A passenger plane gets absorbed into a 2 kilometer cube that appears in the middle of the Haneda airport.

Shindo enters the cube known as Kado and meets a being called Yaha-kui zaShunina, who seems to possess powers beyond humanity's comprehension.

In a worldwide broadcast, Yaha-kui zaShunina states that his goal is humanity's advancement and offers a gift.

The UN Security Council is greatly concerned by the Japanese government's possession of the Wam, sources of limitless energy, and demand that all Wam be turned over to them.

The world's governments are demanding the Wam be handed over immediately, and an American carrier strike force has left Yokosuka port.

Now that the last of the passengers have left the Kado cube, Shindo is tasked with moving it away from the airport.
