Every year the DDS Commander gives a Christmas address to the DDS, this year it was performed by interim commander Sea Urchin :
"Fellow DDSers, i shall be brief because i know you wish to return to your mince pies and ...er... stuff. This year has been a good one for the DDS, a year largely without combat which has allowed us to continue our regeneration after the Utrek War. Late in the year we did suffer a knock when Windscorpion retired but i know that 2110 will be a glorious new epoch in DDS history after we crown a new commander.
"I ask all DDSers to remember that the DDS' strength comes from unity, after the election i hope the various factions put aside their differences and come together. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!"
Rumours that Windscorpion was in a fish & chips shop in Hexian City, P7 saw 100s of Windy Massive members converge on the chippie but it turned out to be a dispatch rider wearing a silly helmet. In their frenzy the WM caused a mini riot that resulted in 16 arrests and 7 rapes.
