Story

Ito Kazuky, the villain of La Fille du vent employs Yoko as his secretary and translator after she finds his current secretary incapacitated in the Cologne Cathedral. Kazuky is making a deal with important German businessmen inside a luxurious train, called Rheingold Express. The deal involves nuclear warheads and something strange called The Room of Transitoriness, so it's small wonder that agents of both CIA and KGB get added into the mix. As Yoko gets involved in the case she is attacked by a masked woman who neck chops Yoko. Yoko faints and lays unconscious just above the river.As her attacker tries to push Yoko into the Rhine, she is stopped by Koshi, an android, who carries the still unconscious Yoko Tsuno to safety. Among Kazuky's employees that help Yoko is Koshi, a mute but advanced android.

The cover of this comic shows an unconscious Yoko Tsuno being carried by Koshi.
