When a potentially fatal malfunction occurred, fear was all that remained in the pilot's heart. He no longer took risks but immediately determined his bearings by observing the stars overhead, then steered the reconnaissance aircraft around and prepared to return along the incoming flight path.
The reconnaissance aircraft began its arduous return flight. Just as it had left the Misty Island Sea Area by 500 kilometers, all the equipment on board suddenly returned to normal, and communication with the ground also resumed. Relieved from his scare, the pilot no longer cared about losing face and promptly reported his encounter to the base, requesting to return.
