  We study the scalar fields of the five-dimensional N=2 hypermultiplets using
the method of symplectic covariance developed in previous work. For static
spherically symmetric backgrounds, we show that exactly two possibilities
exist. One of them is a Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfeld (BPS) zero-brane carrying
charge under the hypermultiplets. We find an explicitly symplectic solution of
the fields in this background and derive the conditions required for a full
spacetime understanding.
