Techno-Cosmic Research Institute (The Next Chapter)

T.C.R.I. (Techno Cosmic Research Institute) is a scientific corporation/organization with a large, mysterious and imposing facility in Brooklyn, New York City.

Inside
Though little is known of the ongoings inside the building, their organization's acronym was printed upon the canister of mutagen which transformed the Ninja Turtles and Splinter. The facility is, in actuality, the secret terrestrial base of a race of aliens called Utroms who had crashed on the planet Earth sometime in the early 2000s.

Having damaged their communication systems and lost a third of their crew in the crash, the Utroms used robotic humanoid exoskeletons and false skins to infiltrate the human population of New York City, gradually amassing enough capital to purchase a facility which they turned into their base of operations. Utilizing the slowly advancing technology of Earth, they re-established communication with the Utrom Homeworld, but were then told to remain in an observational capacity.
