SURVIVORS
Chaptre 351. The American Marine Monitoring Post
"We were stranded here since noon. We didn't know this island was inhabited" replied Robert.
^^^ Means: "We've been stranded here since noon. We didn't know the island was inhabited."^^^
"Oh, so you can speak English huh?" The corn-haired man nodded his head.
^^^Arti: "Oh, so you can speak English huh?"^^^
Robert nodded.
"Where are you guys from?" ask the man again in English.
Robert became the spokesperson and replied in English as well. "We are passengers on SAE Internatinale aircraft which departed 15 November 2021 from Jakarta to Singapore" explained Robert.
Those people were obviously very surprised.
"really?" tanyanya could not believe it. What about the other victims?"
"Don't say anything about the other world!" Dr. Chandra warns through voice transmission.
Robert shakes. "Only we are stranded on an island we do not know. Maybe others are stranded on other islands. With that in mind, we moved the island in a wooden boat. Find another victim, seek help and return to Indonesia, Singapore or Malaysia" Robert replied.
It seems obvious they don't believe that explanation.
"Hemm .. Let us inform the authorities of your arrival here. So you better rest inside.
"They want us to rest inside" Robert told Dean and Dr Chandra.
"alright. I feel hungry. Do they have food?" ask doctor Chandra.
"We feel hungry. Can I get food inside? If not, then we'll just find fish or shrimp, on the beach." Robert tried to negotiate.
He honestly did not want to follow that group of people into a magnificent building that was not clear of function.
"certain. We will prepare the food" replied the corn-hair.
Robert nodded towards the doctor Chandra and Dean.
"Are you sure you want to go inside? It's not too late for us to escape from here." Robert said through voice transmission.
"We can destroy the building, if they want anything" said Dr. Chandra. He stepped up, followed Dean. He was led to the entrance of the building.
"Is your boat on the beach?" search that guy again.
Robert shook his head. "Our turf is broken, not strong enough to hold the waves. We only tied a few logs that turned out to be very fragile" Robert concocted a story that flashed across his head.
"I think you used to be a champion in writing lessons" Dean tapped into a voice transmission.
"Shut up!" reply Robert is upset.
"Then you guys got stranded here." The man nodded his head. "You speak English well. Where are you from?" search again.
"I'm from the United States" Robert replied honestly. "If you may know, what's your name and we're stranded in the border post of which country?" askalanya.
"I'm Stephen, and this is the United States marine monitoring post. Consider it already in your own hometown." His smile looks friendly.
"Thank you," Robert replied with a smile as well.
Robert, Dean and Dr. Chandra were taken to a fairly large room. It looks like a dining room, as there is a pantry with a coffee machine and a sandwich maker in the corner.
"Please sit down first. It takes time to prepare extra food" he said, pulling up a chair, then sitting down.
The three friends also sat down. Table for four, fit for them to occupy.
Someone came and brought a paper and a pen. The man took the corn and thrust it into each of his guests.
"Please fill in your data. Name, address and origin of the country" he said.
Doctor Chandra noticed the paper hvs and the pen in front of him. Her tears piled and flowed uncontrollably.
"Are you okay?" ask Dean.
"I just feel haru. Didn't expect to see this thing again. I don't know if I'm good at writing or not." Doctor Chandra shook his head.
As the corn-haired man continued to watch over Chandra's doctor, Robert took the initiative to explain.
"He said he never thought he would see paper and pen again. I don't know if I'm writing well or not!" obviously Robert.
"Oh, I get it. Please write slowly. Your data will be sent to the nearest post. Hopefully they will confirm it soon and invite you here" explained the person.

After enjoying the evening meal, the man took three of his guests to one fairly large room, with three single beds.
"I hope you don't mind this makeshift arrangement" he said humbly.
"Thank you" said Robert.
"Robert, ask if there's a bathroom or not here. His body feels sticky!" gerutu doctor Chandra.
"Is there a bathroom here?" ask Robert. "We want to shower and clean the body."
The corn-haired man stepped in. He crossed the room, then stopped in front of a door.
"It's the bathroom" she said, opening the door and showing the contents.
Then he walked towards a simple wooden cabinet. Open the door and show the contents as well.
"You can change into clean clothes with this," he pointed out.
"Well, that's great! There's new clothes!" sengjaya. Approach the closet and choose what you like.
Dr. Chandra's attitude again made the irang frown
"He wants to take a shower. Thank you for the change of clothes," said Robert politely.
"Good."
The person just smiled seeing Dr. Chandra casually stepping into the bathroom.
"Please order. I must immediately report your arrival," he said at the door. Robert nodded and put on a friendly face, until the door closed again.
"Huh. Stiffen once," grumbled Dean.
"We should be clean, then rest. Somehow tomorrow how it turned out, we'll just wait. However, they must first reconfirm our data. Hopefully it's all over soon, and we can go home" Robert said.
"You can't talk about anything else directly. They're afraid they're installing a cctv and a conversation recorder!" Doctor Chandra's voice entered the heads of the two.
"Okay, Ruler," replied Dean and Robert.
That night was long. Because no sound was heard from the room. His third eye closed. But they were talking through voice transmissions.
"Lord, what if they'll wonder about our necklace?" ask Dean.
"Yes, don't say anything" replied Chandra
"What if we're being urged?" ask Dean again.
"I can make you unable to access the necklace" said Dr Chandra.
"really? Then tell me how," said Robert enthusiastically.
But there is a risk," replied Dr. Chandra lightly.
"What's the risk? Dangerously not?" ask Dean.
Dr. Chandra was silent for quite a while. "I just have to put my soul to sleep" the Light Nation that is with us" he concluded.
"Sleeping the Light Nation's soul? Doesn't that mean we'll lose our ability?" dean's Protest.
"Well, that's the risk. But consider. That ability is only lost for a while. If things are precarious, that's the best way to protect our families in a small world" explains Dr Chandra.
"Are we going to die here?" ask Robert.
"What I'm most afraid of is being an object of research!" doctor Chandra's.
"If we lose our strength, we can die. What about our family there?" objection Dean.
"Life is full of choices. When needed, you have to choose and struggle with that choice. The next level is to accept destiny. At least, we're trying to protect the people we love."
No more discussions after that. The three people slept uneasily.
