“	What was it like being in Turtle Time? Yeah, no, it was weird. It was like waves of inertness... like all the energy was suddenly sucked out of my body, and then it would return. That's because that's exactly what was happening. He has the ability to transfer all the surrounding kinetic energy into himself. Leaving everyone else in a temporary state of potential energy.	”
