The Athena Code's
74.PARTNER in CRIME

The North Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is an ocean that has the highest depth intensity reaching 10,911 meters in the Mariana Trench. The average depth is 4,280 meters.

At a depth of a thousand meters more Astrogaltic advanced Submarines owned by Astrogun, with AI-based technology, speeding to split the depths of the ocean.

The Astrogaltic Submarine (Astrogaltic Submarine) was designed by world-renowned submarine experts from the Rubin Design Bureau in Russia on special orders from Arthur and Chen Yuan.

Where in the process of its assembly three years ago Arthur took part to inject various advanced features of weaponry and robotics technology from Astrogun. Precisely this is a kind of collaboration between Astrogun and Rubin Design Bureau, Russia before the world heated up because of the conflict that occurred in Ukraine.

Astrogaltic uses nuclear reactors for power sources as the main turbine player that drives the propeller and electric motor that produces the battery, so it can produce electricity for Astrogaltic use when exploring in the depths of the ocean.

As for the battery in Astrogaltic weighs twenty-five percent of the gross weight of Astrogaltic itself, because the function of the battery in the submarine is indeed as a ballast and power support. It is located on a submarine under the crew’s quarters and mess hall.

Crew’s quarters is where the crew live and the mess hall is a hall for eating and gathering together.

Crew’s quarters in Astrogaltic design is very luxurious for the convenience of the crew, especially Arthur and Chen who have dreams of touring in the depths of the sea with their loved ones someday.

Railgun and torpedo room also complement Astrogaltic for security and defense purposes. Beside the torpedo room there is a special robotic room where various robots and drones are placed, including the God of Beast which will be tested.

A railgun is a long-range weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. The railgun uses electromagnets to propel projectiles at speeds 7.5 times the speed of sound (equivalent to 9,100 kilometers per hour) with a cruising range of 200 kilometers. This weapon is cheaper and more accurate than traditional weapons that use gunpowder.

Railguns also do not require expensive warheads, because their destructive power relies on ejection speed.

Pilot Captain Tony Castaneda, accompanied by two copilots Kessy and Paul, drove the Astrogaltic masterfully from the control center (Control Center). They are very enthusiastic because the journey using Astrogaltic they do can be counted with fingers. From this Control Center various submarine-controlled functions.

The control center (Control Center) is located on the top floor slightly forward on the submarine and has two rooms inside that are sealed using super thick glass walls.

Captain Tony Castaneda is in the control room with his two assistants Kessy and Paul. In the second room Arthur, Chen Yuan, and Doctor Morgan are discussing Astrogaltic performance while conducting remote monitoring of images and videos delivered by drones they launched and controlled by operator Dennis.

The other twenty crews, consisting of robotic operators, drone operators, torpedoes and other functions, are in their compartments.

“Dennis, turn camera number two towards ten,” Arthur commands from a wireless communication device attached to his ear.

“Good.”

“Sudah”

"Yep, it looks like small islands. I want a completely empty island,"

"Wait a few more minutes, Mr. G,"

"OK."

"That's Mururoa Island, the google-disguised island!I think it's the most appropriate place for this test, '" said Chen.

"In Mururoa France, atomic bomb tests were twice as powerful as the atomic bombs of Hirosima and Nagasaki. It's a good place to test, but Mururoa is too far from Palmyra Atoll" said Dr. Morgan.

"Yes I think our destination is Bikini Atoll, an island that has been damaged by US trials and is not far from Palmyra Atoll. There is no life there, nothing we harm with the mini missile, the radiation will not go out of the island" said Arthur.

"Okay, I think I agree" Chen replied.

"I also agree," support Doctor Morgan.

"Dennis, bring back the X21, it's time he was replaced by another drone" Arthur ordered.

"Ready, sir,"

"With maximum speed we will arrive at Bikini Atoll soon, maybe about a day and a half," captain Tony Castanade said from his steering chair through an advanced wireless communication device attached to his pilot's helmet.

"I think it's pretty fast compared to the speed of regular submarines belonging to the American, Russian, Chinese, German and British militaries. Astrogaltic is still far superior in speed and performance" said Morgan.

"Yes, it's not free we pay dearly and also take pains to plan and assemble astrogaltic, " said Arthur proudly.

"Truely, it was really a grueling struggle, we went back and forth between America and Russia, away from our families, and added to the pressure from the Pentagon who suspected the Astrogun of playing with outsiders, they're not like a blind jealous girl."

"Huhahahhaha...!!"

Arthur, Chen and Doctor Morgan both laughed together in light of the past events.

" Oya Sorry Mr. G, I don't know what prompted you to activate the God Of Beasts? Are you prepared for the risks that might occur if the Pentagon finds out. Because I'm sure the Pentagon really wants all the weaponry models and extra features you've injected into the God Of Beast" Dr. Morgan added.

"The use of the God Of Beast fully authorizes Mr. G, if he uses it means he is prepared for the risk. If I have to burn fire together, I'll stick with him. We've been friends since childhood, it feels like enough of an excuse, "Chen showed his loyalty.

Arthur pointed his two thumbs at Chen.

"What you can do, it's a risk to be your best friend. Already wet have a friend who hoby do something at will, Huuh..!"

"You are the real partner in crime, Hahahhaha.", Kekeh Doctor Morgan did not want to bother with the recklessness of the two friends.

"What sanctions might the Pentagon impose on us?" Chen muttered somewhat fretfully.

"I'm sure the sanctions will only be directed at me. Wh why? Because it's all my responsibility. Maybe my research permit and all my scientific degrees will be revoked and then I will be actively banned from Astrogun's leadership and stewardship" Arthur replied casually.

"Whaaat? What can you do after that? Are you going to go home to your parents and leave everything behind?" doctor Morgan was surprised at the worst possible outcome. He could not have imagined Astrogun without Geon Arthur Yildiz.

"I will enjoy a relaxing day, maybe get married and live with my lover in a beautiful and peaceful farm and farm in Switzerland, then have cute children. Hmm.., the sanction is nothing compared to what I will live with Heilen," Arthur hayal with a happy twinkle in his sharp eye bead.

"Hoaah.., so I sacrificed to be left to have fun with her boyfriend, what kind of best friend is that!" fronted Chen.

"Huhhahaha..!!"

Arthur and Doctor Morgan compactly laugh at Chen's jealousy together.

"Isn't Heilen mad at you?" chen reminded Arthur.

"He can't be mad at me for too long, he'll melt when I touch him" Arthur replied, looking at Morgan's doctor, who was also looking at him.

Then..

"Hahaahaha.. "

Their laughter returned.

Oh apparently he is happy, it's worth talking today. Yesterday he went to look for Admiral Spencer at the Naval Amphibious Base, and he must have met Heilen. Chen monologue.

"Chen, find your own partner. Melinda Grays seems to have hidden feelings for you. I saw him clinging to you like an octopus," cried Doctor Morgan.

Netra Chen was round to hear the words of Doctor Morgan.

"Woman without expression?! She was beautiful but her face was ice cold. How can there be room in his heart for a man, his head contains only documents and work. All this time I've never heard of any rumors of him going out on a date, either" Chen said in disbelief.

Doctor Morgan gave a smile hearing Chen's words.

"Do you not know, he ever seduced Megabot incorporations with the lure of a much higher salary?When I asked him why he didn't budge, he said Chen needed me. So sweet..,"

Prok prok!

Arthur spontaneously applauds hearing Doctor Morgan's story.

"Hoaaaeeemm, I think I need to pamper my body for a while, "Chen yawned and wriggled pretending to be unable to withstand his sleepiness. For some reason, he suddenly felt caught off guard by the story of his loyal secretary, Melinda Grays.

Chen walked into his private room in Crew's quarters without waiting for the approval of Arthur and Doctor Morgan.

Arthur and Doctor Morgan looked at him with astonished looks. After Chen disappears Arthur continues his discussion with Doctor Morgan.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

A day and a half later.

Bikini atoll

Gradually Astrogaltic began to surface off the coast of Bikini Atoll. This place is one of the most remote places in the world, far from radar range.

Arthur and Chen have put on their Humanbot pilot Costume, preparing to enter the cockpit of the Giant robot warrior "God Of Beast".

They waited for Leslie to open the door to the robotic room.

" Are you ready?" ask Leslie, who plays a robotic room operator with Dennis and four other crew members.

"Yeah" replied Arthur and Chen at the same time, holding their thumbs up to the camera in front of the robotic room's door.

Leslie, who was in her compartment smiling, looked at them on the monitor.

"Ok, in three counts I'll open the door to the robotic room.

" three, two, one........."
