Reconnaissance at Headquarters

"Chapter 3: Reconnaissance at Headquarters"

Night had fallen and darkness enveloped the old factory on the outskirts of Jakarta. Satria stepped lightly, avoiding pebbles that could make noise, towards the slightly open back door of the factory. He knew that every step had to be cautious; the quiet sounds of the night could reveal his presence.

Once inside, the factory was eerily quiet. The once noisy machines were now reduced to the whirring of the wind and the dripping of water from the rusted ceiling. With a trained eye, Satria scanned every corner, making sure that she wasn't caught. Using minimal lighting, he found a place to hide his weapon behind a pile of old items.

In the corner of the room, there was a desk filled with documents and tools. Satria carefully opened the desk drawers and found several important documents. One of the documents showed a list of Consilium Virtutum members and their operational plan. The name "Ivanovich" appeared clearly, indicating someone who had an important role in this organization.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching. Satria quickly hid the documents under his jacket and searched for a hidden place behind a pile of goods. Two black uniformed guards with firearms patrolled the corridor. Satria waited until they moved away before he continued.

With quick but silent steps, Satria followed the guards to the control room. The room was filled with sophisticated equipment, with monitors displaying several areas of the factory. A control room operator was busy monitoring the screens. Satria approached him cautiously, then with quick movements, he tied up the operator using the rope he was carrying, making sure the operator could not scream or resist.

Once the operator was immobilized, Satria began manipulating the control system, turning off alarms and surveillance cameras. With the security system disabled, he continued his search towards a secret operations area within the factory. Behind the door leading to this area, Satria overheard two guards talking about their grand plan involving the delivery of illicit goods.

Satria knew it was time to act. He decided to take out the guards quickly and effectively. With his practiced Pencak Silat technique, Satria approached the first guard from an unexpected side. One quick punch to the guard's nape made him fall unconscious without making a sound. The second guard, surprised by his partner's sudden fall, tried to reach for his weapon.

However, Satria had already made his move. With a sharp and well-planned move, he used a low kick to send the second guard to the ground. Once the guard was down, Satria utilized Jiu-Jitsu techniques to break the guard's wrist. This move ensured that the guard could no longer fight back.

With both guards incapacitated, Satria proceeded to the storage area. There, he found various boxes containing illegal items and important documents. He examined the documents and collected the valuable evidence in his bag.

As Satria prepared to leave the premises, he heard sirens in the distance. He knew that time was approaching and the authorities might arrive soon. With quick steps, Satria exited the factory, leaving a minimal footprint and making sure nothing was left behind.

Stepping out of the alley that led out of town, Satria felt tired but satisfied. Tonight had provided important information that could help with the next mission. Although the journey was still long and full of challenges, every step taken brought him closer to the truth he had been seeking.
