Embassy of the State of Anjung Batu
Rosenworth Diplomatic Precinct

Anjung Batu is a country in the Melayu Archipelago that has had diplomatic relations with Hundredstar for a long time and the existence of their embassy in Bledllyn is a symbol of bilateral relations. However, Anjung Batu has some internal problems that are troubling and this includes the armed rebel movement that has been going on for over a decade. According to information obtained by the intelligence agency of Anjung Batu [Anjung Batu Intelligence Service, ABIS], there are a number of foreign elements that provide moral support and funds to rebel groups in the country and this includes logistics and intelligence support for armed cells based abroad. With the help of foreign elements, the Anjung Batu rebels known as Anjung Batu Armed Separatists [ABAS] planned to launch a militant operation against the Anjung Batu embassy in Bledllyn. It is believed that around six armed individuals planned to storm into the Anjung Batu embassy.

That morning, as usual, the Anjung Batu ambassador to Hundredstar, Dr. Ismail Ahmad Nawab arrived at the office just after 9 am, when four private armed guards were guarding the embassy while three others were in the control post at the entrance. Dr. Ismail, who is 60 years old, was a medical expert and also once served as President of Anjung Batu's personal physician before being appointed Anjung Batu ambassador to Hundredstar. His official car, the Riva Strata Diplomatic version slowly made its way to the embassy site and the guards at the entrance raised a salute to him. As usual, two of his bodyguards were in the vehicle beside the driver. Amin is a former member of Anjung Batu Police Special Force unit and Victor is a citizen of Hundredstar who was once an operative of the Hundredstar navy.

In the hands of Dr. Ismail, a confidential classified file came from the ABIS Station Chief in Bledllyn, which stated that there would be militant movements targeting their embassy in Bledllyn by the ABAS. Although personally, Dr. Ismail does not believe that ABAS is capable of doing so, it is unlikely that he will completely reject it.

The air was heavy with tension as Major Ghafar Rimau, Anjung Batu Armed Separatists (ABAS) Hundredstar Cell Leader, launched his campaign to capture the embassy. With a steely determination in his eyes, he led his troops forward, their footsteps echoing ominously on the pavement. The diplomatic compound loomed ahead like a fortress, but Major Rimau and his men were undaunted. They had planned meticulously for this moment, and they knew that success would be theirs. As they drew closer, alarms blared and lights flashed red in warning, but still they pressed forward, their weapons drawn and at the ready. It was a daring move that could change the course of history; one that would require skill, bravery, and sacrifice. But for Major Rimau and his fellow insurgents, there was no doubt: this was a fight worth having - no matter what the outcome might be. With their hearts set on freedom and justice, they charged forward, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The tension was palpable as Major Ghafar Rimau and his comrade made their way into the embassy. Every step felt like a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any moment. But they were determined to succeed in their mission, whatever the cost. And after what felt like an eternity of stealthily navigating through the halls and rooms of the building, they finally reached their destination. With surgical precision and lightning-fast reflexes, they overpowered the guards and secured the area. The embassy was theirs now, for better or worse. It was a moment that would go down in history as a daring feat of bravery; a testament to the unbreakable spirit of those who fight for what they believe in.

It was a scene straight out of a Hollywood action movie, but unfortunately, it was all too real. In a daring and audacious move, the ABAS forces had successfully managed to capture the embassy building, sending shock waves throughout the world. The operation had been executed with military precision, leaving no room for error or hesitation. However, there was one thing missing from this coup - the ambassador. Despite their best efforts and elaborate planning, they had failed to secure the most important hostage of them all. This oversight would prove to be disastrous in the coming days as negotiations stalled and tensions rose between both parties. It was clear that this incident would have far-reaching consequences, not just for those directly involved but also for international relations as a whole. The stakes were high, and time was running out - ABAS had everything to fight for and nothing left to lose.

As tensions rise between the embassy security and ABAS members, the ambassador finds himself in a precarious situation. Fearful for his safety, he barricades himself with his bodyguard in a secure location, waiting anxiously for any updates on the situation outside. The sound of gunfire echoes through the walls as they try to assess the extent of the danger that looms ahead. Every second feels like an eternity as they wait for rescue or news of when it would be safe to leave their refuge. It is a dramatic and harrowing experience, one which reinforces just how much is at stake in these dangerous times. The ambassador must remain alert, vigilant, and strategic if he wants to survive this escalating conflict unscathed. As time starts to run out, he knows that there may be no going back from what lies ahead – but he remains determined to see it through until the very end. "quickly contact the GOC (Global Operation Center, Anjung Batu Foreign Ministry)..." said Dr. Ismail Ahmad Nawab to Amin, his bodyguard

The morning at the CNN Bureau office in Hundredstar started off like any other typical workday. The employees arrived, greeted each other pleasantly, and settled down into their respective tasks for the day. However, unbeknownst to them, a storm was brewing just outside of their safe walls, a wave of events that would shake them to their core. It was as if the universe had decided that this particular day would be etched into history books forever. Little did they know that before long they would be caught up in a whirlwind of unpredictability and chaos, facing challenges beyond anything they ever could have imagined. The calm before the storm was deafeningly silent; everyone was oblivious to what awaited them on the horizon. In retrospect, it seems almost surreal how normal everything felt before Hundredstar became engulfed in an unforgiving wave of unforeseen circumstances - changing lives forevermore. Little did they know, the events that were about to unfold would test their strength, and resilience, and ultimately shape their destinies.

In the bustling CNN Hundredstar Bureau, the morning sun cast a warm glow on the bustling newsroom. Timo Fischer, the head of the bureau, gathered his team for their routine morning meeting. As they settled around the conference table, Timo began discussing the day's assignments and news agenda. As the meeting drew to a close, Timo thanked his team for their valuable input and encouraged them to pursue their respective tasks with dedication and accuracy.

As the gunfire rang out and chaos erupted, no one knew what to do except act on sheer instinct. The mission was simple - help the ambassador escape to the bubble site, on the way there, Victor shoot two terrorists and barricaded them in the bubble. But as each second ticked by, it became increasingly clear that this would be a life-or-death situation. The BG team (he and Amin) swiftly moved into action, with adrenaline pumping through their veins. Shots were fired in every direction, screams ringing out as terror gripped everyone present. Each carefully calculated move brought them closer to their goal - but with each passing moment came new obstacles and new challenges. With their hearts racing and minds focused on success, they pressed forward toward safety, leaving destruction in their wake as they worked tirelessly to achieve victory over forces that threatened innocent lives. Despite the chaos and danger, they refused to give up. They knew that failure was not an option, and they were willing to do whatever it took to protect those in harm's way. The Bubble equipped with a satellite phone, first aid supplies, and snacks are crucial for survival. In times of crisis, communication is key, and the satellite phone ensures that you can call for help when regular communication lines are down. With first aid supplies on board, you can treat injuries until proper medical attention arrives. And let's not forget about the importance of sustenance during emergencies – having snacks on hand provides energy and boosts morale in stressful situations. Plus, with backup DC power in case of electricity cuts, there's no need to worry about being left in the dark or without heat. Victor's reverie is interrupted when the ambassador shouts for him to call the GOC 1,900 km away...

[Chandelier Group]

Ahmed Kabir: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another episode of "The Telescopes." Today, we find ourselves grappling with a distressing incident that unfolded earlier today. I'm joined by Dr. Will Fritzhouse, a distinguished terrorism analyst and researcher from Orchard Road University in Royalgates, Chandelier Group. Dr. Fritzhouse, thank you for being here with us today.

Dr. Will Fritzhouse: Thank you, Ahmed. It's a pleasure to be here and shed light on this unfortunate event.

Ahmed Kabir: Indeed, today's incident at the Anjung Batu Embassy in Hundredstar has left the world in shock. Dr. Fritzhouse, based on the information we have, what can you tell us about the organization responsible for this attack, the Anjung Batu Armed Separatists or ABAS?

Dr. Will Fritzhouse: ABAS is a known armed separatist group that has been active in the region for some time now. They have previously carried out attacks with the aim of gaining autonomy or independence for the Anjung Batu region. The fact that they have claimed responsibility for this incident aligns with their previous objectives and actions.

Ahmed Kabir: The demand made by ABAS for the release of ten operatives currently held in the Anjung Batu Maximum Security Prison is quite significant. What can you tell us about the significance of these individuals to the ABAS organization?

Dr. Will Fritzhouse: The release of these operatives seems to be a critical demand for ABAS, indicating their importance within the organization. It is possible that they hold strategic knowledge or possess a level of influence that ABAS considers crucial for their cause. However, we must await further details and confirmation on the identities and backgrounds of these operatives.

Ahmed Kabir: The fate of Ambassador Anjung Batu and his staff remains unknown at this time. What challenges do you foresee in establishing communication and ensuring the safety of those inside the embassy?

Dr. Will Fritzhouse: Establishing communication with the individuals inside the embassy can be extremely challenging in such situations. The armed separatists may have control over the communication lines, making it difficult for the authorities to establish direct contact. Additionally, the safety of those inside the embassy becomes a paramount concern, and any potential rescue operation must be meticulously planned to minimize risks and ensure a successful outcome.

Ahmed Kabir: We understand that the Anjung Batu government has not yet issued an official response. What factors might contribute to their delay in responding to this crisis?

Dr. Will Fritzhouse: The Anjung Batu government is likely assessing the situation and gathering accurate information before formulating an official response. They need to consider the potential implications of their actions and ensure that their response aligns with their overall strategy and diplomatic considerations. It is crucial for them to balance the immediate demands of the crisis with the long-term stability and security of the region.

Ahmed Kabir: Thank you, Dr. Fritzhouse, for your insights into this complex and evolving situation. We will continue to monitor the developments closely and provide updates as they become available. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragic incident.

Dr. Will Fritzhouse: Thank you, Ahmed. Let us hope for a swift resolution to this crisis and the safe return of everyone involved.

Ahmed Kabir: Indeed. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the fault lines of this conflict and shed light on the broader global implications. This has been "The Telescopes" on CNN, reporting on the Anjung Batu Embassy incident in Hundredstar.

The conference room buzzed with anticipation as reporters from various media outlets gathered, their cameras poised and notepads ready. Foreign Minister Darin Sariwa, a seasoned diplomat known for his eloquence and unwavering principles, stood at the podium, prepared to address the public on behalf of the Hintuwani government. The recent developments in Anjung Batu had weighed heavily on his mind, and he felt a deep sense of responsibility to denounce not only the oppressive military regime but also the foreign support it had received, particularly from Hundredstar.

Darin Sariwa, with his distinguished silver hair and piercing eyes, exuded an air of confidence mixed with compassion. He had dedicated his life to diplomacy, striving to create a world where justice and human rights were upheld, even in the face of adversity. The turmoil in Anjung Batu struck a chord within him, reminding him of the struggles his own country had faced in its fight for independence and freedom.

As he approached the podium, he took a deep breath, his voice steady and commanding. He began his speech, his words carrying the weight of his conviction and the unwavering support of the Hintuwani government behind him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the press, today I stand before you not only as the Foreign Minister of Hintuwan but also as a passionate advocate for justice and human dignity. The situation in Anjung Batu has reached a critical juncture, and it is incumbent upon us, as members of the international community, to lend our voices to the call for change and accountability."

Darin Sariwa's voice resonated through the room as he delved into the history of Anjung Batu, the struggles its people had endured, and the oppressive nature of the military regime. He spoke of the rights that had been trampled upon, the voices silenced, and the longing for freedom that burned within the hearts of the Anjung Batu citizens.

"But let us not forget the role that foreign elements have played in prolonging the suffering of the Anjung Batu people. Hundredstar, a country with which we have long maintained diplomatic relations, has provided moral support, funds, and even logistics to the oppressive regime. This support has only served to exacerbate the plight of the Anjung Batu citizens, further entrenching the regime's grip on power."

As Darin Sariwa continued his impassioned speech, his condemnation of Hundredstar became more explicit. He highlighted the moral dilemma of a country that claimed to uphold justice and democracy while supporting a regime that trampled upon the very principles they professed.

"We condemn the actions of Hundredstar in supporting the Anjung Batu regime. We call upon them to reassess their alliances and to stand on the side of justice and human rights. The people of Anjung Batu deserve better, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that they are not abandoned in their struggle for freedom."

Darin paused to look around the room. The blinding camera flashes of anxious photographers strobed at him intermittently.

"Today, I speak on behalf of the Hintuwani government which stands in solidarity with the people of Anjung Batu, whose voices have been suppressed for far too long. We understand the frustrations that have driven some to take up arms in their pursuit of freedom. While we cannot condone the capture of the Hundredstar embassy, we sympathize with the underlying cause that has led to such drastic measures. It is our hope that a peaceful resolution can be achieved, one that respects the rights and aspirations of the Anjung Batu people."

As the press conference came to a close, Darin Sariwa's determination and resolve remained palpable. He knew that the road ahead would be challenging, that the fight for justice in Anjung Batu would require collective effort and unwavering commitment. But he also knew that change was possible, that the power of diplomacy and international solidarity could bring about a better future for the people of Anjung Batu.

Darin Sariwa stepped away from the podium, his mind already racing with plans and strategies to mobilize support for the cause. He would not rest until the voices of the oppressed were heard, until the military regime in Anjung Batu and its foreign enablers were held accountable, and until the people of that country could reclaim their right to freedom and dignity.

Anjung Batu Embassy Siege: Hundredstar Police Lead Operation as Anjungan Government Stands Firm

In a shocking turn of events, the Anjung Batu Embassy in Hundredstar has become the target of a terrorist attack led by Ghafar Rimau, a former Anjung Batu army officer. The terrorists believed to be members of the Anjung Batu Armed Separatists (ABAS), stormed the embassy demanding the release of imprisoned ABAS members. The situation remains tense as Hundredstar Police and its Terrorist Affair Department alongside the Bledllyn-base Diplomatic Global Protection Directorate (which belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) work diligently to resolve the crisis. The Anjungan government has responded to the demands of the terrorists by categorically refusing to meet their demands. In a display of resilience, they have stood firm in their commitment to uphold the rule of law and not negotiate with terrorists. This strong stance emphasizes the government's determination to protect the sovereignty of the nation and maintain public safety. During the course of the siege, the terrorists released a small number of hostages, including children and pregnant women, as a gesture of goodwill. However, the fate of the remaining hostages, including the Anjung Batu ambassador and his staff, remains uncertain.

In response to the escalating situation, Hundredstar Police have taken charge of all on-site operations. Their expert Special Ops Team has been deployed to handle the crisis, ensuring the safety of civilians and working towards a peaceful resolution. Additionally, a delegation from the Anjungan government, led by its Deputy Foreign Minister, has arrived in Bledllyn to address the situation and provide support to their embassy staff. To facilitate effective coordination, Hundredstar Police have established a Forward Ops Center in the nearby Gladinton Hotel, the element from Special Task Force Hundredstar, from Hundredstar Armed Forces have also been seen there. This strategic location allows for swift decision-making and a centralized command structure, enhancing their response capabilities. Rumors have circulated suggesting that the Anjung Batu ambassador managed to escape the embassy with the assistance of his loyal bodyguard. While unverified, this development highlights the dedication of those involved in ensuring the safety of the embassy staff.

Meanwhile, Hundredstar's Foreign Minister, Ian Stromguards, has condemned a recent press conference held by Hintuwan's Foreign Minister, Darin Sariwa. Stromguards deemed the press conference unnecessary and believes it has only served to worsen the situation. In response, a protest note will be sent to the Hintuwan government, expressing Hundredstar's concerns about their actions during this critical time. It is important to note that Hundredstar has long maintained a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. As the situation unfolds, the focus remains on restoring peace and security while upholding diplomatic principles.

Agent Marcus Rios, a seasoned spy for the Hintuwani intelligence agency, embarked on a covert mission to Bledllyn, the capital of Hundredstar. With a forged identity and a keen eye for detail, he seamlessly blended into the bustling crowd of Hintuwanis travelling to Hundredstar for more benign reasons. Marcus was just another businessman, or vacationer, or travel blogger moving to a colder climate to get out of the tropical sun and nobody else seemed to care much.

As Marcus made his way through the airport, he observed the heightened security measures, reflecting the tense atmosphere caused by the ongoing siege at the Anjung Batu Embassy. Armed guards were stationed at every corner, their stern expressions a testament to the gravity of the situation. The airport itself was adorned with vibrant banners promoting Hundredstar's cultural heritage, creating a stark contrast to the prevailing unease.

Exiting the airport, Marcus hailed a taxi, instructing the driver to take him to the prestigious AirRest Bledllyn International, where he would establish his base of operations. Along the way, he couldn't help but notice the subdued mood on the streets of Bledllyn. People walked hurriedly, their eyes clouded with worry and uncertainty. Shops and cafes, once bustling with activity, now seemed devoid of their usual liveliness.

Upon reaching the hotel, Marcus checked into his room, a luxurious suite overlooking the city's skyline. He appreciated the elegant furnishings, the plush carpet under his feet, and the panoramic view of Bledllyn's iconic landmarks. However, his mind was focused on the mission at hand.

As he settled in, he switched on the television to catch the latest news updates. The media was abuzz with coverage of the embassy siege, with reporters analyzing the implications and speculating on the possible outcomes. Images of the cordoned-off area and the worried faces of the local residents flickered across the screen.

Marcus couldn't help but observe the mixed emotions etched on the faces of the Hundredstar public as they were interviewed on the streets. Some expressed concern for the safety of the embassy staff, while others voiced frustration at the escalating tensions between their country and Anjung Batu. A sense of unease permeated the air, casting a somber shadow over the city.

With a deep sigh, Marcus pondered the complex web of political intrigue and international relations that had led to this point. He understood that his mission went beyond gathering information; it was about unraveling the truth and ensuring the safety of innocents caught in the crossfire.

Drawing the curtains, Marcus glanced at the city skyline once again, its twinkling lights a stark contrast to the uncertainty that gripped Hundredstar. He knew that in the days to come, he would navigate through shadows, gather intelligence, and make difficult choices. But amidst it all, he remained committed to his mission, hoping to restore stability and peace to a nation teetering on the edge.

With a steely resolve, Agent Marcus Rios prepared to step into the intricate dance of espionage, his mind focused on the task at hand. The fate of the embassy siege and the delicate balance between nations hung in the balance, and Marcus was determined to play his part, silently weaving through the fabric of this perilous game.

EYES ONLY - For the Commonwealth President

Dear President Bulalacao,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As I sit here in my hotel room in Bledllyn, I feel compelled to share my thoughts and observations on the current situation that has befallen this nation. The events unfolding in the wake of the embassy siege have shed light on the fragility of our world and the intricate dynamics that govern international relations.

Firstly, I must commend the intelligence gathered by our agency prior to my departure. The information we received regarding the foreign elements supporting the Anjung Batu regime has proven to be accurate. The sudden influx of funds and the meticulous planning behind this operation clearly indicate a well-coordinated effort to destabilize the region.

As I navigate through the streets of Bledllyn, it is impossible to ignore the palpable tension that hangs in the air. The public is wary, their expressions burdened with concern and uncertainty. The siege has cast a shadow over the daily lives of the Hundredstar people, disrupting their routines and sowing seeds of doubt and fear. It is a somber reminder that the actions of a few can profoundly impact the lives of many.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, I also perceive a flicker of resilience and determination within the Hundredstar populace. In their eyes, I see a glimmer of hope, a desire for justice and peace. The support they extend to those affected by the siege is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for empathy and unity in times of crisis.

President Bulalacao, I believe it is crucial for us to maintain a delicate balance in our response to this situation. While we must condemn the actions of the Anjung Batu Armed Separatists and their foreign supporters, we must also recognize the underlying grievances that have fueled this conflict. The aspirations for self-determination, social justice, and equality cannot be dismissed outright. We must strive to address the root causes, seeking a path of reconciliation and understanding.

In light of these circumstances, I propose the following recommendations for our foreign policy stance and actions:

• Strengthen Diplomatic Channels: Initiate high-level diplomatic discussions with Hundredstar, emphasizing our commitment to peaceful resolutions and expressing our concern for the safety of all parties involved. Offer our assistance in facilitating dialogue and mediation between the Anjung Batu government and the Armed Separatists, encouraging a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
• Humanitarian Aid: Extend our support to the Hundredstar government in providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by the siege. This gesture will not only alleviate the suffering of the people but also foster goodwill and demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of the Hundredstar nation.
• Multilateral Engagement: Engage with international organizations and regional partners to seek their support and cooperation in addressing the root causes of the conflict in Anjung Batu. By fostering multilateral efforts, we can collectively work towards stability and peace in the region.
• Economic Cooperation: Strengthen economic ties with Hundredstar by exploring opportunities for trade and investment. By promoting economic cooperation, we can create mutually beneficial relationships and provide incentives for stability and prosperity in the region.
• Intelligence Sharing: Enhance intelligence cooperation with our allies to gather more comprehensive information on the foreign elements supporting the Anjung Batu regime. Sharing vital intelligence will not only aid in countering their activities but also deepen our alliances and bolster our regional influence.

President Bulalacao, I assure you of my unwavering commitment to these recommendations. I believe that by adopting a balanced and proactive approach, we can navigate through this crisis and emerge as a beacon of stability, justice, and peace in the region.

Yours faithfully,

Agent Marcus Rios

Inside the grand meeting room of Chalet Rojo, the Hintuwani presidential palace, the atmosphere was tense as the ministers of President Henry Theodore Bulalacao's cabinet gathered to discuss the recent controversy surrounding the Hintuwani government's pstensible support for ABAS and the Hundredstar government's lodging of an official complaint. The room echoed with passionate arguments and differing opinions.

President Bulalacao sat at the head of the table, observing the heated discussion among his cabinet members. Atty. Tapakgan Cagaluyong, the Presidential Spokesperson, was the first to voice his concern.

"Mr. President, I must express my deep reservations about our support for ABAS. It sends the wrong message to the international community. We risk tarnishing our reputation and endangering our relations with other nations."

Cabinet Secretary Guillermo Zataza interjected, his voice firm and resolute. "Respectfully, Atty. Cagaluyong, our support for ABAS is a strategic move. We must seize this opportunity to establish ourselves as a regional player, capable of shaping events in our favor. Our foreign policy goals demand action, and supporting ABAS aligns with our long-term interests."

Minister of Foreign Affairs Darin Sariwa, who had been at the center of the controversy, joined the discussion. "The ABAS insurgency is a complex issue, and our support for them is not without justification. We have an opportunity to address the root causes of their grievances and play a role in bringing about lasting peace. We must engage diplomatically and use our influence to find a resolution."

General Parasaligan Daclan, the Minister of Defense, countered with a military perspective. "Mr. President, while I understand the need for diplomacy, we cannot ignore the fact that ABAS poses a significant threat to our national security. We must prioritize the safety of our citizens and take strong action against these rebels. Supporting ABAS could be seen as condoning their violent actions and given the fact that we face our own insurgency with the communists at home, our support might only fuel further violence within our own country."

Vice President Payakareik Batrieng, also serving as the Minister of the Interior, chimed in. "I concur with General Daclan. Our primary responsibility is the safety and well-being of our people. Supporting ABAS sends a conflicting message and could potentially inspire other armed groups to take similar actions."

Minister of National Intelligence Sibu Cabungcal presented a sobering assessment. "The intelligence reports suggest that ABAS has received foreign support. We need to carefully consider the implications of aligning ourselves with a group that has external connections. It could lead to unintended consequences, such as strained relations with other nations or an escalation of violence."

President Bulalacao listened attentively to his ministers, considering the weight of their arguments. After a thoughtful pause, he addressed the room, his tone measured yet decisive.

"Thank you all for your valuable insights. I understand the complexity of the situation and the divergent opinions we have expressed here today. It is clear that we must strike a delicate balance between our foreign policy objectives, national security, and the well-being of our people. I will carefully evaluate all the arguments made and make an informed decision that serves the best interests of our nation and its future."

With his words, the room fell silent, each minister contemplating the gravity of the situation and the weight of their responsibilities. The discussion had shed light on the complexities of supporting ABAS, and it was now up to President Bulalacao to navigate the challenging path ahead.

Inside the Anjungan Embassy, the tension was palpable. Ghafar Rimau, a former Anjung Batu army officer and the mastermind behind the attack commanded the operation from within. Alongside him stood his trusted right-hand man, Jamal Badak, a former trooper from the renowned Anjungan Commando unit. Accompanying them were Hashim Beruang, Isa Lotong, Ali Tupai, Mahmud Gajah, and Leman Gagak, a team of dedicated individuals ready to carry out their leader's instructions. As the embassy staff anxiously gathered in the Conference Room (room #113), they could feel the weight of the situation hanging heavily in the air. Ghafar Rimau had successfully detained Kahar Ismail, the ABIS Station Chief in Bledllyn, and the deputy ambassador in room #102, further asserting his control over the embassy. Meanwhile, Ali Tupai and Mahmud Gajah were assigned the task of opening the iron door that fenced the Bubble site, located in the corridor near room #116. It was rumored that the ambassador might be hiding in the Bubble site, and their mission was to confirm this information.

Jamal Badak, known for his keen investigative skills, ventured into room #110, which housed the ABIS office and held many classified documents. His objective was to search for valuable information that could aid Ghafar Rimau's cause. Ghafar Rimau, calculating and strategic, issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Anjungan government. He demanded the immediate release of ABAS members, including the deputy leader, Haji Yahya Hitam. If his demands were not met within the given timeframe, he threatened to start executing prisoners one by one. In an unexpected move, Ghafar Rimau ordered the release of children and pregnant women. Their freedom came at a price, however, as food and electricity were exchanged for their safe release. This act aimed to demonstrate Ghafar Rimau's willingness to negotiate while maintaining an atmosphere of control and power within the embassy.

As the electricity supply flickered on, providing a semblance of normalcy, the absence of water served as a constant reminder of the tense situation. The captives and embassy staff endured the hardships of their confined space, uncertain of what lay ahead. Inside the Anjungan Embassy, time ticked away, and the fate of those held captive hung in the balance. Ghafar Rimau and his team remained vigilant, ready to take whatever action necessary to achieve their objectives. The world watched anxiously as the standoff continued, hoping for a peaceful resolution while fearing the worst.

Ghafar Rimau: (threateningly) Kahar, I know you have access to the safe. Give me the combination number now, and I promise no harm will come to you or your colleagues.

Kahar Ismail: (firmly) Ghafar, I cannot comply with your demands. The contents of the safe are classified and cannot be accessed by unauthorized individuals.

Ghafar Rimau: (angrily) Don't test my patience, Kahar! I have ways of making you talk. You know what I am capable of.

Kahar Ismail: (steadfast) I will not betray my duty and compromise the security of sensitive information. You are mistaken if you think I will yield to your threats.

Ghafar Rimau: (menacingly) Kahar, you underestimate the lengths I am willing to go to achieve my goals. Think about the consequences for your colleagues if you refuse to cooperate.

Kahar Ismail: (calmly) My duty is to protect the interests of the Anjungan government and the safety of its citizens. I will not betray those principles, no matter the circumstances.

Ghafar Rimau: (frustrated) You leave me no choice, Kahar. I will find a way to obtain the combination, with or without your cooperation. But remember, the consequences will be severe.

Kahar Ismail: (resolute) You may try, Ghafar, but you will not succeed. The Anjungan government and its allies will not stand idle while you carry out these acts of aggression. Our resilience will prevail.

The dialogue ends with an unspoken understanding that both Ghafar Rimau and Kahar Ismail are prepared to face the consequences of their actions. The standoff continues, and the outcome hangs in the balance as tensions escalate within the confines of the embassy.

The tension was palpable as the Special Media Conference commenced at Rosemary Hall, Gladinton Hotel. Reporters from various news outlets gathered, eager to hear the latest updates on the hostage incident at the Anjung Batu Embassy. The distinguished panel of attendees included Inspector General of Police Stuart Romancourts from Hundredstar Police, Deputy Foreign Minister Andalas Farman of Anjung Batu, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Benjamin Falconbridge of Hundredstar, and Dr. Simon Harphursts, the Ministerial Secretary General of the Hundredstar Ministry of Defense.

The room fell silent as reporters began to fire questions at Inspector General Romancourts. In response, he confirmed that Hundredstar Police would be leading all operations aimed at freeing the prisoners and apprehending the terrorists who had invaded the Anjung Batu Embassy. He disclosed that Special Team 612, from the Terrorist Affair Department and the Urgent Response Team (URT) of Bledllyn City Police, would be at the forefront of this critical operation. To bolster their efforts, the Hundredstar Police received technical and tactical assistance from the esteemed STF-Hundredstar, Hundredstar Intelligence Authority, and their counterparts from Anjung Batu. The collaboration between these agencies highlighted the importance of international cooperation in combating such threats. Amidst the reporters' inquiries, Inspector General Romancourts denied rumors suggesting that the ambassador had managed to escape. He emphasized that the situation was being handled with the utmost seriousness and professionalism, leaving no room for speculation. When asked about the presence of the terrorist group in Hundredstar, Inspector General Romancourts firmly stated that the terrorists had only been detected entering the country two days ago, posing as individual tourists rather than arriving in organized groups. He assured the public that the police were thoroughly investigating how the terrorists had procured their arsenal of weapons. No such thing of ABAS Hundredstar Cell he tells the reporters

Deputy Foreign Minister Andalas Farman of Anjung Batu confirmed that there was no intention to entertain the demands of the ABAS terrorists detained in Anjung Batu Prison. This resolute stance demonstrated the Anjungan government's commitment to upholding the rule of law. Inspector General Romancourts shared a glimmer of hope by confirming the release of several hostages, particularly children and pregnant women. However, he expressed concern about the well-being of some Hundredstar citizens who were on duty at the embassy and had been captured. In response to questions about casualties, Inspector General Romancourts denied any reports of prisoners being killed. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that communication had been lost with some of the detained individuals, causing additional anxiety and urgency in their efforts to resolve the situation.

During the conference, tensions escalated when a reporter from a Hintuwan TV station asked politically-oriented questions. Inspector General Romancourts swiftly reprimanded the journalist, reminding them that this was not the appropriate time for such inquiries. The reporter was escorted out, highlighting the seriousness and focus required in this critical moment. As the conference concluded, the attendees departed with a renewed determination to bring about a swift and peaceful resolution to the hostage incident. The Xavier Sat-TV team will continue to provide updates on this unfolding crisis, ensuring the public remains informed during these challenging times.

Segment : Global Post episode 27

Dr. Megan Powers: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Global Post, where we delve into the inner workings of power and influence on the global stage. Today, we have a thought-provoking topic to discuss: the foreign policy stance of Hintuwan regarding the situation in Anjung Batu. Joining me is Dr. Patricia Adams, a distinguished professor of Foreign Studies at Closedale University. Welcome, Dr. Adams.

Dr. Patricia Adams: Thank you, Dr. Powers. It's a pleasure to be here.

Dr. Megan Powers: Let's begin by analyzing the strong statements made by the Hintuwani Foreign Minister, expressing concern over the situation in Anjung Batu and the role foreign elements have played. What are your thoughts on this?

Dr. Patricia Adams: The Foreign Minister's remarks shed light on the complex dynamics at play in Anjung Batu. It is evident that the Hintuwani government recognizes the need for change and justice in the country. By emphasizing the involvement of Hundredstar in supporting the oppressive regime, they highlight the significance of international alliances and their impact on the Anjung Batu people's plight.

Dr. Megan Powers: Indeed, the call for Hundredstar to reassess its alliances and stand on the side of justice is a powerful message. How do you perceive this approach in terms of influencing global opinion and potential diplomatic outcomes?

Dr. Patricia Adams: The Hintuwani government's condemnation of Hundredstar's actions aims to generate global attention and solidarity with the people of Anjung Batu. By addressing the international community and emphasizing the shared responsibility to protect human rights, they hope to influence public opinion and prompt diplomatic efforts toward a peaceful resolution. It is a calculated move to exert pressure on Hundredstar and foster international support for the cause of freedom in Anjung Batu.

Dr. Megan Powers: The Foreign Minister also acknowledged the frustrations that have driven some to resort to extreme measures, while emphasizing the importance of a peaceful resolution. How do you interpret this balancing act between condemning the capture of the Hundredstar embassy and understanding the underlying motivations?

Dr. Patricia Adams: It is a delicate balance that the Hintuwani government aims to strike. While they cannot condone the capture of the embassy, they demonstrate empathy toward the grievances of the Anjung Batu people. By expressing understanding, they signal their recognition of the underlying causes and the need for a peaceful solution that respects the rights and aspirations of the Anjung Batu citizens. It showcases an approach that seeks to bridge divisions and encourage dialogue, even in the face of challenging circumstances.

Dr. Megan Powers: With the hostage incident at the Anjung Batu Embassy, is the current situation suitable for raising this polemic?

Dr. Adams: Thank you for that question, Dr. Powers. The hostage incident at the Anjung Batu Embassy certainly adds a layer of complexity to the situation. It raises concerns about the safety of the individuals involved and the potential escalation of tensions. In such circumstances, it is crucial to prioritize the immediate resolution of the hostage situation and the well-being of those affected. However, it's important to note that the remarks made by the Hintuwani Foreign Minister were not in direct support of the hostage incident but rather focused on the underlying causes that have led to such drastic measures. While the timing may not be ideal, it is essential to address the root issues and pursue a peaceful resolution. The international community should continue to engage diplomatically, work towards de-escalation, and ensure the safety and well-being of all parties involved. It is through dialogue and a concerted effort to address grievances that we can strive for a just and lasting resolution in Anjung Batu.

Dr. Megan Powers: Foreign Minister Hundredstar has explained that his country's policy is not to meddle in the internal affairs of a country, is this policy what caused ABAS to choose Bledllyn as their attack site, according to records, there has not yet been an incident involving ABAS outside Anjung Batu?

Dr. Adams: Brilliant for raising this point, Dr. Powers. It is worth considering the foreign policy stance of Hundredstar, which emphasizes non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. While this policy may have influenced ABAS's choice of Bledllyn as their attack site, it is important to note that the motivations behind such actions are multifaceted. The lack of previous incidents involving ABAS outside of Anjung Batu may indicate that their primary focus has been on addressing the internal grievances within their own country. However, it is also possible that the choice of Bledllyn as an attack site was influenced by factors beyond Hundredstar's non-interference policy, such as strategic considerations, symbolism, or the presence of certain targets in that location. Understanding the complex dynamics at play requires a comprehensive analysis of the specific circumstances, including the historical context, political environment, and underlying motivations of the ABAS group. It would be premature to attribute the attack solely to the foreign policy of Hundredstar without a more detailed examination of the factors involved. Nevertheless, the assertion of non-interference in internal affairs by Hundredstar does have implications for the international response to the situation. It highlights the importance of diplomatic efforts and a nuanced approach to addressing the root causes of conflicts, while also ensuring respect for sovereignty and the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of nations.

Dr. Megan Powers: Thank you, Dr. Adams, for your insightful analysis. The situation in Anjung Batu continues to evolve, and it remains to be seen how these diplomatic efforts will unfold. As the global community, we must closely monitor the developments and consider the role of foreign policy in shaping a more just and equitable world. That concludes our discussion for today. Thank you for joining us on Global Post.

Dr. Patricia Adams: Thank you, Dr. Powers. It was a pleasure to contribute to this important conversation.

Staff Sergeant Noah Kisten, known as Knife 17, adjusted his grip on the Spartan Defense SR-H2109 sniper rifle, feeling the weight and precision of the weapon in his hands. His spotter, Corporal Linda Tristan, or Knife 39, crouched beside him on the rooftop of Selkirk Tower, their vantage point overlooking the Anjung Batu Embassy. The tension in the air was palpable as they scanned the area, their eyes trained on the target below.

Through the scope of his rifle, Noah observed the embassy compound. The sprawling complex stood as a formidable structure, its walls seeming to hold the secrets within. Linda's voice broke the silence, her tone focused and composed. As the sniper operator of Special Team 612, Noah understood the gravity of his role. His Spartan Defense sniper rifle, with its effective firing range of 1,200 meters, was a precision tool designed for moments like these. Every breath he took, every adjustment he made, was crucial to maintaining his focus and accuracy.

"Knife 17, this is Knife 39. No movement was detected inside the embassy. The situation remains unchanged," she relayed calmly, her eyes never leaving the scene below.

Noah acknowledged her report with a nod, his gaze fixed on the embassy's main entrance. The mission was clear - to gather crucial intelligence and provide support to the ground teams. Their communication with Team 612's Mobile Command Post inside the Workhorse step van, led by Lieutenant Benjamin Foxygates, or Knife 2, was vital for coordinated efforts.

"Knife 2, this is Knife 17. No sign of activity at the embassy. We're maintaining our position," Noah transmitted through his radio, his voice steady and focused.

Lt. Foxygates' response came swiftly, his voice projecting confidence despite the gravity of the situation. "Copy that, Knife 17. Maintain your position and keep us updated."

As the minutes ticked by, Noah's sharp eyes continued to scan the surroundings. He glanced up to the sky, spotting the Police H-1952 Pelican light helicopter, Arrowtip 4, hovering above the area. The distinctive hum of its rotors filled the air, a reminder of the support from above.

"Arrowtip 4, this is Knife 17. Any signs of suspicious activity in the vicinity?" Noah inquired, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation.

The pilot's response crackled through the radio, "Knife 17, negative on any suspicious activity. We'll continue aerial monitoring and stand by." Noah adjusted his position slightly, his eyes never leaving the scope. He whispered into the communication device embedded in his ear, "Knife 17 to Knife 2, any updates from the Mobile Command Post?"

Lieutenant Foxygates' voice crackled through the earpiece, "Knife 17, negative on any movement inside the embassy. Maintain your position and stay vigilant. We're counting on you."

Noah and Linda remained vigilant, their role crucial in providing real-time information to the ground teams. The rooftop became their outpost, a realm of heightened awareness and precision. Their Spartan Defense SR-H2109 sniper rifle became an extension of their senses, its power ready to protect and defend. As the situation escalated, Noah and Linda knew that their presence was crucial in gathering and relaying critical information to those on the ground. They remained vigilant, eyes locked onto the scopes in front of them, meticulously scanning every inch of the terrain for any potential danger. Their role in providing real-time updates could not be overstated - lives depended on it. A tense silence filled the room as they relayed details to the operatives on the ground - location, movement patterns, and all other relevant intel. The fate of those on the frontline hung in the balance as they navigated a complex and hostile environment guided only by Noah and Linda's expertise. Their unwavering focus and quick reactions meant that each piece of information received was acted upon immediately - a testament to their value as critical members of an elite team pushing toward victory against seemingly insurmountable odds.

With every passing moment, they remained committed to their mission. The fate of the hostages and the safety of those involved rested, in part, on their trained eyes and unwavering focus. As the sun began to set, casting an orange glow over the city, Knife 17 and Knife 39 stood as silent sentinels, their duty unwavering until the situation inside the embassy changed. Noah acknowledged the order, his focus unyielding. In the distance, the sun began its descent, casting an orange glow over the city. The rooftop of Selkirk Tower became his solitary sanctuary, where duty, precision, and unwavering determination merged into a singular purpose: protecting lives and restoring peace.

Embassy of the State of Anjung Batu
The Bubble Site
Same time
Dr. Ismail Ahmad Nawab, the Anjung Batu Ambassador to Hundredstar, found himself in a dire situation. Huddled inside The Bubble with his loyal bodyguards, Victor and Amin, he desperately tried to establish contact with the Global Operations Center (GOC). Two long hours had passed since their last successful communication, leaving them to suspect that the terrorists had deployed a signal jammer to hinder their efforts.

Dr. Ismail sighed in frustration, his voice filled with concern as he addressed his bodyguards, "Victor, Amin, we need to find a way to get through this jamming interference. Our staff's lives depend on it. We can't afford to remain isolated any longer."

Victor, a former Hundredstar Navy frogman known for his resourcefulness, nodded in agreement. "Ambassador, I've seen some sophisticated gear during my time in the military, but if these terrorists managed to obtain such advanced equipment, it's a troubling revelation. We must stay vigilant and find a way to counter their tactics."

Amin, a former Anjungan Police Commando renowned for his bravery, chimed in, "Indeed, Victor. Our best bet is to rely on the resources we have within The Bubble. We may not have all the modern gadgets, but we still have enough basic gear to sustain us. However, we must act quickly before our supplies diminish."

As they continued to discuss their predicament, the sound of relentless banging against the fortified iron gate echoed through the chamber. Dr. Ismail's face tightened with worry. "They're persistent, hoping to break down our only barrier of protection. Let us pray that this iron gate can withstand their assault for as long as possible."

Dr. Ismail couldn't help but think about his staff, scattered throughout the embassy, their lives hanging in the balance. He silently prayed for their safety, desperately hoping that rescue would come soon. With every passing moment, the weight of responsibility pressed heavily upon him, urging him to find a solution and bring an end to this harrowing ordeal.

Inside The Bubble, surrounded by uncertainty and danger, Dr. Ismail and his dedicated bodyguards vowed to remain steadfast. They would utilize their skills, resilience, and the limited resources available to outlast the terrorists' siege. Their determination to survive and protect the lives of those they held dear burned brightly, driving them forward in the face of adversity. As they stood together, their resolve unyielding, they knew that their fight was far from over. The race against time had begun, and they would not rest until their staff was rescued and the threat of ABAS was eliminated.

Ryan von Anton (News Presenter): Good evening, viewers. We have breaking news from both Hundredstar and Anjung Batu regarding the tense situation at the Anjung Batu embassy in Bledllyn. Let's go live to our correspondents on the ground for the latest updates. Timo Fischer is standing by in Hundredstar. Timo, what can you tell us?

Timo Fischer (CNN Correspondent): Thank you, Ryan. The situation here in Bledllyn remains highly volatile. Hundredstar Police have confirmed that Ambassador Dr. Ismail A. Nawab is still inside the embassy building, but his safety cannot be confirmed at this time. It is believed that a total of seven members of the Anjung Batu Armed Separatist (ABAS) group have captured the embassy. The number of hostages is confirmed to be 31, including Ambassador Nawab. It's important to note that five of the ABAS terrorists entered Hundredstar last week, while the other two hold Hundredstar citizenship.

Ryan von Anton (News Presenter): Is the holder of Hundredstar citizenship the head of the ABAS Hundredstar Cell?

Timo Fischer (CNN Correspondent): Ryan, at this point, it has been confirmed that two of the ABAS terrorists who captured the embassy hold Hundredstar citizenship. However, it is unclear whether one of them is the head of the ABAS Hundredstar Cell. The investigation is still ongoing, and authorities are working to gather more information about the individuals involved in this crisis.

Ryan von Anton (News Presenter): Thank you, Timo, for that update. Let's now go live to Zaher Abbas in Anjung Hilir for the perspective from Anjung Batu. Zaher, what's the latest from there?

Zaher Abbas (CNN Correspondent): Good evening, Ryan. Anjung Batu is also witnessing significant developments related to the embassy seizure. Several human rights NGOs, who call themselves Friends of ABAS (FOA), staged a protest earlier today in front of the Anjung Batu Ministry of Foreign Affairs office. They are demanding the release of ten ABAS detainees and criticizing foreign interference, especially from Hundredstar, in the embassy situation. FOA is planning to hold a similar protest at the Hundredstar embassy here in Anjung Batu. However, the Police Riot Prevention Team had to disperse the protest using tear gas spray, and so far, 10 protesters have been detained.

Ryan von Anton (News Presenter): How is the situation in the capital of Anjung Batu affected by the protest and the police's response, and are there any casualties as a result of the incident

Zaher Abbas (CNN Correspondent): Ryan, the situation in the capital of Anjung Batu, Anjung Hilir, has been tense due to the protest and the police's response. The protest organized by the Friends of ABAS (FOA) in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office escalated into clashes between the protesters and the Police Riot Prevention Team. Tear gas was used to disperse the crowd, and as a result, there have been reports of injuries among both the protesters and the bystander. At this time, the exact number of casualties is still unclear, but we are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Ryan von Anton (News Presenter): Thank you, Zaher, for bringing us the situation in Anjung Batu. It's a tense and rapidly evolving situation on both fronts. We will continue to closely monitor developments in Bledllyn and Anjung Batu and provide you with the latest updates. Stay with us as we bring you more news after this short break.

Anjung Batu Embassy
Bledllyn, Hundredstar
[1730 local time]
Sergeant Billy Claywood, the Officer in Charge of Team Lionguard from the Urgent Response Team (URT) of Bledllyn City Police, led his team towards the main gate of the Anjung Batu Embassy. Riding in their GACO M850 Patriot MRAP, they approached the embassy compound with caution. Tonight, their main task was to secure the main route leading to the embassy and ensure the safety of all personnel involved.

As they neared the embassy, Sergeant Claywood's voice crackled through the radio, addressing his team. "Alright, everyone, stay sharp. We need to establish a secure perimeter and maintain control of the situation," he commanded, his tone firm and authoritative. The team members, including Corporal Tim Toren and Corporal Sue Borwood, nodded in acknowledgment, their focus unwavering.

Meanwhile, in a different location, the Hundredstar Police's Special Team 612 had its own set of responsibilities. Squadron Red 11, led by Staff Sergeant Alexis Fortov, was on standby, ready to storm the embassy if necessary. The team, consisting of 12 highly trained members, was mobilized at their staging point, each of them positioned inside their GACO Ironfox 2239 vehicles.

Sergeant Emma Holdmast, the deputy to Staff Sergeant Fortov and a two-time national shooting champion, double-checked her equipment, ensuring everything was in place. Her expertise and marksmanship skills would play a crucial role in the success of their mission. "Remember, everyone, stay focused and follow the plan. We're here to protect and serve," she reminded her team members, her voice steady and resolute.

Amidst the intense security preparations, the presence of nearly ten Duke Altis 500 ambulances stood as a reminder of the potential dangers that lay ahead. These ambulances, staffed by skilled medical professionals, were ready to provide immediate medical assistance in case of any unforeseen emergencies.

With each team meticulously carrying out their assigned tasks, a sense of determination filled the air. The stage was set for Operation Embassy Security, where the safety of lives and the preservation of order were paramount. The night held a mixture of tension, anticipation, and the unwavering commitment of these brave individuals, ready to face whatever challenges lay before them.

High above the embassy, Staff Sergeant Noah Kisten, the sniper from Special Team 612, peered through his scope, scanning the surroundings for any sign of movement. He spoke into his comms, his voice laced with urgency. "Knife 17 to Command, be advised, the terrorists have started shining laser lights towards our position. It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain visual contact on their location," he reported, frustration evident in his tone.

Inside the Mobile Command Post, Lieutenant Benjamin Foxygates furrowed his brow as he listened to the update from Staff Sergeant Kisten. The unexpected turn of events caught him off guard. "Knife 17, this is Knife 2. Copy that. Maintain your position and exercise caution. We're analyzing the situation here," he responded, his voice tinged with concern.

As Lt. Foxygates conferred with his team, the communications personnel delivered yet another troubling report. "Knife 2, this is Comms. We're experiencing significant interference from powerful jammers within the embassy. It's disrupting our efforts to monitor their communication broadcasts," the technician relayed, a hint of frustration in their voice.

Lt. Foxygates' mind raced, contemplating the implications of these challenges. The terrorists' use of laser lights and powerful jammers indicated a higher level of sophistication and preparation than initially anticipated. "Understood, Comms. Keep working on neutralizing those jammers. We can't afford to lose our eyes and ears inside the embassy," he commanded, his voice firm and resolute.

The situation grew increasingly tense as darkness enveloped the embassy, providing cover for the terrorists' nefarious activities. With each passing moment, the team's resolve strengthened, fueled by the determination to overcome these obstacles. The night had brought unforeseen challenges, but the brave individuals of Special Team 612 and their counterparts at the Mobile Command Post were prepared to face them head-on, unwavering in their commitment to protect innocent lives and restore order within the embassy walls.

Ghafar Rimau, the leader of the ABAS terrorists, surveyed the chaotic scene unfolding before him. He turned to Leman Gagak, his trusted lieutenant, and issued a command. "Fire the laser, Leman! Distract those police snipers," Ghafar ordered, his voice filled with determination. Leman swiftly adjusted the aim of the laser and pressed the trigger. A beam of light shot through the air, successfully diverting the attention of the snipers, allowing the terrorists to maneuver without immediate danger.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the embassy, Hashim Beruang and Jamal Badak, two seasoned members of ABAS, prepared to launch their NanoStar Type-56. The military-grade micro unmanned aerial vehicle, acquired from the black market, was a crucial tool for reconnaissance in their mission. Hashim glanced at Jamal, a look of anticipation in his eyes. "Are you ready, Jamal? Let's see what secrets we can uncover with the NanoStar." Jamal nodded, his fingers hovering over the control panel. With a swift motion, he launched the NanoStar into the air, its small frame buzzing with precision. The device would provide them with valuable intel on the surrounding area, helping them navigate the tense situation.

Inside the embassy, Ghafar Rimau focused his attention on the deputy ambassador, a captive in his hands. He sought to extract as much information as possible, knowing her vulnerability as a woman could potentially work in his favor. "You will tell me everything I want to know," Ghafar stated firmly, his gaze piercing. "Don't think your gender will protect you from the truth." The deputy ambassador, though frightened, remained defiant. "You will never succeed," she retorted, her voice filled with resilience. "The authorities will find a way to stop you."

Outside the embassy Bubble site, Ali Tupai and Mahmud Gajah continued their relentless efforts to breach the fortified gate that stood between them and the Bubble Site. Time was of the essence, and they knew they had to act quickly to accomplish their mission. Ali wiped the sweat off his brow, frustration was evident on his face. "We need to find a way to open this gate, Mahmud, the ambassador inside there, we need him. The longer we delay, the greater the risk." Mahmud nodded in agreement, his mind racing with possible solutions. "Perhaps we can use the explosives we brought. It might be our only chance to break through."

As they pondered their next move, the terrorists were reassured by the success of the military-grade comm jammer they had installed. Its effectiveness in disrupting communications gave them an advantage, making it harder for the authorities to coordinate their response. With time running out, the ABAS members knew that every action they took had to be swift and calculated. The tension in the air was palpable as they pushed forward, their determination unwavering. The fate of the hostages and the success of their mission hung in the balance.

"Laser beam, micro UAV, comm jammer, what else? nuclear bomb?" President, Haji Khahar could not contain his anger, he looked directly at the foreign minister, Dr. Megat he said, "Get Andalas (deputy FM), and tell the Hundredstar police to attack the terrorists immediately, otherwise the Anjung Batu army will take over" President, Haji Khahar turned his attention to General (ret.) Haji Mazlan, his defense minister, "Immediately prepare our Garuda Hitam team, send it there immediately, so that Hundredstar does not think we are not serious"

The emergency meeting in Situation Room was filled with tension as President Haji Khahar voiced his frustration. The situation at the Anjung Batu Embassy had escalated beyond his tolerance. Laser beams, micro UAVs, and communication jammers revealed the extent of the terrorists' capabilities. The mention of a nuclear bomb hung heavily in the air, emphasizing the urgency and gravity of the crisis.

Foreign Minister Dr. Then, taken aback by the president's anger, quickly composed himself and replied, "Mr. President, we have been in constant communication with the Hundredstar police. They are leading the operation, but they must proceed with caution to ensure the safety of the hostages. Attacking immediately might jeopardize innocent lives. We must trust their expertise and strategic approach."

President Haji Khahar's gaze shifted to General (ret.) Haji Mazlan, his defense minister, seeking a response. General Haji Mazlan understood the gravity of the situation and the president's need for action. "Mr. President, I will personally oversee the preparations of our elite Garuda Hitam team. They are our best special forces unit, trained for such high-risk operations. We will ensure their swift deployment to support Hundredstar's efforts and demonstrate our commitment to resolving this crisis."

The room fell silent as the president contemplated the proposed course of action. He recognized the delicate balance between urgency and the need for careful planning. Finally, he spoke with determination, "Proceed, General. Coordinate closely with Hundredstar authorities and provide them with the necessary assistance. We cannot afford any misunderstandings. Our objective is to secure the safety of our citizens and resolve this crisis swiftly."

As the meeting adjourned, President Haji Khahar knew that time was of the essence. He had made his intentions clear, and the gears of action had been set in motion. The Garuda Hitam team would be mobilized, offering support to Hundredstar's efforts. The race against time had begun, and the eyes of the two nations were now focused on the swift resolution of the Anjung Batu Embassy crisis.

In the high-security confines of the Integrated Police Lab, Deputy Commissioner of Police Dr. Mark Sunwelder and Commissioner of Police Parker Willpool, Director of the Terrorist Affair Department engaged in a critical discussion about a potential solution to neutralize the terrorists who had seized the Anjung Batu embassy. Their focus centered on the SDX-11V, a cutting-edge tool that held promise but had never been tested in a real situation.

Dr. Sunwelder carefully reviewed the specifications of the SDX-11V, studying the details with a discerning eye. "Commissioner Willpool, the SDX-11V appears to be a remarkable option for dealing with the hostage situation at the embassy. Its function as a sleeping gas provides a non-lethal approach to neutralize threats while minimizing harm to hostages."

Commissioner Willpool nodded, acknowledging the potential of the SDX-11V. "Indeed, Dr. Sunwelder. The safety features are impressive, with its targeted dispersal system and undetectable properties. The gas induces a deep sleep state within seconds, ensuring that the terrorists are rendered inactive without causing harm to the hostages."

Dr. Sunwelder raised a crucial concern. "While the SDX-11V seems promising on paper, we must consider that it has never been tested in a real-life situation. The risks and effectiveness in such scenarios are yet to be determined."

Commissioner Willpool sighed, understanding the weight of their decision. "Dr. Sunwelder, the situation at the embassy demands swift and decisive action. We must carefully evaluate the ethical guidelines and safety assurances surrounding the SDX-11V. If we proceed, we must be confident in its compatibility and its ability to incapacitate the terrorists effectively."

Dr. Sunwelder nodded in agreement. "Commissioner Willpool, I propose that we assemble a team of experts to thoroughly examine the SDX-11V and conduct simulations to gauge its performance in a controlled environment. We need to assess its efficacy, potential side effects, and any unforeseen risks to ensure the safety and well-being of all parties involved."

Commissioner Willpool recognized the importance of comprehensive testing. "Agreed, Dr. Sunwelder. We cannot afford to compromise the lives of the hostages or the effectiveness of our operations. Let us mobilize the necessary resources and collaborate with the manufacturers, Rossenburgh Technology Center, and Johann & Johann Chemical Industry, to conduct extensive research and testing on the SDX-11V."

With their shared determination to uphold the highest standards of safety and ethics, Dr. Sunwelder and Commissioner Willpool embarked on a mission to assess the viability of the SDX-11V. Their pursuit of a solution that prioritized the well-being of all parties involved would guide them toward a decision that could potentially save lives and bring an end to the crisis at the Anjung Batu embassy.
