   In the land of Reeve, the Gunner clique earn a living as high profile couriers. Piloting quaint propeller based aircraft, main characters Ciel and Copain form a formidable duo to tackle missions and tasks. A third role played by Femme provides additional interaction and support for our heroes. At the city festival, new sights and delights are shown, and town folk congregate to view the curiosities. A rash of inventions being shown at the event attract the attention of master criminal Ventre, who schemes to abscond some of the more promising pieces. Marshalling a fleet of airships, Ventre attacks and that leaves monsieur Ciel and madam Copain to defend against the onslaught. Although the airships flown by our protagonists are relatively small, they are packed with twin machine guns which are enough to wreck opponents of similar size as well as massive zeppelins which may be rendered harmless. 
   A neat Bangaio-ish attack feature in the game allows for chain reactions. For example, if the horizon happens to be dotted with Ventre's goons, you can focus your firepower on one victim and set it ablaze. As it explodes, it's wreckage may set surrounding ships afire and so forth.
