In WK x octonauts what would the octonauts think about creature powers disks

Hi, Anon! Good question!

So, in a scenerio which they’d see the discs and power suits in action (likely in the Wild Kratts universe where they’re all humans lol), I feel like their reactions would be unique to the character.

For example, Tweak, an engineer, would see it from the scientific standpoint. She, especially, would ask more in-depth questions about it (and let’s be honest, she would talk Aviva’s ears off). Not only are the creature power suits a scientific breakthrough… they are engineered. She’s wondering if it’s a science she can recreate/work with (not that they necessarily need it, but the aspect of matter shift is fascinating). I’m sure there’s a more scientific term for the mass displacement and whatnot, but I just got over being sick with the flu and I can’t think.

Dashi, of course, would find the idea fascinating- and would probably learn all she can about the power suits, discs, and their effects on the user and write about it in her blogs. And as you can imagine, there’s plenty of pictures/proof. Example: enhanced strength, elongated canines, and several other aspects of physical alterations.*

*(I think I referenced this before, but the characters in Wild Kratts, specifically Chris and Martin, have funny little character quirks. Martin had balanced well over 1,000lbs (453.6 kilos) on his shoulders in the episode, “The Blue and Grey”; Chris has that whole… Tasmanian Devil malfunction. Martin also disguised himself as a rock for a bit.)

Onto Shellington. Shellington, as a marine biologist, and seems to have an interest in biology to begin. So, when these people have the ability to possess the powers of other biological entities, it becomes fascinating. Because they are not limited to their own humanly bodies, and instead are altered to be able to adapt to the environment the animals they ‘transform’ into are from. He definitely has them transform into certain sea creatures to see if it affects their own instinctual patterns (which in some cases, it has been shown that can be the case). [This also applies to Pearl]

Peso is more freaked out than he is interested, insisting that it can’t be that healthy for them to be doing that to their bodies- in his mind, it has to cause wear and strain- especially considering the human body shouldn’t be able to shift and contort to fill the suits in the way they do at times (again with the mass displacement and redistribution). The poor medic is in a frenzy each time they activate the suits around him.

Kwazzi is enthralled. He would likely hop around all excitedly and insist that he tries at least once- in his home universe, he’s a cat! Why would this hurt him? And would likely go to Martin and ask (better if he uses the puppy eyes against him) to use the power suits. And at some point, he would convince them. Ends up borrowing Koki’s vest without permission and running off.

Professor Inkling is between Tweak’s enthusiasm and Peso’s concern. Yes, the idea is fascinating, the issue is the practice. By all means, this is something that logistically should be impossible. He has read this plenty of passages that involved theories, and legends of humans with animalistic features- but never… a suit that makes a human have the abilities and a mechanical appearance of a creature. He worries about their capacity, if their bodies can truly withstand these strains- but ultimately, his curiosity wins him over.

Captain Barnacles is… disturbed. He sees no necessity in this group of conservationists to be going through the trouble of… becoming a creature. There are easier ways to protect them- especially with the technology the world has with humanity (their own tech is a bit advance but also a bit outdated compared to the Kratts. Funnily enough, I think the Octonauts have more humanly limitations than the Wild Kratts do). It takes a long time for him to start expressing any form of interest in the discs and power suits… but he never warms up to the idea of them.

The Vegimals do not care, they’re teaching Jimmy how to make fish biscuits.

+BONUS of the Octo-Agents

Min would be utterly fascinated, in my opinion. She is very open minded about the idea, and expresses her interest through questions- and her own playful theories. Besides, it is basically a form of quantum tech, which is a theoretical science.

Professor Natquik quickly looks over it. He is more fascinated to test the Kratt team and their physical abilities outside of their suits. Their reflexes and intelligence specifically. While yes, it is fascinating, it’s the people behind the suit he cares about.

Panni is in the same boat as Kwazzi. He wants to know and try everything about the power suits, and isn’t quite reserved at all. If this guy can ride a mudslide down the side of a mountain, he will definitely wear and activate a power suit without caring about the risks. He likes the tech idea, but he doesn’t ask questions, he’s more focused on competing a bit with his friends.

Tracker would be a bit… nervous about the idea. It’s weird in his mind- why would a person want to do that? And he can only assume it hurts, right? Which isn’t good. He’d talk to Barnacles about his concerns- knowing that the older man would understand.

Is Ranger Marsh an agent? Does he count? I think, so I’m adding him. He was still using his radio for communication when he was first introduced, he sure isn’t going to approve of the Wild Kratts morphing their bodies with tech to match a creature. He does not understand how it works in the slightest, so he avoids it like the plague.

Calico Jack, as you can imagine, is between his grandson’s excitement and Marsh’s confusion. He is a ball of static electricity, waving back and forth on his feet when he sees it in action. It’s cool! But also super weird- but cool! And he’s everywhere, leaning on Marsh to tell him fictive tales about how he experienced ‘camouflaging beasties’ on the high sea that altered their appearance to look more like humans (he hadn’t seen a human before coming to the Kratts’ world).

Ryla doesn’t have a set opinion. As long as it’s not hurting anyone, she approves and finds it fascinating. No one has told her the suits can malfunction (do not let her find it out).

(I am aware I’m missing like two of the Agents, but… I haven’t seen enough of them to label anything. Oh. And I didn’t include the younger ones like Pinto and Koshi, just for the sake I feel like they wouldn’t ever step into the Kratts’ universe.)
