"Are you sure you are ready with the place and conditions that will be our destination later?" Satriya opened her conversation with the girl in front of her.

"You have to believe, if we want something the first thing to do is to believe first and that is a priority for me," replied Geraldine.

"I have also prepared all the equipment to cleaning tools I am more comfortable while cycling like this, my body becomes more fit," he added as he started pedaling.

"Ready to guide you, Miss Geraldine," said Satriya politely.

This is the day when Satriya fulfills her promise at the request of Geraldine, a beautiful girl who is a customer, as well as a college friend at one of the universities with the same faculty but different levels. Satriya is two levels below Geraldine, who is completing the remaining end of the academic year and intends to continue to the next level in a foreign country.

The location of their final disposal site is outside the expansion area that resembles an island. A place that is far from anywhere is very isolated and requires extra time and travel to get there, not to mention passing through several areas that can be called dangerous for ordinary people and not bound by any laws. Satriya calls it the land of the middle of nowhere.

The journey enters a slum area, with simple semi-permanent houses lined up on each side of the road they pass. Now and then the two of them had to get off the bike by guiding it while crossing several groups of young teenagers who were busy playing games or stopped when almost half of the road was used by small children to play jump rope or even soccer.

But every time he passed, every eye seemed to be looking at the two of them. The two of them became the center of attention of people they seemed to rarely see or in other words due to their appearance which was not from their circle.

Far ahead was visible a towering high gate with a gate that reads "The Place of the Afterlife" a name that seemed joking but gave a slightly strange and even terrible meaning.

"Finally we arrived," Satriya said while wiping sweat with a small towel that was taken out of the trunk of her bicycle.

"We'd better go to the retribution post as well as the control post first to just report and leave this bike," Satriya continued, followed by Geraldine, who also guided her ride.

Monitoring post and retribution.

A sign that reads "Post Supervisor II" appears to be attached to the concrete wall of a fairly large permanent building, the only building whose construction looks solid. Maybe this is the only government-owned building in this place because its clean condition is inversely proportional to what is around it. You know, the name is also a landfill.

A place to report appears with arrows on the left, it looks very quiet no one is seen from a distance. Slowly and surely Satriya and Geraldine headed for the building and immediately followed the direction of the arrows printed on the walls of the large building.

As soon as he entered a room where there was only one table and chairs, a guard was seen playing a computer game. Meanwhile, there are four digital wide screens attached to each side of the whitewashed wall. A drink bottle and shot glass did not appear to accompany the computer table. Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, several used bottles were also decorated.

"Excuse me, my colleagues and I want to gain access to this place, is this the place?" Said Satriya, his hand also knocked on the door of the room as a sign of presence in the room.

“Each set aside five bucks for an access card and another five bucks for the storage space across the room. Automatic access cards are available in front of the storage room. Payment is made upfront and in cash!”

Without looking back the man gave a statement, his hand again sipped the drink from the shot glass and began to refill it when the shot was empty. It seems that this officer already looks half-drunk but can continue his game and answer by explaining to those who come.

Geraldine immediately reached into her pants pocket and then paid the amount of money mentioned by the officer. The smell of alcohol made Geraldine hold her breath a little as she handed it over.

"If I may ask, have there been several people who came to this place before us? Geraldine suddenly asked a question that made the man turn to her.

His eyes looked at the girl from head to toe, with a slight smile the man seemed to slightly doubt Geraldine's appearance. "If you want additional info ..., five dollars I think is enough, nothing is free in this world" he answered lightly.

"No thanks, let us look for it ourselves if it is true that someone has arrived earlier than the two of us, moreover who wants to go to a place like this!" Satriya suddenly cut off the conversation between Geraldine and the officer. He grabbed his arm and rushed to the storage room.

As soon as he left the room, he could still hear the half-drunk man say, "You city people don't work, can't let us relax for a moment!"

An automatic access card printing machine was leaning in front of a room that was mentioned earlier, Satriya first started the biometric process on the device, and less than two minutes a card came out containing her data and photo. Geraldine does the same thing because after having the access card they can only open the storage room access door, only by sticking the card the door will open.

The same as in the previous place where on each wall there is a digital screen or a monitor screen for the entire landfill area. Upon entering the room, there was another officer. His stature is small and looks a little thin with a slightly muffled tone of voice, seems to stutter in speaking and begins to introduce himself as a storage clerk then invites him to go to several lockers that look elongated. Different from the half-drunk officer earlier. This one officer acted the opposite, seemed friendly and even quite informative even though his tone of voice was a little stuttered.

Geraldine sat on a long bench between the lockers lined up and seemed to be preparing something, while Satriya walked with the guard named Ucok Luiz, the name tag pinned on his uniform leaning on his bicycle in the space provided. Satriya asked a little about the function of the monitor which made her a little curious about the display that was always moving.

"The monitor screens on the wall seem to indicate a place or location, is it also a surveillance camera?" Satriya asked trying to be more convincing by asking the man a question while pointing his hand at one of the screens.

"Be ..., right .. right" replied Ucok Luis stammering then added.

"The one behind you is the organic disposal area while the rest is the processing and disposal of organic and overall everything is monitored by camera"

"It means?" Satriya asked a little curious because the appearance that looks different from what she usually sees so far.

Then Ucok Luiz explained that indeed the entire area has surveillance cameras, but not with static cameras installed at certain points but using drones or moving views from the air to get fairly wide and mobile coverage. One more thing, Ucok Luis added, previously there was a static surveillance camera installed, but it was always lost or damaged before the object was installed. In other words, all these dumps are not just dumped sites or empty locations, but each has residents in every part of its territory even though it is unknown what and who its existence is.

"Pretty interesting, huh?" reply Satriya

"Let me show you something that might be useful for you" a little excited Ucok Luiz invites us to see the computer on his desk.

“This one is a plastic weist area or a plastic processing place, here there are quite a several collectors who are collecting and sorting plastic waste to be recycled. Most of the people lived around the area before the landfill area. I'm sure you've already passed through the settlement because that is the only way to reach this place.”

"Well, your guess is correct because that's the only road that I know quite well. I was brought up in an environment not far from that place before,” Satriya confirmed.

On the other hand, Geraldine seems to take out some equipment including a smartphone which is now pinned to her left arm. Degreedine even though she wore an army singlet with half-knee pants, she still had a feminist side even though she looked a little sporty. His face was not from the lower class or anything like that.

Another cell phone looks turned on. Gently sliding the screen of his cellphone, visible from the sound of the application that sounded with background music and voice commands from the cellphone, Satriya approached.

“What app are you opening?” his eyes also scanned the screen Geraldine was playing.

Half smiling and looking a little embarrassed Geraldine explained that her purpose in coming to this place was because of the application she was playing.

A Challenge Game application called “Hunt and search” is an application that has just been released with several tasks or challenges to find something or objects of value. A game that combines several elements in it but certainly with an adventure portion is challenging. As soon as Geraldine's brief explanation, Regarding the method, there will be a further command, but we don't know what the command is before the coordinates in the application respond to the form of a signal or display connected to something that is being sought.

“Oooh…, like looking for treasure?” said Satriya in response.

"Yes..., that's how it is" While her fingers closed the backpack she was carrying, Geraldine then walked towards Ucok Luiz who was watching the monitor screen.

"Okay Ucok Luiz, we are ready now. Can you show us which place to go for an object made of plastic?” Geraldine asked as her eyes turned to each screen in turn.

“Wait a minute…, hold on…! Let me show you something new…!” Ucok Luis exclaimed while playing on his computer again. You can now easily get to each area throughout this landfill area by riding a small train without having to go on a walking wheel filled with piles of garbage like usual. The facilities completed by the manager in collaboration with the largest private company have just provided a tool that functions as a support as well as a means of transportation for the supervisors later. Lucky you guys are the first to use it before it was publicly unveiled.

The operation happens to be at this place, although I don't know when it will be carried out, I have tested the tool and it works well. The entire sector has six stops, with access cards as a running tool of course. So which sector would you like to explore first? And I hope you are alert or careful while you are there, there is no guarantee for yourself after you get out of the train” Ucok Luiz again warned about the real conditions to both of them.

"Okay Ucok Luiz we fully understand and thank you for the notification" Geraldine replied and told them the first place they would enter.
