The Athena Code's
72. A NEW FREN

Clara Hamilton's House

Heilen and Clara had just arrived home. The atmosphere of the house is very quiet.

"Heilen, sorry before. It's not that I'm interfering in your personal matters, it's actually what makes you so sad and chaotic tonight. I see it and feel it, you can't hide it from me" Clara said as she slammed into the couch and took off her shoes.

"I.., i. ,haaah.. Clara I can't tell you yet" Heilen replied following Clara's movements, leaning her tired body against the sofa.

"What is your relationship with Mr G? He just left us when I said your name, "look at Clara suspiciously.

"Why me? Wasn't he close to Rossie, you said they were together" Ketus Heilen.

"Hmm, as far as I'm concerned, Rossie's been approaching her all this time but she's kept cool and unresponsive."

"Oh, so. Really true?" Heilen reacted like he was getting new energy.

"Just yesterday Rossie said that their relationship is now improving. Arthur sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers a few days ago," Clara's story matches what she heard from Rossie.

Jamb. The beautiful sparkle in Heilen's bead faded again. Clara was unconsciously sowing salt over Heilen's pain. Pain that cannot be explained.

"Oh..," Heilen's reaction was bitter.

"Well if you don't want to tell me anything now" Clara said.

"Now rest first, tomorrow I'll take you to the airport and Felix will pick you up at San Diego Airport" Clara said.

"OK, Clara. Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening. It was a really amazing night. I will never forget this night in my entire life. Once again I am very grateful, Clara," Heilen muttered softly, then passed to the bedroom that had been reserved for her.

Clara had not yet answered Heilen. He just looked at the girl. Whether the problem is what makes Heilen not open to him, Clara can not read it. But he believes this has something to do with Geon Arthur Yildiz aka Mr G, Clara's feeling is so sharp.

Clara breathed heavily, not knowing how to comfort Heilen. He went to check on Eve and Douglas, both of whom had fallen asleep. So are grandma and grandpa-they.

Clara then decided to rest in a deep sleep.

The quiet middle of the night the piano sounds clinking, accompanying a sad song "Somewhere Only we know" from Keane, but the song has been covered by many singers, maybe because this song really represents a sad heart at the loss of someone who is very dear.

Heilen played Douglas' piano skillfully, his beautiful voice flowing.

Clara was awakened by the song Heilen performed. Clara begins to realize Heilen's grief is deep. Again he could only let the girl live out her grief.

When she was ready she would definitely tell me, Clara murmured inwardly.

ASTROGUN CORP., MAN,

The next day, the,

"Arthur can I go around Astrogun for a while, let's just say study appeal. Who knows I could adopt Astrogun's security system to be implemented in SINAGA Group, with your help of course, hehe..., " pinta Adam Sinaga opened his chat this morning with his flat-faced cousin.

"I don't think your company has a security threat as big as Astrogun's, it's just going to cause budget overruns" Arthur said, confirming the shirt collar and tie.

" Okay, you're right, but at least my insight could add up to the world of modern and futuristic weaponry,"

"May, please. don't forget to keep your mouth shut for anything that doesn't need to be revealed outside. And I'm sorry I can only accompany you around for a little while, because I have so much to do."

"Well, you are forgiven" said Adam Sinaga again with his style that is always bossy.

Arthur just melengos. He already understood and understood the behavior of Reyhan Sinaga's only son.

Adam Sinaga follows wherever Arthur's feet step with a variety of comments that sometimes make the heat of Arthur's ears. Sometimes he was amazed but more often he was amazed by all the sophistication in Astrogun.

"Arthur, I don't deny that all the technological sophistication is very helpful to human work. The AI technology I see here is really the real manifestation of all the expectations of most of humanity out there. But, I've heard of the theory of technological singularity, where a time when Artificial Intelligence will evolve beyond human intelligence, can change civilization and humanity," scowl Adam Sinaga while aligning his steps with Arthur's steps.

"The theory is only a hypothesis, not an empirical one" Arthur said briefly.

"The Creator creates his creation no better than himself. But as good as any human being as a creator regulates and controls his creation, there are bound to be system bugs that will occur. I think that if AI is constantly being improved without any restrictions, that's when it will have its own intelligence and reject all the commands or programs that we give it" Adam once said.

"Wow.., that's amazing," said Chen who walked behind the two cousins. Chen was used to seeing the two arguing and this time their topic was very interesting according to Chen.

"Is there anything else you want to say?My message is not to read too many sci-fi novels, or sci-fi movies. Expand to read the news of economic and market developments," Arthur quipped.

"Arthur, I was watching with jelly in your lab earlier, your AI is not only designed to comply with the program, but there is your AI designed to learn and adapt itself like a human, he said, that's grisly. I've read the news that Mark Zuckerberg stopped the functioning of two AI-based chat bots created by Facebook, because the two chatbots started talking to each other using a code language that only the two of them understood, the chatbots refused to use pre-programmed English. Arthur, I'm more inclined to Elon Musk if AI is dangerous" concluded Adam Sinaga seriously.

"That's why, if you concoct poison don't forget to concoct the antidote," said Arthur straightforwardly to close the debate with Adam Sinaga endless.

What a stingy human to speak, Chen Yuan raved in his head.

After Adam Sinaga's lengthy exposition, Arthur answered him with just a few words.

"Adam, come with Chen there's a present for you. Chen will take care of all your needs while here. I have to get to San Diego now," Arthur said.

"Out of course, what business? meet Heilen huh? Rachel told me her house was in San Diego, "take Adam's eye.

"I. yeah!" ketus Arthur's.

"After loving a woman I just realized, actually not a woman who enslaves us, but our own feelings," Adam back to play the word, this time Arthur really nauseous made.

"If you want to continue talking, it should be quite deep, just.Chen accompany him, I think you guys are compatible," concluded Arthur then passed from Adam and chen followed by Alexus and his bodyguards.

Amphibious Naval Base (NAB), Little Creek, Coronado, San Diego, California

Arthur's arrival to NAB is not just to visit Heilen and apologize, but there are also important things that he must talk to Admiral Spencer.

Admiral Spencer and several other top Navy Seals officials greeted Arthur warmly.

The arrival of Arthur and his team is so clear, of course, make a furore in NAB. NAB residents have often heard of Mr. G as CEO of Astrogun, but rarely have they seen him in person.

Arthur has decided to be open about his professional profile since the night NASA FUTURE PLANS left Heilen deeply disappointed in him.

The Sealsman and Sealswoman watched him intensely. While he walked with a flat face and did not care.

"Mr G, it's an honor for us to have you at NAB, we thank you for all of this" Admiral Spencer said.

"Three days from now. The fleet and personnel of Seals Team Five are ready."

"The good news. Oya Lakshmana I as supreme leader of Astrogun ask for permission to deploy our special fleet that will assist your team at Palmyra Atoll. In this case we will act as a backup team that will move if the seal team really needs help, does the admiral agree?"

"Our cooperation has been very long established, we trust you Mr. Yildiz. We accept your proposal with great pleasure of course and hope everything goes well" Admiral Spencer replied.

"You are indeed the best Admiral. We will not disappoint you. O yes, what about Seal Team Five Heilen Putri Munaf's medical personnel, can I visit him personally?" arthur continued, questioning his request to Admiral Spencer by phone this morning.

"Oh, wait for Dylan to call him, I've prepared a special room for you to talk in private as you ask" Admiral Spencer said.

"Excuse me, Honor Admiral.lapor, I've called Heilen Princess Munaf."

"How's it?" ask Admiral Spencer.

"He said he was still tired of arriving after his stint as one of the SEALS representatives to NASA FUTURE PLANS. He also said he didn't know Mr. G or Geon Arthur Yildiz, both names weren't his guests."

Oh, Sh*i*t!! arthur's mind is spontaneous.

"Hey, Mr. G. I know your story in Afghanistan. If your relationship is being tested, be patient, because patience is the most tender and lofty form of love. Maybe there are things that are bothering him, which is why men should be good at seducing.I see you are too busy and do not seem good at seducing, hehehhehe... Sori Mr. G," Admiral Spencer told Arthur and judged Arthur honestly.

"You're right, Laksmana. But how can I seduce him if he doesn't want to meet."

"Haha... Mr. Yildiz maybe you get along too much with tools, robots and AI. Seduce it not just by speech or crib. When women say they don't want anything, they're lying. You can give him something, a bunch of flowers maybe, or anything else he likes" Admiral Spencer continued to advise Arthur wisely.

I don't even know what his favorite thing is, he deserves to call me a dumb guy. Arthur cursed himself in his heart.

"Alright, Admiral, I'll find Heilen back at the right time" Arthur said.

Admiral Spencer escorts Arthur back to the luxury bus The Vantare Platinum Plus, which includes five-star hotel-style facilities. All are provided by Denzel who takes care of the Astrogun branch in California.

As Arthur walks down a corridor in the NAB building, he sees a familiar teenage figure with a young girl by his side.

Spontaneous Arthur stopped his steps, "Darren.

"Admiral, thank you for your welcome. Just get me here, I need to be with my little friend, " Arthur told Admiral Spencer.

"Hmmm, all right Mr. G. Hope all your business goes well. We will always be open for your visit at any time. And I'll try to talk to Heilen, because we're close enough." Admiral Spencer said.

"Thank you, Admiral, " said Arthur before Admiral Spencer left him.

Arthur now lives accompanied by Roboguard Alexus, Bend, and his team.

Meanwhile Darren is waiting for Heilen with Freya who does not want to be far from him.

Darren, who never met Heilen on the day Heilen left home, felt guilty and missed Heilen so he decided to visit Heilen at NAB.

Darren and Freya's attention is drawn to the visually stunning man walking alongside a roboguard and the tight security of his guards.

"The man is like papa, everywhere is always under escort. What a boring life, " complained Freya.

"But he looks Freya's cranes. Besides his guards, he was also escorted by a roboguard. It must have been very expensive, maybe two or three million US dollars" Darren responded.

"Papa also has a roboguard" concluded Freya.

Darren did not answer Freya because he began to realize that the man they were talking about was heading towards them.

"Freya, it looks like the man is coming at us, " whispered Darren.

"Hey, yeah! Do you know him?" ask Freya.

"Not at all, maybe he.., "darren's speech was interrupted because the proportionate tall man was now right standing before him.

"Ekhem.., Darren how are you?" arthur asks pretentiously close even though he only knows Darren through the eyes of Athena's camera roboguard who controls Heilen while trying to save Darren at Gerald Gremio's house.

"I'm fine, but how do you know my name?We just met for the first time" said Darren could not hide his surprise. He looked at the man in front of him. Very exclusive, charismatic and powerful according to him.

"Of course I know from Heilen, introduce me Mr. G or Geon Arthur Yildiz" said Arthur warmly as he extended his hand to Darren.

"Woww, I met a cool character! Not that you are the founder of ASTROGUN, the famous robotics and military armament company, Amazing! I'm Darren," Pekik Darren couldn't help but cheer her up.

"Meet me, I'm Freya Gremio. My father was also a great man, "Tukas Freya Gremio won't lose while extending his hand to Arthur.

Arthur smiled wryly at Freya Gremio's untimely maturity.

"Geon Arthur Yildiz" said Arthur as he welcomed the hand of Freya Gremio.

"Mr Astrogun, how do you know my brother Heilen? He is hard to find and hard to get along with. I'm afraid you're one of the victims because he often beat people haphazardly," Darren said still can't believe that Heilen can get acquainted with cool men.

Arthur held back his little laugh hearing Darren call him Lord Astrogun.

"She's my boyfriend, well more or less so, it's just that she's upset right now. Darren, can you tell me Heilen's favorite stuff?" ask Arthur frontal.

"Whooat??!! Girlfriend??" Netra Darren glared, the manic is spinning strangely.

"Why?"arthur said leisurely while sitting as he pleased beside Darren on the long iron chair where Darren and Freya were waiting for Heilen.

" Heilen never told me he had a cool new girlfriend, he must have kept it a secret,"

"Ssttt.., adults do not like publication and indulge in their relationship" said Arthur again.

Freya grinned annoyed at hearing that. He felt the man was insinuating him.

"Darren, listen. If you can cooperate well, I'll give you one of my favorite drones" Arthur said.

"Just calm down, I must be reliable," greeted Darren enthusiastically.

"Here keep my card, and send me your phone number later."

"Okay, soon," Darren's getting excited.

"I was planning to give a gift to Heilen, but I don't know his favorite item.You must know so tell me now," asked Arthur seriously.

"Come, come closer.., I tell you,"

Arthur brought his ear closer to Darren's face. Then Darren whispered something in Arthur's ear.

"Whooaat???!! " It was Arthur's turn to be surprised.
