Windscorpion speech to the DDS

Following the victory at Remedia Prime Windscorpion gave the following speech to the DDS :

"Greetings young men, it is OK. You don't have to get up for me... yet. We have dealt the Utrek a decisive blow. Their invasion of our Remedian allies has been finally repulsed and their forces are in disarray. Now we are conducting negotiations with them for their surrender. These negotiations may go on for some time.

"Until we conclude them and achieve a lasting peace then the DDS must stand at alert. I know a lot of you have been fighting nearly continuously since the Zone scum attacked us earlier in the year but I ask you to be professionals and maintain your edge. We have a truce with the Utrek not a cessation of hostilities. If the Utrek do not come to our demands we may have to... encourage them to think again.

"The DDS learned a key lesson from the Zone war, we must not be soft. We must be proactive in protecting our interests. From now on the DDS will be the ones that push the intergalactic geo-political agenda. Rival powers have tried to push us around and found to their eternal sorrow the error of that strategum.

"The Bear has awoken. The galaxy should fear."
