It starts with hurt feelings and self-esteem. October 4, 1957 was the day when the United States felt defeated. That day the Soviet Union launched the first rocket into space carrying the world's first satellite, Sputnik I.
Not to be preceded by Russia, U. S. President Dwight Eisenhower also founded the Advance Research Projects Agency (ARPA), which was later renamed the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). Exactly a year after the launch of Sputnik , in 1958.
It is said that DARPA is filled with super-intelligent scientists (genius) so it is nicknamed “mad scientists” because of their ability to give birth to ideas beyond normal limits. Most DARPA projects are confidential but those involved often can't keep their mouths shut.
DARPA as one of the special units under the United States Department of Defense (Pentagon) has a mission and purpose to lead and prevent lag in the field of technology.
One of their big projects is developing advanced robots and weapons with futuristic technology. Among their works are bullets that can turn after their targets, bullets that can turn avoid obstacles, implants that can make someone have vision power like Ironman, flying cars, flying cars, stealth aircraft and other like. Adapted to technology that is now a part of human life such as ARPANET and GPS. ARPANET was invented in 1969 and was the beginning of the INTERNET.
In other words, DARPA embodies what was previously thought to exist only in science fiction films. One by one it creates a wild image of man in the field of science and technology.
Geon Arthur Yildiz worked as a Neurorobotics engineer. Neurorobotics is the combined study of neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence). Science that seeks to bring replicas of the human nervous system into machines, including robots. For the sake of gaining new experience back then Arthur was willing to leave the rapidly developing Astrogun and officially appointed Chen Yuan as his representative. Since working at DARPA this is Arthur got the title Mr. Genius or commonly abbreviated as Mr. G.

Virginia, United States
January 29, 2022
Today is the peak day of the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC). DRC is a competition between robot engineers to demonstrate the superiority of their design robots. Like in previous years Barbara Clarkson took the time to visit this competition area directly. Of course, to find new talents that he can hire according to his ambitions.
Unfortunately, he had to swallow disappointment several times . He has not found a replacement for Mr. G is equivalent. His secret project on the ghost island of Palmyra Atoll has not been completed as expected. All because Arthur is not willing to join the secret project. “Basic guy stubborn.’’Hisses.
Barbara Clarkson walks among the various shapes and types of robots on display in the race hall. Four formally dressed bodyguards walked behind him on standby. Beautiful face, proportional body and elegant appearance are its main characteristics. After a long career struggle, he was finally in the important position of DARPA Vice Chairman in the field of Project Supervisory. All projects in DARPA must go through their approval and supervision.
“Edrick, have you arranged my meeting with the shadow?”Barbara asked the big tall white man who was walking beside her.
“Everything is ready lady. The Shadow is waiting for you at the moment in the special room VVIP .’’ Answer Edrick quickly.
“Hmm, good. Take me there right now. It feels very boring here.” Ketus Barbara's.
They left the Innovation Building where the Robotic Race was taking place, returning to the DARPA building in Arlington.
Barbara Klarkson and her staff and bodyguards arrived in Arlington minutes later. Enthusiastically he walked towards one of the VVIP living rooms. Only he was alone, his staff and bodyguards waited faithfully in front of the room which had indeed been provided as a comfortable waiting room. All the rooms in this building are designed modern and futuristic.
Gracefully Barbara occupied the chair. In front of him had been waiting for the figure of a man in black, large height. The black man who looked sweet and neat with his characteristic thick lips.
“Welcome Shadow. Long time no see.”Sapa Barbara's.
“You never get old, lady. Stay beautiful and shine.’’ The man called Shadow.
‘’I have punished Vivian for her failure to finish off Athena-1609. According to Vivian he protected Mr. G. Things that cannot be left if until they ally against me. This time I want you to repeat the success when you and your team cripple and kidnap Mr. G that night.”Barbara said firmly and kept the threat.
“Kidnap Mr. G again?” Shadow asked with a sharp grin.
“Fast! It turns out that the documents and blueprints we took from him were not enough to launch the NEFERTITY project . I need him to solve it directly, like it or be forced. Take Mr. G alive to our base at Palmyra Atoll for the second time. After that finish the SEAL bre** girl. He has troubled me a lot. I don't want to hear the words fail. “Barbara's government doesn't mess around.
“I never dared to disappoint you lady.”Answer Shadow obediently.
“According to Vivian's report. Escort Mr. G is currently highly tightened. Use the classic method. Do it slowly, you just need to be patient . Wait for him to be off guard and away from his guards. I've prepared a large fund for your operation this time. Bring your best team to Jakarta as soon as possible.”Tukas Barbara again.
“All will run as your command, lady.”Close Shadow before parting from the VVIP room.

It was still dark, precisely before dawn, Heilen woke up and found himself lying beside Arthur, still in a position to hug the man's body. Heilen hurriedly pulled his arm and got up.
He noticed Arthur was still sound asleep.
"Hm .. I didn't expect this guy to have psychosomatics in him. What bad memories in her life are hard to forget?. " Heilen muttered alone while fixing the blanket on Arthur's body . "Who gave you this blanket?"Ask yourself. It could have been Irina or Kamila when she fell asleep with Arthur last night, she thought.
Heilen leaves the back porch leaving Arthur, who is still asleep alone. Heilen believes Arthur's condition is stable, proven Arthur can sleep soundly.
" How's Arthur's brother doing now? "Ask Irina.
"I've seen her calm down all night after Heilen's treatment, thanks to Hella I didn't think you understood much about such a disease. I checked my brother was up, probably back in his room. " Light Kamila.
"Hmm. equally. " Hurry Heilen reply.
"You look like a professional nurse all night, I'm sure you have experience learning medicine. Wow you are so amazing Heilen, good at martial arts is good at taking care of sick people too. I want to be your patient sometime too. " Cerocos Chen Scooping his food.
"Owh it . I have little experience. " Heilen's voice is low.
"What do you think Arthur's brother is sick? " Tanya Irina kepo.
"From the symptoms may be psychosomatic. Cause we've never seen him like that in here. It seems like there is an event, news, or something in the present that evokes bad memory that he may have in the past, until his soul is re-shaken. " Answer Heilen straightforwardly.
"Right, my brother used to have psychic disease." Sahut Kamila .
Chen suddenly blames himself for bringing some sensitive news that could have triggered Arthur's illness. It was none other than that he thought Arthur had made a full recovery from his psychosomatics.
"Aunt Farah, has breakfast for Arthur's brother been brought to his room? " Task Kamila as they all finish breakfast.
"Yes neng, already . Alhamdulillah den Arthur already looks fit earlier. " Aunty Farah said with a sumringah, she was happy to see Arthur's condition had returned to normal. The young people in this house are like their own children.
After breakfast, Chen met Arthur in his room to say goodbye. Arthur looked as neat and fresh as he had never been sick before. Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Arthur stood leisurely at the window with one hand going into his pants pocket. His eyes were fixed on the trees and flowers in the garden beside the house.
"I'm sorry. I didn't have much consideration when I gave you information. I'm sorry I was negligent in sifting through the information. " Say Chen carefully.
"Hmm.you have worked well, I must thank you. Last night I felt Anastasya and Athena were just unlucky to have a friend like me. Do you believe the myth about the unlucky carrier? "Sahut Arthur is desperate.
" I can't believe you said that. You're a robot designer, a world-class neurorobotics engineer, how can you think illogically like that. Everything goes according to its own vision, stand up to face reality. The world needs you so much, you're so precious. This afternoon we will go to Berlin. I'll wait for you in Astrogun. We're gonna solve all the messes together. " Tukas Chen was so serious for the first time.
"Retail my flight to Virginia for next week. Agend me to meet Admiral Spencer as soon as possible "Tell Arthur .
"Wow, really? Well I'll take care of your departure. Do you want to be picked up by Astrophoenix (the Astrogun company's aircraft)?"
"Yes, this time I want a quiet and comfortable ride. "
"It also further guarantees your safety. All right, I'm saying goodbye. Take care of yourself and your health . Don't forget you're the number one man in Astrogun. A lot of people need you, Arthur. " Said Chen. For the first time he felt heavy leaving Arthur after seeing the weakest sides of a Geon Arthur Yildiz whose name is so big in the world of military weapons technology.
"I'll remember your words, this is the first time you look serious and sincere.Go." Arthur said withholding laughter.
"What the fuck, when I'm serious he laughs at me instead. " Chen was confused.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. " She said, patting Arthur on the shoulder and moving out of the room. Not to forget Chen said goodbye to Kamila, Heilen and Irina.
"Koko, sometime the three of us will go to hollywood, koko must accompany us. " Say Irina cheerful.
"of course. I'll take you around to places you like. Remember to inform me before your departure" said Chen enthusiastically.
"Thank you, handsome and kind-hearted Koko Chen. " Say Irina again. Chen replied with a sweet and warm smile.
"Koko Chen, good-bye . Hope you arrive safely to the destination. " Heilen Do'a.
"Finally you're talking sweetly to me, wonder woman." Temptation Chen. Heilen glared at hearing that. Then they all laughed together.
"Yes Koko, good-bye. Don't forget to stop by again sometime. " Continue Kamila.
"of course. You guys are so sweet it will make koko miss. Well, see you girls. " Close Chen then he stepped into the car that had been waiting for him since. Melinda waited for him inside impatiently.
A few days later, a luxury car owned by Adam Sinaga appeared. This time, he got word that Arthur was sick.
