Interim Commander Sea Urchin has ruled himself out of standing in the forthcoming election to decide the new DDS Commander following the retirement of Windscorpion. It is thought he has come to an agreement with The Orchid as to his role in the new DDS administration if The Orchid was to win the election as seems increasingly likely.
Sea Urchin has in fact called on the election to be bought forward to end the uncertainty. The Orchid has not commented on this, she is currently preparing to outlay her manifesto to the DDS. The Windy Massive has meanwhile appealed to a strong rival to stand against her.
