[The feed cuts on, showing one scruffy, somewhat scraggly, and slightly worn out Kratt. He's been working on the city every day and tonight, decided to sit around on the network afterwards.]

Hey Hiccup if you're around, maybe after all this is over with we can finally sit down and look at that notebook you've got? So far I've noticed a lot of Digimon are similar to all the creatures I studied back home, and I'd really like to see if that trend continues.

[He rubs his chin in thought- looks like a couple fingers have bandaids around them -and then looks back at the camera with a little gesture.]

And anyone who's had a partner digivolve, I'd like to know what their normal stage is and what they digivolved to? I'm just trying to figure out a couple things for myself regarding the process. [Let's face it, for a biologist like him the whole thing was a little nonsensical, but cool, and he wanted to see if he could figure it out.]

Thanks ahead of time, to anyone who replies! [And he reaches forward to cut the initial feed- wait it looks like that wrist is wrapped up in some kinda brace-?

[Making mental notes of all of this, thank you.]

Ah, yeah I'd heard of that! I'm not aware of having met many yet, but I do know they're around.

[And it's the best thing ever.]

[Perry raises his hand. He's one.]

[Blink, grin.]

Really?

Oh you've got to tell me more.

Yeah, I guess after that broadcast thing awhile back there's no point in the whole 'pretend to be a human' thing, right?

[As Bartholomew talks, Perry is busy drawing something on the white board. He pauses and looks at his partner. Perry moves his hand in a 'somewhat' gesture. That was the main reason he was willing to come out about this. Practically everyone knew from back then and while Chris hadn't been around then (obviously) it didn't bother Perry as much to share this information.]

[He finally holds up the white board and Chris will see a drawing of Perry the Platypus.]

[Chris waited, positively brimming with curiosity. Wonder what sort of animal Perry could be? A horse maybe? Nah, doesn't seem quite right; he probably would have heard from Fluttershy if there were other horses- eh, ponies? -around. Maybe a mustelid of some kind, or even a bird.

The sight of the drawing makes his eyebrows go up and he sits back, then leans forward again, beaming.]

A platypus?

[Ta da.

Perry smirks and gives a thumbs up. You've got it and Perry is just glad to hear someone knows what that is. Some of the robots had never heard or seen one and it was hard to describe a platypus and be taken seriously if you hadn't seen them before.]

[Take heart Perry, explorers didn't think the platypus was real either, when it was first discovered.]

That's great! [And by that grin, he really means it.] I haven't seen a platypus since we were down in Australia. [A little laugh.] That was an adventure...

[Perry draws again. It's a rather accurate drawing of Australia and a question mark. Clearly the question is 'You've been to Australia?']

Oh yeah! We've been all over Australia and Tasmania, studying platypi, red kangaroos, koalas... [A laugh.] Albeit by accident. And there was a tagging mission on Tasmanian devils once too.

Australia's one of my favorite places to be, really! It's so creature-diverse, it's one of the best evolution studies in the world!

[Perry has a satisfied smile on his face, clearly pleased for whatever reason. He uses his marker board again.]

Sounds like fun. I should visit sometime.
Was actually supposed to be vacationing in Africa before I wound up here. Some stuff came up.
:(

[And yes, he drew the frowny face. Sure it was months ago now, but he'd REALLY been looking forward to that vacation.]

['Platypi take vacations?']

Aww, I'm sorry t'hear that. Africa's a beautiful place. Can't count all the times we've been there.

Were you gonna do anything specific?

[They do when they are beloved family pets. He had to play sick though because of COURSE Doofenshmirtz had to be up to something.]

Safari mostly.
