Windy has held a video conference with Torus and Von Kane as part of his investigation into what happened in the Strawberry Field deployment when a Quasar and Provider were destroyed. Windy is due to arrive on Starbot next week to properly begin the investigation but said he found the preliminary talk useful.
Windy was also able to talk to Von Kane about his resignation. Von Kane has been persuaded to remain in the DDS but at the rank of Captain. He will resume command of SS Velocity when it's repairs are completed. Torus remains the commander of the 4th Fleet for now but it is likely he will be replaced later on, as he is considered a little too junior for the role, but is likely to remain the deputy commander. The Orchid is likely to take over the fleet (she currently commands the 2nd Fleet), Firefly says he is now ready for full service and so will resume command of the 1st Fleet when it returns from Remedia to GHQ, it's current commander Sea Urchin taking over the 2nd Fleet from The Orchid. For completion Knobhead is in command of the 3rd Fleet at Rathun's World.
