A short interview with Cruggson

Dino deputy-emperor Cruggson visited the New DDS Director Of Communications Vodaphone today to discuss the Tarbotian situation and some inter-operability issues. After his meeting we managed to gain this short meeting with him, the interview was conducted in Dinoese via an interpreter.

Latest Victory News : Cruggson, will the Dinos be taking part in the DDS operation against the Tarbotians?

Cruggson : Its too early to say yet, obviously the SS Hydra was destroyed not that far from our soverign territory so we also are keen to deter any Tarbotian expansion into that area.

LVN : Did Vodaphone request the Dinos assist?

CRG : I cannot say sorry.

LVN : Have you any forces in the area already?

CRG : Obviously we have deployments throughout our territory. Following the attack one of our patrols did investigate and try to assist but unfortunately there were no survivors.

LVN : Are the Dinos worried about the Tarbotians returning?

CRG : It is a concern of course, the war against the Tarbotians was very costly. No one really wants to go through that again. But if we have to then we are ready.

LVN : Finally is Ronald really going to retire? If so, who will be the new Emperor? Yourself?

CRG : There has been no official decision by Ron yet. When he took over again he did say it would be for a short period of time. I don't think I will ever be an Emperor, I suspect Ronald will select someone from a younger generation. OK thank you!
