Tuesday, July 2100
Andrey returned to the DHC reception building the next day, ready for another hunt. He sat down in the waiting room once again and took off his bucket hat, revealing short brown hair in a buzz cut.
As he waited, Andrey realized there was another function on his DHC Communicator that he forgot to check out: A small button labeled "DINOPEDIA", which according to marketing was a handy guide to all of the creatures on DinoHunt Corp.'s hunting tour.
Deciding to read up on some of the creatures before departing for his hunt, Andrey pressed the Dinopedia button. A blue holographic screen zapped to life.

BRACHIOSAURUS
PARASAUROLOPHUS
PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS
Andrey tapped "PARASAUROLOPHUS".
PARASAUROLOPHUS
A shy and fleet-footed (though sometimes clumsy) plant eater that communicates with others of its kind via long-distance calls.
They're easily frightened as their sensitive hearing causes them to interpret any unusual sound as a sign of danger.
Rarely, if cornered, a Parasaurolophus might headbutt its aggressor. However, most of the time it prefers to flee rather than defend itself.

Andrey flipped to the next page.
PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS
The dinosaur planet's equivalent to a mountain goat, Pachycephalosaurus is ordinarily rather dimwitted, but can be aggressive when defending territory or young.
Their skulls are larger than their brains, which is the reason for their unintelligence. Males have larger skulls compared to females.
Similarly to mountain goats and Earth's Pachycephalosaurus, males of the species engage in headbutting fights to secure mates and defend territory.

Just as he was about to flip to the next page, Andrey heard the automated voice call his name again.
"Nechay, Andrey."
He got up and walked to the receptionist's desk again. The receptionist wasn't typing on his computer this time and was simply sitting with his hands folded on the desk. He saw Andrey pass by.
"Good afternoon, sir! Need me to take you to the Hunt Selector?"
"No thanks, Garrett," said Andrey, noticing the man's name tag.
"Well, I guess I'll just leave you to it then," said Garrett. "Good luck on your hunt, sir!"
"Thank you, Garrett," Andrey responded.
Andrey proceeded to the Hunt Selector room. He flipped the switch and heard the automated female voice again.
"You are now using the DinoHunt Corp. Hunt Selector. Please select a dinosaur, location, weapon and equipment."
Andrey walked up to the "DINOSAURS" terminal and keyed over to the second dinosaur he'd be hunting. Another blue hologram appeared, this time showing a low-slung creature with a large, domed head, curved beak and a stiff tail sparsely coated in quills. Rough osteoderms jutted out from the back of its skull.
This time, the terminal read "Pachycephalosaurus".
Once again selecting a Shotgun and the coordinates for The Woods of Turan Choks, Andrey was ready for his second hunt. He held his breath as the automated female voice counted down once again.
"3... 2... 1."
Heyo, sorry for the hiatus, I forgot to post this because the first time around I had some problems with submitting the document. Sorry about that! But yes, Andrey's next target will be Pachycephalosaurus, just like in Carnivores 1.
