On behalf of（代表）/ɒn bɪˈhɑːf əv/ a regional monitoring mission, treaty auditor Leona Vey conducted the final inspection required by a disarmament（裁军）/dɪs'ɑːməm(ə)nt/ accord. Grey Cape airbase（空军基地）/'eəbeis; 'ɛəbeis/ failed to account for（解释）/əˈkaʊnt fɔː/ weapons recorded in its database. One commandant（司令官）/,kɒmən'dænt; 'kɒmən,dænt; -dɑːnt/ was said to control an armada（舰队）/ɑ:'mɑ:də/, while Admiral（海军上将）/'ædm(ə)r(ə)l/ Tomas Reed reported only a decommissioned depot. The entry in question（所涉及的）/ɪn ˈkwestʃən/ mixed live armament（武器装备）/'ɑːməm(ə)nt/, disabled hardware, museum labels, and scanned reports. Leona did not release the certificate until each entry had a physical source.
The naval（海军的）/'neɪv(ə)l/ dock survey established the largest assets. A former flagship（旗舰）/'flægʃɪp/, cruiser（巡洋舰）/'kruːzə/, destroyer（驱逐舰）/dɪ'strɒɪə/, and patrol warship（军舰）/'wɔːʃɪp/ were present, but their launch systems had been removed. A deckhand（甲板水手）/'dekhænd/'s log identified the helm（舵轮）/helm/ from an old steamer and a training dinghy. One torpedo（鱼雷）/tɔː'piːdəʊ/ tube was empty; another held concrete ballast. Inspectors watched workers stow（妥善装载）/stəʊ/ sealed munitions（军需弹药）/mju:'niʃnz/ separately from inert parts, then matched every serial number. No vessel could carry out（实施）/ˈkæri aʊt/ a launch.
Aircraft records contained similar category errors. The airforce（空军）/'eəfɔ:s/ squadron（飞行中队）/'skwɒdrən/ had once operated a bomber（轰炸机）/'bɒmə/, but only its stripped frame remained. Flak（高射炮火）/flæk/ marks and gunfire（炮火）/'gʌnfaɪə/ damage described the aircraft's history, not functioning weapons. An engineer found the hangar defensible（站得住脚的）/dɪ'fensɪb(ə)l/ against weather, not attack. Files marked strategic（战略性的）/strə'tiːdʒɪk/ or tactical（战术性的）/'tæktɪk(ə)l/ were essays by a strategist（战略家）/'strætədʒɪst/ and a tactician（战术家）/tæk'tɪʃən/; a fighting（战斗的）/'faɪtɪŋ/ manual was also only paper. None of these records described a second aircraft or justified counting one. The evidence offered no basis for（没有……的依据）/nəʊ ˈbeɪsɪs fɔː/ adding it to the total.
The arsenal（军械库）/'ɑ:sənəl/ required item-by-item checks. A calibre（口径）/'kælɪbə/ mismatch exposed a false rifle entry. A museum handgun（手枪）/'hæn(d)gʌn/ remained in its holster（手枪皮套）/'həʊlstə; 'hɒl-/, and wax blocked its muzzle（枪口）/'mʌz(ə)l/; a revolver（左轮手枪）/rɪ'vɒlvə/, shotgun（霰弹枪）/'ʃɒtgʌn/, sabre（军刀）/'seɪbə/, and grenade（手榴弹）/grə'neɪd/ were replicas. Personnel terms caused further inflation: rifleman（步枪兵）/'raɪf(ə)lmən/, conscript（应征士兵）/kən'skrɪpt/, reservist（预备役军人）/rɪ'zɜːvɪst/, and serviceman（军人）/'sɜːvɪsmən/ came from one old roster of an infantry（步兵）/'ɪnf(ə)ntrɪ/ platoon（排）/plə'tuːn/. Its soldierly（军人式的）/'səʊdʒəlɪ/ commendation and martial（军事的）/'mɑːʃ(ə)l/ portrait were documents. A javelin（标枪）/'dʒæv(ə)lɪn/ and a firecracker（爆竹）/'faɪəkrækə/ box were training props. Inspectors set aside（暂时搁置）/set əˈsaɪd/ photographs from a police holdup（持枪抢劫）/'həʊldʌp/ because that property had never entered the base.
Archive imports explained the strangest labels. A prison file alleged espionage（间谍活动）/'espɪənɑːʒ; -ɪdʒ/ and treason（叛国罪）/'triːz(ə)n/ and carried a gaoler（监狱看守）/'dʒeɪlə/'s signature. Propaganda praised militarism（军国主义）/'mɪlɪt(ə)rɪz(ə)m/, rearmament（重新武装）/'ri,ɑrməmənt/, a warlike（好战的）/'wɔːlaɪk/ warlord（军阀）/'wɔːlɔːd/, an invincible（不可战胜的）/ɪn'vɪnsɪb(ə)l/ legion（军团）/'liːdʒ(ə)n/, and permanent hostility（敌对情绪）/hɒ'stɪlɪtɪ/; later testimony described the enmity（敌意）/'enmɪtɪ/ those claims created. Nothing in the file（档案中没有任何材料）/ˈnʌθɪŋ ɪn ðə faɪl/ converted such language into material equipment. Leona told the admiral, 女“A frightening label can record hostility, but it cannot turn a photograph into a weapon.” The review therefore separated political language from physical evidence.
The corrected register was in line with（与……一致）/ɪn laɪn wɪð/ the physical count: each live round appeared once, each disabled object was marked inert, and every document became an archive record. The audit neither hid a live item nor counted a replica as usable. In accordance with（按照）/ɪn əˈkɔːdəns wɪð/ the accord, all twenty-seven controlled items entered verified destruction ahead of schedule（提前完成进度）/əˈhed əv ˈʃedjuːl/. Closing the depot did not antagonize（使敌对）/æn'tæɡənaiz/ neighbouring states. The result was measurable, so Grey Cape received its certificate and the peaceful（和平的）/'piːsfʊl; -f(ə)l/ monitoring mission ended.
