[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A project led by the Secret Intelligence Service tries to investigate the source of a strange and weak radio signal, which originates from a crater at the Soviet-Afghanistan border. The signal was first picked up by the horn antenna in Pleumeur-Bodou, France. The signal is thought to be coming from a Handley Page 'Heracles' aeroplane that disappeared in the region in 1933 while carrying important documents of the Intelligence Service.

Yoko, visiting the communication centre in Pleumeur-Bodou after having landed nearby in a borrowed glider, catches the project's director's eye for her gliding skills. Yoko and her friends are soon drafted into the operation as pilots of the planes custom-designed for visiting the crater and finding the Heracles. Once inside the crater, Yoko stumbles upon the scene of the old drama, which harbors one demented survivor, a horde of baboons doing the man's bidding, and an enemy whom she didn't expect. And in the end, she has to struggle to return the man and the plane to the world in which they belong.
