Synopsis[]
An unknown old man who despises technology is wreaking havoc across Cyberaya!
Plot[]
The episode begins with Agent Bakar leading Ali, Alicia and Moon on a mission to investigate an intrusion in Beta Tower. As they lurk in the storage room, Ali notices his uncle carrying a new disk-shaped gadget. Bakar briefly explains that the device is used to knock out all nearby targets. There are screams outside, and the entire team moves out.
Along the corridors littered with unconscious guards, Analogman, an old man wearing a top hat, frock coat, single-lens glasses and a cane, walks, belittling the technological advances of the building's security system. A guard who is still awake tries to call for help over the radio, but his radio is destroyed by a stab from Analogman's cane. Analogman then drops a smoke bomb in the form of an analog clock to break open the door of the invented storage room.
As soon as the intruders enter, Team Bakar comes out and lurks by the laboratory door. Bakar leans against a trash can where a cockroach comes out and scares him. Inside the laboratory, Analogman attaches bundles of dynamite to a storage box. The guard from earlier got up again and was about to attack Analogman with a baton, but was immediately stopped by throwing firecrackers and tripping over his leg with a stick. Just as he was about to hit the guard, Bakar was seen being chased by cockroaches while ordering his men to catch the intruder.
Alicia lunged into the room to signal the presence of her team. Analogman threatened to activate the bomb by pointing the key into the lock, but was stopped by Comot who picked up the key and sent it to Moon, then Moon emitted clones to confuse the enemy. Ali attacked Analogman with a yoyo but was repelled with a stick until he was thrown.
Alicia lunged again, but Analogman dodged by bending his body back with his foldable stick. Then, Analogman threw four smoke bombs. Ali spun his yoyo for cover while Alicia pushed Moon aside. The smoke bombs exploded and knocked Moon's clones down. While the three trainees coughed in smoke, Analogman trapped them in the room by slamming the door with a bar.
Bakar, who was still standing on the trash can in fear because of the cockroaches, felt the tremors from the explosion in the storage room. He immediately called Ali for status. While trying to break the door, Ali used I.R.I.S. to track Analogman and found that he was heading towards the exit of the building, then informed Bakar. Therefore, Bakar got down from the trash can. Ali used a yoyo blast to knock down the door latch and exited with Alicia and Moon.
Analogman was staggering towards the door in the lobby when Bakar managed to catch up with him. Analogman threw a smoke bomb at Bakar but was hit by a Plasma Shield. Bakar took the opportunity to throw his new gadget at Analogman, but the gadget did not work at all and Analogman managed to exit the building. Ali, Alicia and Moon arrived at the lobby of Menara Beta. Bakar picked up the disk and tried to find a way to activate it until he came across and switch at the bottom and pressed it carelessly, causing him to be electrocuted.
Bakar's team gathered at a hideout at the construction site where the team leader treated General Rama's hologram for his negligence. Bakar complains about not being taught how to activate his new gadget, especially since Jenny is gone. The General criticizes Bakar for calling Jenny the traitor; the subordinates are also visibly upset. The General reminds that the suspect has made more than four attacks, each one worse than the last, and even though they are all related to new technology, he has not escaped anything. Alicia concludes that Analogman's motive is to destroy the target.
The General mentions one more thing that is most disturbing about Analogman, which is that he is not on the "grid." Ali is surprised because he does not know, so Alicia explains about the Cyberaya Information Grid that stores the details of every citizen of Cyberaya, including birth, identification, education, driver's license and so on. Bakar still does not understand, so the General yells again that Analogman does not officially exist. The General orders Bakar's team to double their investigation efforts because they need to know Analogman's next target, ending with "Act immediately!"
Ali, Alicia and Moon leave first, but Bakar is still struggling to find the switch button for the hologram transmitter device. The General snaps again until Bakar drops his device. In a gruff tone, the General insisted that a M.A.T.A. agent should be skilled with technology and then erase the hologram himself. This made Bakar feel empty with himself.
Sometime later during school break, Mrs. Munah announced to her students who were about to leave for recess that there would be a study trip the next day and asked them to guess the destination. Mawar guessed the Cyber Theme Park while Viktor guessed the E-Sport Arena. All the students answered in unison, causing Mrs. Munah to get angry and swing her cane, reminding them that the study trip was not a play trip.
Mrs. Munah announced that the destination was the Cyberscience Technology Center. Sasidaran was excited because they would be taken to witness the introduction of Robopol that would be held there. Mia said it was interesting while Shaun said it was good because there were no classes. Ali smiled and welcomed the visit, then Mrs. Munah suddenly approached Ali and urged him to take this opportunity to improve his weaknesses in science. Ali nodded nervously.
In the canteen, Ali and Viktor were busy playing with their phones. As soon as he realized that the nuggets were gone, Viktor went to buy more. Bakar, who was in disguise, came and pushed Ali aside and brought a pile of burgers for him to eat while looking gloomy. Bakar invited Ali to eat a burger but was treated coldly, so he was annoyed by his nephew's attitude of being so busy playing that he ignored the people around him, especially since he and Ali's mother did not have the opportunity to touch such devices when they were children but still had fun playing physically in the park, so Ali was surprised to ask about Bakar's childhood.
Bakar told a story of one day in the park where he once invited three friends to play chase but they refused, especially since one of the friends thought chase was outdated. Another friend rebuked his mockery by sarcastically reminding him that Bakar's parents could not afford to buy a Gamebod; those words made Bakar even more hurt. After the three friends left, Bakar sat on a bench and thought. His sister also came to visit and asked, so Bakar asked if he could ask his father to buy him a Gamebod. His sister belittled the Gamebod and invited his younger brother to play chase. After the story was over, Ali said that everything nowadays requires technology, so Bakar complained that that was the problem. Ali realized that he was losing in his phone game, and Bakar asked for help. Viktor returned with new nuggets and was surprised to see a pile of burgers next to Ali.
The next day, the 6 Avicennas arrived at the Cyberaya Science Center. They gathered in front of the big door, where Mrs. Munah reminded them to behave themselves so they wouldn't be sent back to school. As soon as they entered, the students were amazed to see various cutting-edge technology exhibits, and even tried them out. Among them was the virtual reality game booth used by Viktor and accompanied by Mia and Boy. Ali also went there and managed to grab a turn to try it after Viktor.
While Ali was playing, Shaun took the opportunity to tease the game machine until Ali got confused and fell over. He was teased by all his classmates, and was even reprimanded by Mrs. Munah who reminded him not to touch it if he didn't know how to use it because she couldn't compensate him if the equipment broke. While the other students gathered back at the virtual reality exhibition, Ali hugged himself and was upset about the incident. Alicia stood by Ali and reminded him to study on this trip. Ali complained that he had already studied, but Alicia reprimanded him for his childish behavior, so Ali also rebelled.
The Technology Center's public address rang out inviting the attendees to gather at the stage area to witness the main exhibition, the Robopol launch ceremony. The audience, who were looking forward to this event, also raced there, and Ali and Alicia also followed along with the other students. Dr. Mala was invited to the stage and was greeted with cheers from the entire audience. He gave a speech to introduce Robopol, a humanoid robot for police use created as a result of the collaboration between Menara Beta and Gamma.
Four Robopol units were displayed on the stage. Ali noticed that the robots resembled M.A.T.A.'s droid and wondered why the old technology was called new. Alicia interrupted Ali by explaining that most new technologies would be used by M.A.T.A. three years in advance before being introduced to the public to ensure that Cyberaya's technology was always ahead. She added that this was an agreement between the founders of Cyberaya and M.A.T.A. On the instructions of Dr. Mala, all four Robopol units lined up and chanted while reciting ready to serve; the performance was enthusiastically received by the audience with cheers and applause.
When Dr. Mala calmed down the cheers, only one person was left to clap for a long time, namely Analogman who planned to "test the sophistication of the robots." First, Analogman threw several smoke bombs onto the stage, then a Robopol unit managed to catch them all. Everyone in the audience cheered, including Viktor who thought it was a great show. Suddenly, the bomb exploded, knocking the unit down, so the audience was scared and ran away. Three more Robopol units shot at Analogman, so he blocked it by opening the shield umbrella from his cane.
All the students panicked and ran in all directions. Mrs. Munah told them to take cover behind her immediately. Alicia invited Ali to change clothes. Ali nodded and was about to tell her that there was a secret machine next to the entrance, but Alicia had already walked far ahead so Ali had to chase.
Dr. Mala hid on the stage steps, but he was found by Analogman who threw a smoke bomb at him. A Robopol unit came to block the bomb by lying face down and it exploded. Another unit threw Dr. Mala went to the side to eat the bomb, while the last unit installed a heat detection function to detect intruders in the thick smoke but was eventually beaten to pieces by Analogman with his cane.
After Ali and Alicia gave birth to their suits, Ali found that the situation was getting worse and asked Ali to call Agent Bakar. Ali did so but to no avail; Bakar was still sulking while busy eating his burger, ignoring the phone call. Meanwhile, Mrs. Munah managed to direct the other students to leave through the emergency exit. Analogman acted to set off an alarm, causing the barrier door to lower at the emergency exit; Mrs. Munah managed to sneak through before it closed.
Analogman attached bundles of dynamite to all the high-tech exhibits, all connected to a control box with a clock face as a time marker, creating a series of time bombs. He was ready to insert the key into his box but was interrupted by Dr. Mala's shot with the remains of the Robopol unit. Analogman responded by throwing firecrackers at the inventor, causing him to collapse. Seeing the situation, Ali and Alicia moved to catch up with time.
Analogman ties Dr. Mala to a chair while asking if he has ever seen the situation on the outskirts of Cyberaya where the people are all destitute and are being marginalized simply because they are not caught up with the technological current. Then, he walks to the bomb control box while saying that the people of Cyberaya have forgotten the value of humanity in the pursuit of progress.
As soon as Analogman is about to insert the key, he is interrupted by Alicia's catapult that knocks the key out, while Ali urges him to let Dr. Mala go. Analogman throws a smoke bomb at them but it misses, and Ali throws his yo-yo at the enemy until it hits. Analogman gets up from the fall and complains that young people today do not respect their elders. He is attacked by three more catapults but manages to block it with a stick shield that is also used to repel Ali's yo-yo. Ali uses I.R.I.S. to detect Analogman's weakness and therefore uses the yo-yo to grab the stick, helped by Alicia who slingshots her until her stick misses. Finally, Ali throws her yo-yo again, making Analogman throw it away.
Ali and Alicia are ready to let Dr. Mala go. Mala from the bond, then Analogman threatens to blow up the Azurium reactor exhibition. Ali is alarmed while Alicia is calm, guessing that the supply of Azurium in the exhibition should not be enough to endanger the public. Analogman doubts Alicia's threat as he raises a smoke bomb over the reactor. Dr. Mara calls Ali and Alicia to stop Analogman, but it is too late because the bomb has already been dropped into the reactor tube and detonated by the Azurium beam. Alicia fires again but the bullet falls in the middle of the road, the entire building falls into darkness and I.R.I.S. is also extinguished, an effect of the reactor explosion. Dr. Mala explains that even a small amount of Azurium will produce electromagnetic waves when detonated.
In the darkness, Ali and Alicia are shocked by a smoke bomb thrown from nowhere. Analogman's invisible voice echoes, mocking them for relying too much on sophisticated equipment until now they are unable to do anything. Analogman ambushes Ali, but Ali immediately turns around and is ready to respond with a yoyo in hand. Analogman deflected the yoyo and tripped Ali with his stick, then he pulled out a screw spike from the end of the stick and prepared to stab Ali who was lying on his back.
Fortunately, Alicia came to stop Analogman by punching him with the Ballistic stick, so the two of them fought with their stick weapons. Analogman threw another bomb, and Alicia dodged with a back kick. Alicia continued to hit back with Ballistic but was hit by Analogman by opening the stick shield. Alicia jumped and attacked again, and Analogman hit her wrist, making Ballistic drop. Then, Analogman threw another smoke bomb, making Alicia fall down and faint, then rushed back towards his time bomb.
Agent Bakar suddenly appeared by falling from the ceiling air duct. Analogman was surprised to ask how he could come in suddenly, so Bakar replied that an agent must be good at sneaking wherever he is needed. Ready to fight, he told Ali to take Alicia and Dr. Mala to safety. Analogman threatened that his opponent would shatter before touching him, so Bakar asked who would shatter first.
Bakar switched on his disk gadget and threw it at Analogman, but it was hit by Analogman with his staff shield and thrown far away. Bakar became anxious because of the stalemate while Analogman laughed out loud while throwing smoke bombs one after another. Bakar took cover with the Plasma Shield but it quickly went out, so he ran around until he hid in the virtual reality exhibition booth. While throwing more smoke bombs, Analogman laughed at Bakar for not being able to fight despite his advanced equipment.
Ali quietly untied Dr. Mala while Analogman searched for Bakar. Bakar hid by the side of the exhibition car and was hit by a smoke bomb thrown there. After the bomb exploded, Analogman went to check there but did not find his man; Bakar ambushed him using the car door that was torn off as a shield. Analogman threw another bomb at Bakar but it didn't work, so Bakar threw down his 'shield' and punched his enemy in the face until he was thrown far away. Analogman seemed to have fainted from the punch, so Bakar went to approach him. Suddenly, Analogman quickly got up and placed dynamite on him; the dynamite immediately exploded and Bakar was thrown away.
Hiding on the stage steps with Dr. Mala and Alicia, Ali saw what had happened to Bakar and rushed towards him. He growled at Analogman who managed to lock his time bomb to explode in one minute. As soon as Analogman wanted to leave, Ali attacked him from behind and struggled to grab the key to the bomb. Bakar got up again and saw Ali and Analogman fighting, then he saw his disk gadget in front of him and crawled over to it.
Analogman knocked Ali down and prepared to stab him again with the spike of his stick. Bakar called his nephew to step aside while turning on his disk, and Ali took the opportunity to trip Analogman's leg with his hand. Bakar threw the disk until it hit, and Analogman was startled and fainted. Ali grabbed the key from Analogman and managed to turn off the bomb a second before it exploded. He breathed a sigh of relief and lay down next to his uncle and said well done. Bakar smiled and muttered seeing the dim and ruined atmosphere of the exhibition hall due to the enemy threat earlier.
Some time later since the Analogman incident, Bakar came to visit Ali at his house. Ali complained that he could not contact Bakar despite trying many times, so Bakar checked his phone and was surprised to see that he had missed 20 calls. Ali pointed out that Bakar's phone had been on silent mode all this time. While playing video games, Ali told Bakar that Analogman's words were true, which is that although Cyberaya is getting more advanced, many people are in trouble because of technology. Bakar refuted those words by arguing that the problem is not with technology but with humans; technology exists to meet human needs but humans determine whether it is good or bad. He added that Cyberaya was developed with the aim of enriching technology. Ali agreed with his uncle's argument.
Ali and Bakar stared at a photo of Ali's mother, then Bakar remembered his childhood when his sister gave him an electric toy similar to Gamebod that he had assembled himself at the technology elementary school he attended. Bakar even praised his sister but was a little disappointed because it looked like an old game. The sister sulked and wanted to take the device back, but Bakar quickly took back his words. The sister was still disappointed because she was not thanked, so Bakar did the same.
