The command center turned into a digital war space. The red light rotates reflecting the shadow of the analysts and cyber specialists who work actively on their console. The sound of the keyboard horn and a short report that was cut to fill the air. The main screen displays a world map with three red dots blinking Berlin, Singapore, Atlanta and Countdown large timer that continues to decrease: 23:42:15.
Luky stood in front of his main console, his eyes fixed on the fast moving data flow. "Sentinel Protocol Status!" The order, his voice cuts the activity of activity.
Ariawan, who stood beside him with a headset, answered, "Sentinel protocol is 100%active. All non-essential external connections are cut off. We are now fully operating on a personal satellite network. Active and ready offensive firewall."
"Cyber team, attack status!" Luky continued.
The sound of the cyber team head, Rendra, was heard through the speaker. "The Alpha team is ready in Berlin, Boss. The disinformation package is loaded. Waiting for the final order for injection. The Bravo and Charlie teams reported the same thing for Singapore and Atlanta. We have used the Haas access code to make credentials enter a high level. So far, there are no warning signs of their side."
"Don't wait too long. They can realize that Haas has been paralyzed at any time. Run the attack now!" Luky's command.
"Starting operations ... now!" Confirm Rendra.
On the main screen, three green lines lights up, each propagating from their bunker location to three target cities. A few minutes passed in tense silence, only a breathing sound and typing the keyboard.
"Enter the Berlin server ... not detected ... injecting a fake command package ..." reported an analyst.
"Singapore server receives a 'cancellation' package ... seems to work ..."
"Atlanta ... there is a slight resistance from their intrusion detection system ... Mempass ... finished! The 'Postponement' package is installed."
Rendra spoke again, this time in a relieved tone. "The attack is complete, the boss. The 'Gray Noise' virus has been injected into their log system. This will disrupt their forensic analysis. The main disinformation package has been active. Their core communication server is now broadcasting the message that the 'root' operation is postponed until the re -evaluation signed by ... Victor Haas."
Luky nodded, satisfied. "Good. Now, monitor every communication that comes out of the servers. I want to know if anyone does not believe or try to confirm."
He leaned his body on the chair, closing his eyes for a moment. The first battle was won, but the war was still long. "The system," he thought, called his neural interface. "Give me a comprehensive status report. Mission, prizes, wealth, and family security."
[The system confirms the request]

Luky opened his eyes, inhaling deeply. The report is a relief, for now. His wealth is mostly safe, and his family is protected. But the threat is real.
An analyst suddenly exclaimed, "Boss! We detect the increase in the great activity of the Atlanta server! Looks like they are aware of something!"
"What type of activity?" Luky asked, alert immediately.
"They run the emergency authentication protocol for all level 9 commands. They may be re -verifying the 'delay' command that we send."
"Can we block her or imitate authentication?" Luky asked.
"We tried, Boss," Rendra answered through the Comm. "But this is a very complicated system. If they run this protocol, it means that someone at a very high level is suspicious. We have time maybe 10, 15 minutes before they declare our commands invalid."
Luky thinks quickly. "Ariawan, prepare the extraction team. Use the data location of the council that we get from Haas. Targe the Gregor Ivanov first. He is the closest. Catch him before they have the opportunity to confirm their suspicion. We will disrupt them more than just a fake command."
"The extraction team will be ready in five minutes, boss," Ariawan confirmed, immediately turned around and gave orders.
"System," Luky thought. "Create a new mission: the arrest of Gregor Ivanov. Give me a parameter and an anticipated prize."
[New Mission Created: Arrest of Gregor Ivanov]
[Difficulty level: very high]
[Target Location: Private Villa, Black Forest, Germany]
[Parameter: Capture lives. Extraction without incidence. Don't leave a trail.]
[Anticipated prizes: Access to the Consortium Dark Financial Network + 15% share ownership in their biotek weapons.]
Luky is unemployed to himself. That's a big gift. "All teams, listen. The next phase starts now. We no longer survive. We are attacking. All operations are go. All cyber teams, maintain your position and give us every data byte that you can get. Field team, it's time to hunt."
He looked at the big screen, on the Countdown timer still running: 23:15:48. The race against time continues, but now, for the first time, Luky feels holding the initiative. Every step he takes is not only to protect what he has, but to permanently disarm his enemy's ability to ever threaten his family again. The fight has changed from defense to total offensive.
The Sanctuary Bunker Command Center operates on maximum efficiency. The bright white LED lights illuminated every corner of the room, reflecting the shadow of the analysts who sat tightly in front of their console. The dominant sound is a constant hum of a high -performance server and type a fast and regular keyboard. On the main screen, some data windows are displayed: World maps with three red -blinking icons indicate the consortium server, feed live from the Extraction Team body camera in Germany, and a large timer countdown that shows 22:41:05 to the 24 -hour deadline 'root destruction'.
Luky Pratama stood in front of his main control booth, his hands rested on a cold metal surface. His sharp eyes observed every change on the screen.
"The status of the extraction team," Luky ordered, his voice was flat and focused, addressed to Ariawan who was standing beside him.
"The Echo team on the way, Boss," Ariawan answered, also monitored a tablet. "The estimated time to arrive at the target villa: 15 minutes. Thick foggy weather conditions, low visibility. That benefits us. There is no unusual activity detected from the target villa."
"Maintain strict supervision. I want a real-time report if there is a slightest change in the pattern of guard," Luky said.
He then focused his mind, calling the hologram interface. "System. Give me a comprehensive status update for the mission of Gregor Ivanov's arrest. Analysis is also the current impact of operations on my wealth status."
[The system confirms the request]
[Analyze data ...]
[Status Report: Gregor Ivanov's Catching Mission]
[Difficulty level: very high]
[Mission status: In the process (approach phase)]
[The Assigned Team: Echo Team (8 elite personnel)]
[Field Conditions: Beneficial (Fog density: 87%, Visibility: <50 meters)]
[Estimated resistance: 6-8 personal guards in the villa, automatic perimeter security system]
[Team readiness: 100%. Equipped with non-Lethal weapons and electronic signal pressure.
[Gift Mission obtained:]
[Full Access to the Consortium Dark Financial Network ('The Vault'): Estimated Asset Value Accessed: IDR 120+ Billion.
15% share ownership in 'Prometheus Biotech': Biotechnology weapons company owned by the consortium. Market Value: IDR 45 billion. Share ownership provides voting rights and access to confidential research data.
10 years financial transaction data: Detailed notes of all illegal consortium funding flows. Can be used as a means of pressure on government entities and corporations.]
"Boss, reports from the cyber team," said an analyst from his console. "The re-authentication activity of the Atlanta server has subsided. They seem to receive our temporary delay order. However, we detect very encrypted data traffic between Atlanta and an unidentified location in Saudi Arabia. They are still careful."
"Continue to monitor. That means we still have time, but a little," said Luky. "Echo team, you hear that? Your time may be less than expected."
"Understandably, Boss," the voice of Captain Argus, the leader of the Echo team, was heard clearly through the COMM. "We accelerate the approach. Currently within a distance of 3 kilometers. Turning off the vehicle engine, continuing with electric power and stealth mode."
The main screen turned to the infrared view of the Echo team's vehicle. They moved slowly and quietly through a dark forest and shrouded in fog.
"System," Luky thought again. "Run the worst scenario simulation. What is the impact on wealth if this arrest mission fails?"
[Running the worst scenario simulation ...]
[Scenario: The mission of the arrest of the team failed was detected, Ivanov escaped or was killed.
[Direct Impact on Wealth:]
[The consortium will realize our cyber attack is a trick: the 'root' protocol will be fully activated.
Freezing of liquid assets will be permanent and expanded: Potential direct loss: Rp. 15-20 billion. The legal process to withdraw can take 5-10 years. Short market attacks will be intensive: Potential Investment Portfolio Value Losses: $ 10-15 billion in 48-72 hours. Risk of real assets increases: Possible confiscation of forced or sabotage. Insurance claims may be rejected with an alibi 'enemy action'.
Conclusion: Total wealth can shrink 20-25% in a short time. Recovery will require a very large time and resource.
Luky sighed deeply. The stakes are very high.
"The Echo team, entered the position," Argus reported in a whispering voice. "We have a visual on the villa. Two armed guards at the main entrance. One guard patrols on the east side. Thermal detects four body heat on the first floor, one body heat on the second floor - most likely targets."
"Penetration plan?" Luky asked.
"We will use a micro drone to inject their security system with a camera recording loop for 10 seconds. The Alpha team will neutralize the perimeter guards with sedative bullets immediately after the active loop. The Bravo team will enter through the utility tunnel behind that we identified from Blueprints. We head to the target on the second floor within 120 seconds after penetration."
"Approved. Run," said Luky.
The atmosphere at the command center became tense. All eyes are fixed on Argus's body camera feed. A small drone slid out, and a few seconds later, the feed of the villa security camera on the side screen frozen in the empty corridor image.
"Two FRONT guards Down," a calm voice reported.
"East side guard down."
"The Bravo team inside. Towards the main stairs."
Suddenly, a different alarm rang loudly in the center of the command, not from the Echo team feed.
"Boss! Anomaly from the Singapore server!" shouted a cyber analyst. "They send global orders! Not our orders! They cancel our delay command!"
"Confirmation!" Luky ordered, his heart was pounding.
"Confirmed! Singapore server has just sent the 'Full Authorization Destruction' command to all nodes! That means..."
"That means they know we deceive them," Luky interrupted. "Echo team! You have less than 60 seconds! They know!"
On the main screen, the body's camera feed swayed roughly as the Echo team moved quickly through the corridor. The sound of real shots was heard, replacing the previous silence.
"We are detected! Armed resistance!" Argus reported, his voice was tense but under control. "The Bravo team was involved in a shootout on the first floor! I continued to the second floor alone!"
Luky clenched his fist. "System! Analysis!"
[Warning! Gregor Ivanov's capture mission - The level of difficulty increases to 'critical']
[Possible Success: down from 78% to 35% and decreased ...]
[Wealth Status: Freezing of permanent liquid assets began by the Consortium Partner Institute. Real-time loss: Rp 1.5 billion and continues to grow ...]
"Argus, what is your status?" Luky asked via Aerpeace, his voice was loud.
"I am in front of the target room! Cutting one personal bodyguard! Enter ..."
Feed from Argus suddenly became a white static for one second which was worried, then returned to normal.
Argus paused for a moment, then said in a flat and empty voice, "Target ... has died, boss. Shoot in his head. Suicide. His body is still warm. Some warn him."
Gloomy silence enveloped the command center. Defeat.
Luky closed his eyes very briefly, then opened it again, filled with burning determination. "Echo team, retreat. Now. Take all the physical evidence that you can take. Laptops, cellphones, paper documents. Don't leave anyone! Ariawan, prepare an evacuation for them."
He turned his body to face the entire room. "Everyone, listen! Our offensive phase fails. Entering the total defense phase. Tightening the Sentinel Protocol to the Maximum Level. Cut all external connections, including our personal satellite network. We will be completely isolated. Explore all resources for cyber and physical defense. Priority one: Protect Family and Protect the Core of our Wealth.
He looked at the big screen. Countdown Timers are still running: 22:23:18. But now, it is a countdown to the start of the consortium full attack.
"System," Luky thought in a bitter tone. "Record the mission of Ivanov's arrest as a failure. Simulate and recommend the best defense strategy with the resources we have today."
[Mission Assessed: Failing]
[The prize is canceled]
[Allocating system resources for survival fashion ...]
[Strategy Recommendations: Consolidation. Protect the core asset. Maintain the perimeter. Minimize losses. Lasts until the storm passes. Revenge will come later.]
Luky Pratama stood tall, facing the harsh reality that his war had changed from offensive to a survival battle. His wealth shrank, his enemy was alert, and the target was lost. However, he hasn't lost. Not as long as he still has the system, his team is loyal, and his immersed determination. The fight is still far from finished.
