The Athena Code's
43. Say Hello to Mr & Mrs. Municipal

The end of winter in Virginia presents a fairly sunny morning in February 2022.

Chen Yuan has been standing by in his study room accompanied by the beautiful AI robot Anastasya.

At the beginning of ASTROGUN, Chen and Arthur tirelessly improved the quality and quantity of production. They only focus on both things because with Arthur in ASTROGUN the customers arrive by themselves without the need for massive promotion. Initially they just design and sell designs, then develop their own products.

The name Mr. G is very familiar in the ears of the world's military leaders as a genius weapons designer with leading-edge technological innovations. It was the human branding equivalent of massive advertising.

Today ASTROGUN is a multinational corporation that not only designs and manufactures mainstream weaponry such as long-barreled rifles, revolvers, combat cars, missiles, anti-missiles and the like. But also cooperated with DARPA in Artificial Intelligence and Robotic projects since Arthur was recruited as one of the scientists by DARPA. Their collaborative project in the form of research is also the design of robot warriors as weapons of war of the future.

Arthur's busyness made him unable to focus on ASTROGUN so that almost 85% of the company's arrangements were in Chen's hands. As far as Arthur knows, Chen has been doing his job well.

As in previous days, today the staff of ASTROGUN walk busy and busy. Working smart, precise, fast and accurate is their slogan.

At 09:00, Chen Yuan did not find Arthur's presence in his study. Chen called Arthur's number but there was no answer, and he called Bend Akiro.

"Bend, it's not usually that the boss is late without notice. What the hell's going on? "

"He was still asleep, I didn't dare wake him up, because he seemed to have barely slept all night."

"Hmm, what's the problem? "

"Eitherway. He was a little weird last night. Oh, that's him already showing up, fine with it because we're going to do an escort. "

"OK." Close Chen.

Arthur came down from the seventh floor. There was something different about his appearance today so all eyes were on him.

Some employees and staff who happened to cross paths with him found it awkward to see Arthur complete his performance today with a mini sling bag, of course to keep both of his phones close out of reach.

Usually the two phones are placed in a briefcase along with other items that are carried by Bend Akiro. Small things indeed, but enough to make a scene ASTROGUN Employees.

"Hmm, today he does seem strange." Chen muttered as he greeted the newly arrived Arthur.

"DARPA has contacted me, they want the signing of an immediate cooperation. Just as the Navy Seals wanted, a project to keep pace with Barbara's FWFP." Said Chen directly tell the thing that felt very urgent to Arthur.

"We offer all types and models of existing robotwarrior, except 'God of Beast'." Arthur walked quickly to his room.

"Barusan DARPA also reported that Barbara Clarkson had escaped with the help of The Shadows. They are believed to be hiding out to Palmyra Atoll. " Continue Chen.

"Breng*s*k!! " Obsolute Arthur. He recalled the words of Admiral Spencer who would send Athena with the team to Palmyra Atoll.

"Oops!!" Pekik Chen was surprised because he had never heard Arthur curse this fiercely before.

"Have you set my schedule for California today?" Ask Arthur when he gets to his room. Then he leaned his back against the back of the chair.

"It has. What's the sudden business going to California?" Chen asked curiously.

"In due course you'll know." The mysterious Arthur.

"Oh, so? I'll figure it out in five minutes." Oceh Chen's.

"Don't be a hard-ass, this is for you." Arthur said while thrusting a hard drive at Chen.

"Hwoaaaa ..., really?!! " Sahut Chen can't believe Arthur gave him what he wanted most during this "hyper humanoid robotic program".A program that can make humanoid robots almost perfect as human replicas.

" Don't be too happy, it's set up for one humanoid robot. Can't be doubled."Ketus Arthur's.

"Hmm, Okay! It's quite. Astro-airbus is ready for departure at eleven. Everything's been sorted out to your order Mr. CEO." Said Chen while joking.

Arthur departs for California with the tight control of Bend Akiro and his team, as well as the newly remake and reprogrammed Roboguard Alexus. All security team personnel are required to wear casual clothing to avoid excessive public attention.

The distance from Virginia to California is about 3,600 kilometers or about 2,400 miles and can be reached within five hours by plane.

The Astro-Airbus landed smoothly at San Diego International Airport, California just in the afternoon at 16:31.

Arthur easily finds the Munaf family's RA Karate Academy in San Diego. It is also home to the Munaf family.

Arthur did not want to be rash, he and his security team parked the vehicle in a place a little far in order to monitor the situation of the Munaf family home first.

Once it felt safe he asked his guards to wait in the distance where they parked the car. Then Arthur walked alone to the two-story house with a large enough yard.He was determined to get acquainted and try to get closer to the Heilen family. He had been mentally prepared since last night and he was sure that both of Heilen's parents would accept him kindly.

Arthur was greeted by small children in white karate uniforms complete with multicolored belts some of which were training with a young karate master and some of them just running around the yard.

"Hi, high uncle are you going to train with us?" Ask a little limatawanan boy by showing his toothless tooth.

"Hi, too . Yes, I want to train with you. " Answer Arthur.

"Good afternoon, what do you need? Is there anything I can help you with? Introduce me Franda one of the staff here. " Who is a woman from one of the main doors.

"Good afternoon, I am Geon Arthur Yildiz, can you meet the owner of this place? I have a little need. " Answer Arthur.

"Please wait a minute, I'll call them first. " Said Franda.

"Please." Answer Franda briefly.

Meanwhile, in her home, Antonia Jhonson, Heilen's mother was in front of a surveillance screen. He looked at the face of a stranger who was visiting his house. Antonia squinted her eyes full of suspicion.

His phone rang, he knew it was a call from Franda.

"Antonia, someone named Geon Arthur Yildiz wants to meet you and Mr. Hypocrites."

"Take him into the living room, he's suspicious, perform first-rate security procedures." Antonia's Order.

"Good." Answer Franda close the call.

Arthur was looking through photos of the activity plastered on the wall of the main training room . In addition to karate, it turns out that RA Karate academy also receives Boxing, Jiu-jitsu and kick boxing classes, which consist of Adult Classes (adult classes), Advanced Classes (advanced classes/experts), and more, Basic training (classes for beginners/children), and private class.

"Geon Arthur Yildiz, please wait in the living room. Let me take you. " Surprisingly Franda.

"Good." Arthur replied briefly. It felt like he was a little nervous to imagine meeting with the two parents of the woman who had been filling his heart for two years.

Arthur followed Franda's steps into the living room innocently and expectantly .Unbeknownst to him, two large tall youths in karate uniforms complete with black belts came from the door of the room to the right of the main training room.

The two young men quickly pull Arthur's arm from behind and immobilize Arthur in an instant using Heel hook's locking technique. Clearly Arthur was helplessly made.

"Awww.aaaakhhhhh! Unleash it. Release him! Hey what the fuck? Aaaaakh.... . " Squeaking Arthur. No bodyguard will hear because he has disabled all security gadgets attached to his body.

The two young men then lifted Arthur's body so easily into a closed room and handcuffed Arthur's arms with chains. A middle-aged woman was slightly fat, short hair shoulder to shoulder with a revolver in hand that was directly pointed at Arthur.

I was too naive this time. Oh, what kind of bad luck is this? Arthur's scream in the heart.

"Say what is your purpose in our house and who sent you? Do you intend to harm us to pressure our daughter? Don't dream that easy young fool! " Hardik is a middle-aged woman in front of Arthur while playing with the revolver in his hand.

"I'm sorry aunt, I'm not that kind of person. I'm here to offer you a partnership. " Arthur hurriedly conveyed the main purpose of his arrival. He already felt certain that in front of him this must be Heilen's mother. True said the fruit fell not far from the tree, inner Arthur.

"What is this Antonia? Who is that young man?. " Suddenly Heilen's father appeared and it seemed like he had just arrived home.

"He was very suspicious, it was fortunate that I was doing regular monitoring. I saw on the monitor he came in two cars full of bodyguards. But then he came to our house alone. Suspicious right? It seems there is something he is hiding. " Ketus Antonia's.

"Yes right it's my bodyguards, I'm a CEO of a company that wants to offer you cooperation. " I cried Arthur tried honestly so that the two Heilen parents did not constantly misunderstand.

His mother was horrible like this, deservedly his daughter was very barbaric. Arthur's grumbling in the heart.

"Hmmm, is it true what you say young man. What company do you have so want to cooperate with us martial arts experts." Said Heilen's father more wisely.

"I'm a humanoid robot maker, I want to adopt all of your martial movements into a program that I'm going to embed in the humanoid robot brain system, so that they can have martial abilities equal to yours." Arthur replied seriously.

"What kind of empty "mong is that. You think we're acting in a science fiction movie. Don't think we can lie to young people. Tell me the truth otherwise I won't hesitate to shoot you." Strangled Antonia again.

"Wait, if you don't believe me, I'll call my robot here." Persuade Arthur. "Please take my hand off this chain. " She said as calmly as possible so as not to provoke more runyam atmosphere again.

Ahmad Rizal Munaf opens the chain handcuffs from Arthur's arms while Antonia keeps pointing her revolver at Arthur.

Arthur rolled up his shirt arm slightly, then pressed the control remote bracelet that was coiled around his arm. He chose the friendly mode then spoke to Alexus through that control bracelet.

"Alexus come here to my place peacefully, I'm safe here and fine. Tell Bend to stay there. " Arthur's orders to Alexus.

Soon, the sound of the children outside was heard so that they saw a robot walking in front of them. They're overjoyed because they think it's a surprise circus robot from Mr. Self-righteous.

"Alexus, focus, stay where I am." Arthur's orders again.

Alexus appeared in front of them. Some of the children wept wanting to keep up with Alexus but were blocked by Franda outside.

Antonia Jhonson and her husband were agape at what lay before them, truly a humanoid robot.

"Say hello to Madam and Mr. Munaf. " Arthur's orders to Alexus.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Munaf, nice to meet you. " Say Alexus was friendly and human.

"Ha..looo." The two couples answered spontaneously.

"But I don't trust you completely, young man. Where do you know about us and I want one person we know to be able to convince us that you are not a bad person who often cheats.Sorry we have to be careful because there are things we have to do cover." Heilen's father explained again.

Arthur didn't lose his mind.

"Call Ibrahim pious Munaf, send him my picture and ask him if I'm lying. " Say Arthur issued his ultimate move so that Heilen's parents could trust him.

"Well, you know my brother Ibrahim? Well I'll call him. " Tukas Heilen's father called the Indonesian defense minister, his brother.
