Following his triumph in the SS Commander election Lakes has maintained a low profile while disgruntled supporters of the losing candidates Tekan and Gillespie let off steam. The death toll is thought to have been in single figures. Finally Lakes gave an interview to SS-TV where he thanked the SS for electing him their leader.
He announced that former SS Commander Gibson would be his deputy though refused to answer when asked if this appointment had been imposed on him by Emperor Jimmy. Lakes also did not answer when questioned over whether the arrest of the other 2 candidates prior to the election by himself helped his cause.
Lakes did say however that he would be lenient with the traitors and they would only receive 35 years hard labour each. Lakes promised the SS would now enter a new era of brutal repression of dino rights and total law enforcement. His audience of SS officers cheered this, several also seemed to be overcome with pleasure at this news...
