Interim Commander Sea Urchin earlier gave this speech to the DDS :
"Fellow DDSers i know we are all in shock this morning. Yesterday Windscorpion decided he had had enough and resigned with immediate effect. I know that is a shock to all of us but the DDS still exists and indeed Windscorpion himself still exists. No one has died. Life carries on.
"I am asking you the DDS to stand fast, hold firm and get on with your jobs. The DDS has a bright future. The fleet is stronger than ever before with ships at the cutting edge and further advances in technology on the way. A powerful and flexible new army is also being developed. The DDS has a network of allies they can rely on and a strategic infrastructure that forms the backbone of the DDS.
"The next few months may have some difficulties but i am confident the professionalism of the DDS will win through. I am not anticipating any major changes in DDS policy on my watch. An election for the post of DDS Commander will be held next year at the earliest convenience."
Sea Urchin also announced that Firefly would take up the role of City Commander of the DDS (in other words be in charge of GHQ), Action Painting would take up command of the 1st Fleet. No Deputy Commander has yet been announced.
