### *Soukyuu no Fafner Exodus*

Olga is present at the CDC when they notice a Human Army's transport craft, which is being chased by a Festum, is approaching the island. With the orders that are given out, the CDC makes sure that the jets are safe and that the transport craft arrives safely while the second generation pilots fight against the Festum. Olga is at the CDC during the first battle of the third generation pilots. Part of the expeditionary force, Olga leaves the island the next day.

Upon arriving at Srinagar, the expeditonary force is greeted by the Perseus team and Olga is surprised to see that there isn't a single Festum nearby despite their wide-area communications. After landing, the group follows Narain Wiseman-Bose to meet their Mir. Later that night, their hotel gets attacked by a serpent-like Festum and Olga is glad to see Maya's family safe. They quickly get in the bus driven by Kyousuke Mizoguchi to get away from the scene. The next day, Olga and Kyousuke try to fly their craft to a safer place but during their attempt, one of the wings get destroyed by the enemy who emerged from the ground. After Kazuki Makabe and Soushi Minashiro came to their rescue, Olga helps out the Human Army with the injured soldiers and civilians. Later in the night, Kyousuke informs the others about the Narain's plan and Olga wonders if Miwa Hino can speak with Tatsumiyajima's core. The next day, the expedtionary force joins the Human Army and surviving soldiers to find a new land.

Olga mutters that it is going to be a long journey after they have reached a tenth of their planned course in five days. After several camps came under attack, the expedtionary force brings up the topic about the possibily of a spy being among the people to give the locations away. They reach the nineteenth camp, however, they get attacked by both Festum and the Human Army due to ROE Alpha and Olga tries to reach out to the Human Army to stop their attacks. Kyousuke tries to urge her to leave the cockpit but an attack hits the cockpit, severly injuring her. She gets treated by Yumiko Hino and she apologizes for being unable to stop the soldiers on the opposing side. The next day, Olga is on one of the planes heading back to Tatsumiyajima to deliver a report and to treatment for her injuries.

The high-speed crafts have Tatsumiyajima in their sights, however, they get attacked by the huge Azazel-type and the main pilot of Olga's craft get assimilated. Olga continues to fly to the island and tries to contact the CDC, informing them of the attacks by Dhaka Base's forces. She sends them the data and wants them to save everyone while her blood seeps through her pilot uniform. She starts losing more and more blood and thanks the island for allowing her to spend time there. The Azazel-type goes for Olga's craft and Sui Kaburagi manages to teleport her to his cockpit before impact but is ultimately unable to save her as she dies of the blood loss. Olga's body makes it to the island where the staff grieves about her death, especially the ones who were cast aside by the Human Army.

Olga is among the deceased people that appear before Kenji Kondou and Sui.
