In the early morning of July 25, 1976, a team of the Special Project Unit, CISO raided the residence of then Education, Technology and Innovation Jeniffer Snowfield in the suburb of South Windbridge. Initial information was, Mrs. Snowfield was arrested on charges of being a foreign intelligence agent. In addition, 45 other Montians were detained and tried on the same charges, and three foreign diplomats from two different countries were also evicted.

Despite the evidence presented by the CISO to be vague, Mrs. Snowfield remains detained and fired from President Ilacqua's cabinet. The special operation known as the Yellow Sword was led by Air Force's Aldo Maserwitch, Air Force (retired Colonel).
