According to [[Weazel News|news reports]], the captain and entire crew of the ''Platypus'' disappeared shortly after the ship docked and the passengers disembarked. [[Dave Bosoy|One of the crew]] was found in the [[Humboldt River]] with whip scars on his back - apparently the man who was engaging in sado-masochism with a woman as the ship was docking. The ship remains docked in [[Broker]] throughout the game and, if Niko chooses to exact his [[revenge]] on [[Dimitri Rascalov]], is the setting for [[A Dish Served Cold]], suggesting Dimitri intended to steal it and escape America. After this he calls Roman to tell him that "it ended where it began".

The Platypus is also included in the [[Bomb Da Base II]] mode of [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|GTA IV's multiplayer]]. After stealing a [[Securicar]] loaded with explosives, a helicopter flies to the Platypus. Arriving at the Platypus, a heavy gun battle begins. This is similar to the Revenge mission, however the Platypus ship is now under control of the [[Albanians]]. Two bombs must be planted on either the upper or lower levels of the ship while gunning down Albanians. The multiplayer team must then escape the ship before the explosion.
