A tall, thin-faced man got off a special plane and was greeted by a senior detective.
This is America, and the tall man is Nugroho, a member of the secret division who was sent by lieutenant Anwar to investigate the disappearance of Professor Himawan.
"Welcome! Come on," said the senior detective in the local language, English. And Nugroho's next conversation is in English.
"A pleasant trip" Nugroho greeted as he shook the senior detective's hand and the two then entered the pickup car. Black sedans that look sturdy and side glass coated with film with a maximum level of concentration.
Both of them were sitting comfortably next to each other on the back bench. The senior detective who introduced himself as Rick Clooney looked impatient and immediately told the story of Professor Himawan's disappearance.
"We have some evidence and suspects. But we also encountered a deadlock."
"meaning?" wonder Nugroho.
"The culprit was one of the lab staff itself, clearly his identity was there. But when we went inside, it turned out that he was faking his identity."
"Is there a hair sample or nail piece from the abuser?" nugroho's question made Rick wonder.
"Yes, will the results come out soon?"
"We suspect there's something much bigger than kidnapping or ransom. We suspect, this is something else."
"Well, we'll have the forensics team look into the perpetrator's mes to bring in the forensics or whatever it is."
The car that both were riding was to the destination. Headquarters of the CIA, Langley, USA
Arriving inside the office, Rick is approached by an expert from the forensic team, he appears to be carrying a file.
"Well, here it is. Doctor, explain to us what you found,"
"From the hair samples we found, it turns out that the DNA chain is somewhat different from most humans," said the doctor with a romance that is like a confused person, or like a person who has difficulty explaining something.
"I mean??" Rick did not understand.
"Hair, more like a gorilla or orangutan's hair."
"What??? sit down first Doc, come on in and explain slowly to us.

"Professor I'm sorry, we had to bring you here so badly" said a tall, white man. Like the albino.
Professor Himawan who still felt dizzy, could only grimace while squinting because the glare of the lights in the closed room was so big and blinding.
"What do you want from me?" said Professor Himawan. He did not understand why he was kidnapped along with the artifacts he brought.
"Where did you find the artifact?" Professor Himawan is so strange, if you just want to know the location of the artifact discovery, there is no need for a laboratory staff to anesthetize and bother bringing him here, in front of this albino foreign man.
"Why did you bother bringing me here, I must have announced it in the meeting room."
"You don't know who Professor is dealing with" the albino replied.
"Alright, now tell me, I'm dealing with who and what interests you have with the location of the artifact's discovery,"
Until there, Professor Himawan remembered something, something he himself thought was impossible.
"Alright, maybe it's good you know about us before you die. Thousands of years ago, we, the Hannom people, demanded justice and recognition and equal rights. Because, humans always do more and forbid us from learning the technology you've achieved."
"Shortly a moment, did I not mishear, you are not a nation of men?"
"You are from a half-ape human race?"
"Right Professor, it seems you know a lot. Let's talk while we're coffee. The journey here must be exhausting.

The Hannom families who were left behind during the great war seemed anxious behind the huts in the village hidden in the forest.
Most of them are wives and children. They did not say much, they prayed more, especially after hearing the sound of a simple mountain eruption and seeing a heavy and black sky.
The days later became bleak. Because the sea rages and tsunamis occur on all coastlines around the world.
the forests became arid as the volcanic ash contained in the sky blocked sunlight from reaching the leaves for weeks. The remaining Hannom people were starved and exposed to plague in the interior of the forest.
Massive exodus they had to do.
"In fact, the elders continued the story, our nation was hunted down and cruelly wiped out by you, the human race," said the Albino man closing the story with a grunt full of vengeance and a dim chest holding back anger.
"I'm sorry, but our history doesn't"
"Which history!!! it happened long before a. D., it's the turning point where we go back primitive!!!"
Professor Himawan remembered the story in the scriptures. Of the great flood that drowned the whole world and left only the prophet Noah and his followers.
"Now what do you expect after knowing the location of the artifact's discovery?" professor Himawan said, thinking further, "don't you,"
"The location of the artifact's discovery was that big battlefield. The point of attack of all nations against the human race was the center of the civilization of Atlantis. And! At the center of the Atlantean civilization was an installation of the holy grail. That, that's our goal."
"So you said yourself, Atlantis was destroyed, the whole world was in a tsunami, all the volcanoes erupted, is it possible that the holy grail installation still exists?"
"At the very least, we will study it and reconstruct it. We've tried to exterminate you several times. But you're always safe. You need to know, the great plague in the middle ages was us, a contagious disease that you can not treat all this time also our actions. We, from long ago, the remaining of us rose up and united. We've been blending in with you since the advance of surgery in Europe. Each of our offspring was born, we instantly cut off the tail and grafted the nose bones. Our differences are only in the tail, the fur in the skin and the skull structure of the nose, we don't have a nose bone like you. Since the advancement of medical technology, all of that can be overcome. Lookie! Look, we're no different from you."
Hearing all of that, Professor Himawan was dumbstruck. Allegedly there are other nations besides the human race turned out to be true.
"We have mixed up with you and in almost all countries we exist and I am in control myself. Things will turn around Professor."
Professor Himawan gulped bitterly as soon as the horrors of war were drawn on his face.
"We have a lot of plans, while you're helping us out here, Professor, sorry for the trouble,"
*Professor Himawan is Bondan's father who is said to be missing in the early scene
