The next day Anna called Olivier Mira Armstrong. "Major General. I need to speak to you about something important… Yes, it's related to state security. The catacombs under your fort have tunnels crossing the border with Ishval. I'm afraid some enemies may enter them and try to blow you up… You are right, there also may be chimeras and other dangerous creatures hiding near your place… I agree your army cannot alone check the entire fort, so I thought Lieutenant General Grumman would help you. Unfortunately, according to the words of 'Deadly Sins' he and the President, alongside his own loyal subordinates and friends, such as Lieutenant General Raven and Major General Halcrow, worked for them for years providing them cover. I'm looking forward to your cooperation and your resolution to this problem."

Several days later Armstrong, Grumman, Raven, Halcrow, and their soldiers went down into the dungeons. Grumman offered to examine one of the tunnels. When they all stepped into it, Raven noticed two figures at the end of the passageway. One of them was Brigadier General Fessel arguing about something inaudible with a large muscular man wearing black pants, braces and straps across his chest. This man occupied most of the tunnel opening and held in his hands a heavy machine gun. Around him were items resembling explosives.

Within a moment, there were shots and Fessel fell. Olivier said, "This prevented me from having to dirty my blade with his blood." After that, she drew a Transmutation Array on the earth leading to the decomposition of the stranger and his weapons into basic elements of the periodic table.

Halcrow began to thank her but felt the pistol against his head. He wanted to ask what that was about when he noticed he and the other officers except Olivier were surrounded by their own soldiers and the Briggs’ staff.

"You came into my parlor, said a Spider to a Fly," commented Armstrong. "I always tried to lure you all in one place. Finally, I did it. You are accused of harassment, treason, and aiding and abetting the enemy. You spent years helping the terrorists 'Deadly sins', giving them important information and documents for their members. They confirmed it themselves."

Armstrong came closer to the top brass and continued, "Your secret financial books showed the money you spent on these radicals and for the silence of your subordinates, in addition to the sums obtained from selling shoddy weapons and poor quality uniforms. Your colleague Mr. Oaken told me everything about it after I tore out his fingernails with my pliers. Now yours and my soldiers will slowly pierce you with their knives and bayonets until you bleed to death."

When the officers tried to object, saying they were valuable to the President, and he would execute Olivier and her staff for treason along with insubordination, she responded it was one more piece of evidence for Major Mustang’s hunch about King Bradley's own betrayal, and Elsa Hawkeye would shoot him like a mad dog.

After the execution, Olivier and the soldiers returned to the main building.
