Dr Forbidden, the head of DDS Research, gave this short interview with New DDS LVN's reporter Carl Vincent before he went off on his vacation to Ibiza.
Carl Vincent : Dr Forbidden, your announcement of the Long Range Frigate is very interesting. But don't you worry that the DDS is over extending itself with the Terran Sea, Isometric 3, D-X, Pentekonter and now LRF all in production or development at the same time?
Dr Forbidden : Not really as we made some considerable cost savings with the cancellation of the Sparta cruiser, and should be able to sell the surplus Quasars for 6.7 billion.
CV : But the DDS has a total debt now of over 50 billion zarks.
DF : True but it is manageable debt and the DDS has increased it's cash flow dramatically.
CV : Now our readers have become very interested in you Dr Forbidden, you have become a bit of a cult figure amongst our readership. How did you become head of DDS Research?
DF : Its not a long story, my rise to the top has been rather quick. I graduated from Birmingham University at the age of 21, my degree in space engineering. I also have a Masters in space research and media studies at Promixa 7 Central University. I joined the DDS 5 years ago to take up a post in the DDS Research Group. I became it's head 6 months ago after Dr Unknown's... unfortunate arrest for crimes against children.
CV : So are you from Terra?
DF : Yes, I was born in the People's Democratic Republic of Wales but moved to England after the nuclear exchange between Wales and the Kingdom Of Cornwall. I now call Proxima 7 my home though. Once you are tired of Hexian City you must be tired of life!
CV : Away from the DDS what do you like to do?
DF : Clubbing and women. Thats why I'm to Ibiza innit? I also like stamp collecting.
CV : When will the readers be able to see you? They are very curious about your looks.
DF : Soon, I believe some new official photographs are to be taken soon.
CV : Finally where do you see the future of DDS warship design?
DF : Smaller ships of great firepower and performance. OK I must go, Ibiza and the fleshpots await!
