-STRANGENESS
At the police station, after receiving a report from his subordinate, there are several members along with employees of PT. Kepala Sawit Nusantara who went to the forest and have not returned until now. Rizki Natan (Police Inspector General) felt that something was amiss.
Rizki Natan: Andi (one of the members), you go to the forest to check the situation there. If you get any information, inform me immediately.
Andi: Yes, sir.
Andi immediately rode his motorcycle to the Wehea forest to inspect the situation there and upon arriving, there were already military personnel quarantining the forest.
Andi: Excuse me, sir. I'm from the police and I would like to ask why the Wehea forest is being quarantined and what the issue is.
Soldier: I also don't know much, as this comes from the higher-ups. So if there's no issue, please stay away from the forest.
Andi: I was sent by the Chief of Police to check on our members who entered the forest but have not returned for the past 2 days.
Soldier: Hmm... wait here a moment. Let me ask my superior.
Andi: Yes, sir. Thank you.
A few moments later.
Soldier: Please come in. Lieutenant Manuel wants to meet with you.
Andi: Yes, sir.
In Lieutenant's office, after the soldier left, Andi entered the lieutenant's office.
Manuel: How can I assist you, young officer?
Andi: I was sent by the Chief of Police to inspect the Wehea forest because some of our members went in but none have returned, along with employees of PT. Kepala Sawit Nusantara.
Manuel: Hmm... as of now, the Wehea forest has a virus issue, so no one is allowed to enter. As for the police members and employees of PT. Kepala Sawit Nusantara, we will inform the police once we have more information.
Andi: A virus? What kind of virus, can you explain?
manuel: For now, I can only provide this information. In the future, if there is more information, it will be shared.
andi: Yes, sir. I will immediately inform our police chief.
After leaving Lieutenant's office, andi quickly contacted rizki natan.
rizki natan: Hello. Is there any information about the virus and our members?
andi: Sir, the wehea forest has been quarantined by the military due to a virus in the forest.
rizki natan: A virus? What virus? Why hasn't there been any news about the military quarantine?
andi: For now, there is none. They said if there is any information in the future, it will be shared.
rizki natan: Okay. For now, you go back to the police station. I will personally contact the military superiors.
andi: Yes, sir.
Military Headquarters, at captain hasan's office after receiving a call from the police chief.
rizki natan: Hello.. I am Inspectul General rizki natan from the police chief.
captain hasan: Yes, sir. I am captain hasan from the Indonesian Army, how can I assist you?
rizki natan: I heard there is a quarantine in the wehea forest due to a virus. So, I would like to know some information from you?
captain hasan: Yes, for now we also have limited knowledge about this virus. For now, we know it is a parasite that can infect animals and make them aggressive and dangerous.
rizki natan: So, my members who entered the forest, do you have any information on them?
captain hasan: For now, we are hesitant to enter the wehea forest. We need a decision from General Sulaiman.
rizki natan: So, for now, you need our help from the police chief.
captain hasan: Thank you very much. We need help with the quarantine because the wehea forest is very large, and we are worried that our members will not be able to cover the entire area. So, we hope for police assistance as well.
-SECRET OPERATION
South of the Wehea forest, a group of mercenaries gathered. They were sent by PT. Nusantara Palm Oil to gather data and destroy a secret facility led by Captain Limin (a former military officer) with around 12 members.
Captain Limin: We are gathered here because there is a job to collect data in the Wehea forest and destroy the facilities inside. After receiving information about the military quarantine of the Wehea forest, I have expedited our operation so we must quickly enter. I will provide more information once we are inside.
All: yes, Captain.
Captain Limin: Good. Let's enter now.
-MAIN OPERATION
Military headquarters. After receiving news from superiors about Captain Hasan's special operation, he immediately gathered all members who were not in quarantine.
Captain Hasan: Today we will carry out a special operation in the Wehea forest to retrieve data from that secret facility and eliminate all infected animals. We will form 5 groups to carry out the operation. Each group consists of around 5 soldiers and 1 sergeant to lead the group. All groups are under the command of Lieutenant Muhammad Sani. This operation is very dangerous because there are infected animals inside, and we are unsure if the parasite can enter humans or not. So, once their heads are in place, their brains must be burned as soon as possible before the parasite exits their bodies using fire spraying weapons. Each group will be equipped with 1 fire spray weapon. While we do not know where the facility is, and using satellites did not reveal any buildings, it is highly likely that the facility is underground. You must be diligent in examining every area. I hope you all succeed in carrying out this operation. If you are in danger, I will send assistance as soon as possible.
everyone: yes, sir.
everyone immediately began preparing for this dangerous operation.
-PANAN TRIBE
in the eastern part of the Wehea forest, the military is once again implementing a quarantine to block off the road so no one can enter the forest. Suddenly, there was a sound from the forest, with all military members immediately on alert aiming their weapons towards the forest. The sound was getting closer and the sound of footsteps multiplied. Some members tried to stay calm while aiming, afraid that parasitic animals would run out of the forest. But after seeing who came out, it was indigenous people. One military member recognized them.
samsudin: Lower your weapons. They are from the Panan tribe. Why have they come out of the forest when they have never once left their birth forest? Herianto, you seem to be adept at their language?
herianto: Yes, I've studied it because my father and I often hunt in the forest.
samsudin: Okay, so go there and ask why they have come out. Find out the situation inside the forest. I will inform Captain Hasan about the issue here.
herianto: Okay. (runs to where the Panan tribe is)
samsudin immediately contacts Captain Hasan about the Panan tribe coming out of the forest and informs him that he will head there soon.
a few moments later, after Captain Hasan arrives.
Captain Hasan: Is there any information from the Panan tribe?
Herianto: Yes. His grandmother, the village chief, said that the forest is sick because of human greed causing environmental damage, and now nature is seeking revenge.
Captain Hasan: Hmm... Did you ask about the situation inside the forest?
Herianto: Yes, he mentioned that there are giant mosquitoes and many animals have become huge, making it very dangerous. There is also a field with many human bodies piled up.
Captain Hasan: Hmm.. more dangerous than I anticipated. Is there anything else?
Herianto: He mentioned that a few months ago, there was activity deep inside the forest.
Captain Hasan: Do they know the specific area where the activity is happening?
Herianto: They are unsure because it is considered very dangerous there.
Captain Hasan: Ok, prepare a place for them to stay. Find a secluded place because they are not immunized and we don't want to risk their lives. Make sure no outsiders join them.
Herianto: Understood, Captain.
Captain Hasan: Samsudin, inform Sergeant Muhammad Sani that there are changes in our operation. (For now, we need to inform superiors to add more soldiers for this operation.) Haiz...
Samsudin: Yes, sir.
