommended that we push further for One's consent to its DNA to see if that connection extends to it as well.
Upon speaking to Three, this conversation was recorded.
Four: Yeah... Fine. What about you, you okay?
Three: Other than getting needles in my arm? Fantastic. It's always been my dream to be a guinea pig in a lab against my will.
Four: Leo stop, that's not funny. Did you see if the others got out?
Three: Don't ask that. They're fine, but don't give anyone an inch to investigate it again.
Three: Shush. They're probably listening right now.
Four: Have you thought of a way out?
Three: God do you not hear me? Shush! And really? You wanna listen to my plans now?
Four: |after hesitation| You're probably right... I'm sorry...
Four: LEO I AM SORRY. |Four was then observed panicking with its hands on its head| I'm sorry, okay? You were right, we shouldn't have done this! We should have just waited to get dad back and - you were right...
|several moments of silence|
Four: Please talk to me...
Three: You weren't listening before... Why would you now?
Four: Because... I don't have a good reason.. But I'm sorry. I was scared, I ran in when I shouldn't have, I put us all in danger, and now you're paying for it.
Four: I knew you were right, but I... I didn't want to listen. I was so scared I'd lose them, like how we lost you. I wasn't ready to face that again.
Three: Dude I literally did this same thing when you got taken by the - |Three cut itself off here and glanced towards the camera, as if afraid to reveal information. Note for later|
Three: I got us all hurt trying to get you back. It took... God it took him talking to me to really sink in how dangerous this all is... I didn't think death applied to us before. I do now.
Four: Yeah... Because of what happened to you.
Three: No, because of what could have happened to you.
Three: Not here... But I get it. I just don't get why... You were always lecturing me for acting like that, why did you?
Four: Because it's what you would have done, before.
Four: You're our leader. Doesn't matter that you gave that title to me when you got hurt, deep down we all know you're the one we follow. Even when we were kids, Leo, you always had the plans, the ideas. You got us out of trouble or figured out the answers to our problems. You gave me the chance to prove myself again, and I didn't wanna waste it.
Three: So you thought making the same mistakes I did would help?
Four: I dunno what I thought... Just that that was how we used to do things. Go in, get it done, get out. You and I would fight like we always did but we'd get the job done.
Three: Keep talking like that and the people here are going to think we're assassins.
Three: ... Raph what are they gonna do to us?
Raph: Well... We know they didn't hurt dad...
Three: Dad has rights. We don't.
Three: They can prove dad is a US citizen. Us? We have no legal proof of existence anywhere. Nobody knows about us... They can do whatever they want to us...
Four: I won't let them. Not to you.
Three: ... We really gucked this one up, huh?
Four: Yeah... We did. I'm sorry, Leo.
Three: I know... And I forgive you... Hey, I have an idea.
After this both subjects refused to acknowledge or speak to each other. There was no indication of any communication between them other than their facial expressions. As ridiculous as it sounds, I suggest a mental connection of some kind.
It seems that Three is the only true motivation to keep Four calm and resistant to escape. It has not attempted to escape so much as see Three face to face. This could be utilized in their containment. Should Four escape, it's size is too big to kept alive. Do not engage, and kill on sight.
