It's only been a few short days since Takahiro's Digitama popped open in Terminus City. The entity inside had rapidly digivolved to the Champion Level to protect Takahiro from an attack...and had since remained that way. Apparently this...was his default form. A five and a half foot tall humanoid with pointed ears, bandages covering much of his face and...a green hat. He could probably pass for a strange human, or a cosplayer to those not in-the-know.
The two had started to bond quickly, and after assuring Takahiro that they'd be alright, the Digimon had convinced his thirteen year old Tamer to take him to the park. It was night time, of course, since he didn't want to overwhelm the poor guy with crowds of humans. Doubtless there were still some around, though.
"It's quite lovely, here," Petermon comments, in that calm voice of his. His jaw doesn't move, of course, and it's impossible to see his mouth behind the bandages, so where is the sound coming fr--nevermind, let's not ask.
"It's...a little more in-tact than, uh. What I've seen of your world. Around the, um. The city," Takahiro replies.
The two are simply walking along the waterfront, Takahiro examining the D3 in his hand, whilst Petermon examines the scenery. The more fleshy of the two is poring over ideas in his head, occasionally wondering them aloud to his mostly-silent companion, "I wonder if I can, uh. Increase the...the scanning range on my Digivice,"
"Why would you want to do that, Takahiro?"
"Well, it's like Scout said. Not all Digimon that, um. Come through are friendly, right? So, uh. Well, I mean, if my dorky older brother can help protect people from them, maybe that's, um. Something we should...should thing about too. What do you...well, think?"
"It's an interesting idea,"
Well, that's not a no.

The night was calm and there weren't many people out at night, especially the deeper you went into the park. The lake itself was toward the center so they were in pretty deep, only a few lamps along some paths providing light beside the moon. The lake had a path along it's waterfront, the beach being mainly on the other side, and along this path, around just where the pair was walking was a bench.
They may not think to look but there was someone sitting at this bench, reading a paper as casually as one could to the light of the lantern next to him. It was almost silent, just the sounds of nature and some rustling from the breeze, but other than that, nothing, until "... lovely night huh?", they'd hear the voice as they walked by, a bit sudden and out of place in the calm night, the person didn't look out from behind their paper though, just tapping a foot a little.
Who was this guy? Why was he out this late at night? Had he heard their conversation?

The two exchange a look. Or they would, if Petermon wasn't staring directly at the newspaper, as if he could see through it. Unfortunately, he can't. Takahiro is more surprised that newspapers still exist. Crazy! Still, he's embarrassed that he hadn't noticed the man there...
"Um. Hello, sir. Yes, it's a...a lovely night," Takahiro slowly puts his D3 back into his pocket, as quietly as he can. Which means that he misses his pocket and drops it. He winces, and scrambles to pick it up. Dammit.
How much had he heard? Nnh. This could be bad, "Interesting place to, uh. Interesting place to read a newspaper at this hour, sir," Takahiro, what're you doing? Working your way up to probing for information? That's silly. Just leave, you fool!

His response was a bit, straightforward and blunt. He grinned behind the paper , the light gleaming off his teeth in a way that the duo would oddly be able to sense. "Interesting place to take your digimon at such an hour", he casually continued reading for a moment, looking to the device as it fell right before his feet.
"Careful! Don't loose that, It's pretty hard to get a new one ya know!",, he added, licking a finger and turning the page, and if they'd look, they'd notice on the side of his belt was a digivice of a different kind, a silver and green one.
He continued to sit however, humming a bit to himself casually as the two could feel his grin though the paper... or was that just an anticipated air of smug, either way who was this guy?

Okay. Think. He knows what a Digimon is, and seems to know what his Digivice is. That either means it's fine, or it's ten times worse than before. That's...hm. He eyes the figure hidden behind the paper again, "Oh, uh. Well, y-you see, sir, Petermon's been cooped up for a few days now, and I, uh. And I promised I'd show him some of the city. This seemed like...seemed like the safest time and place," At least it's the truth.
Petermon takes a step forwards, as if readying himself to defend Takahiro from this man. However, his posture remains relaxed, and he remains silent. Such an odd pair!

The paper for now remained up, the being behind it silent for a moment. "Sounds completely reasonable to me, in fact, sounds like what most people do around here., he said suddenly closing the paper and rolling it up in his lap, exposing his warm grinning face. It was an oddly comforting face. "Of course, when I said it was interesting earlier, that's because most people have the same idea, see that's why I'm here!"
He would stand up quick in a swinging motion, quite the big imposing human, but still seeming quite young. "See It's my job to make sure this place doesn't get out of hand at night! This place has more digimon than people after hours, and well. You know, as a D.A.T.S officer I'm supposed to help keep the secret of digimon from the general public. , he spoke now pacing a bit walking back and fort, holding the rolled up paper behind him and tapping his back with it.

Petermon's eyes stay locked on the man as he begins to walk around. He's in 'guard mode' right now, ready to intercept if the man turns out to be a threat to Takahiro's safety. D'aww. So sweet!
"Well, I. We assumed that most people didn't know for one reason or, uh. One reason or another. And it seemed better to keep it that way for the most part. People might not r-react favorably to finding out there's another intelligent species walking around, especially when, uh. When. When some of them aren't...friendly," Takahiro eventually manages to get out.
He jumps a little when the man gets to his feet, of course, but listens to what he has to say. "I've...never heard of D.A.T.S. or..." He looks at Petermon. He could pass for human pretty easily, but... "Does this mean we're in some kind of, uh. Some kind of trouble, sir?"

"Great observation!",He nodded stepping over to the two, looking down to them a bit but not down at them. "See you're right about that, the general public is much safer and more secure not knowing digimon exist, it also prevents their exploitation by humans and governments."
"So my job is a bit more than protecting people from digimon, it's sort of a balance both ways kind of thing.", he nodded. "Oh! Yea!", he spoke up realizing he needed to explain what D.A.T.S was exactly. "D.A.T.S, or Digimon accidental tactics squadron is an organization dedicated to preserving the balance between digimon and humans and our worlds though covert operations!" His stance was one of confidence and pride, the good hearted kind. Just from his smile you could tell he believed wholeheartedly in what he did.
"Now about you two being in trouble", he began raising an eyebrow at them. "You're fine... as long as you cooperate!"

And then Petermon says...oh, right. Nothing. Sigh. He must be awful at parties. Still, his stance slowly relaxes, as he senses that this man isn't a thread. Not an immediate one, at least. Everyone is a potential threat.
Takahiro steps to the side so he can see without his guardian being in the way, "Preserving the balance. Huh. Well...if...um. If it's what it sounds like, it, uh. It sounds like a good idea. But...I've heard words like that used to mean...y'know. 'One group is more important than the other, but let's put on a nice public face'," Oooh, someone's being forward today.
Co-operate. Oh boy. This...could be bad after all.
"Um. C-Co-operate with what, sir?"

He gave a hearty laugh"Believe me, Humans and digimon, both are the same in my eyes, we're all people with lives and feelings, we all have hopes and dreams, and we're all strong in our own ways", he spoke proudly putting a fist to his chest.
Heck we'd integrate you into society if society were a bit more... uh.. accepting heh, not everyone is so gung ho about all this as us Digidestined, mainly government folks, they're a pain to work with, but hey even they have pretty good reasons for their decisions sometimes", he added with a nod.
"Anyways, Yes Co-operation! It's simple really, you're not in trouble like I said. See D.A.T.S finds digimon by wide area scans, mostly sound actually it's really cool... I couldn't tell ya the tech behind it I think it's got to do with digimon reflecting sound waves differently than human world stuff, but who knows. Anyway, we scan the area and the scan detects digimon and identifies them. All I need you to do is register as a Digital visitor to the human world.", he made many wild hand gestures as he spoke, waving hsi hands about making little pings with his fingers for sonar and such.
"So when we scan the city and detect digimon we check to see if their frequencies are registered, and the ones that are registered we normally ignore. If it's unregistered we got to confront them and ask them to register and agree to our terms so to say...get where I'm going?"

Takahiro nods, slowly, relaxing a little more as he hears that they consider humans and Digimon to be equals. That's good. He doesn't deal well with prejudice or intolerance. “I th-think so,” He nods, again, trying to take all of this in.
“All you want to do is to 'register' my signature?” Petermon asks. His soft voice carries quite well, despite his jaw not moving (So presumably any lips he has remain stationary, too).
“That, um. That doesn't...sound too bad, I suppose. I suppose...uh. It depends on what your exact terms are, sir. I couldn't...agree to anything without hearing or reading everything, first,” Ah, good. The boy's kept his head.
“What, um. What exactly do you do with unregistered Digimon, sir?”

He would kneel down a bit to be level with the stuttering boy giving a gentle smile. "Good man! Knowing the terms is always great. I've explained most of it. Basically we'd know a few things, if we scanned your area we'd see which signature was you, and we'd be able to tell if you digivolved as we'd get a frequency change, higher frequencies mean higher power levels. If you digivolve to much you may get another visit but mainly just to check, we aren't looking to be too restrictive you know... ", he smiled going to stand back up after giving the boy a reassuring shoulder pat.
"Oh? Well uh it's like not having a passport, you get deported. Well the digimon does", he added very nonchalant for something that may be a bit jarring to hear.
