Note She hopes to understand the jungle and find a way for it and humans to coexist.One night, during a visit by the Valleys swordsmaster Lord Yupa, a cargo aircraft from the kingdom of Tolmekia crashes in the Valley. Nausica tries to rescue a passenger, the wounded Princess Lastelle of Pejite, who pleads with Nausica to destroy the cargo before dying. The cargo is an embryo of a Giant Warrior, one of the lethal bioweapons that caused the Seven Days of Fire. The Tolmekians, a military state, seized the embryo and Lastelle from Pejite, but their plane was attacked by mutant insects and crashed. One of the insects emerges wounded from the wreckage and seems poised to attack the frightened villagers, but Nausica uses a small bullroarer to calm it and guides it away from the Village on her jetpowered glider. ........
