Sea Urchin is understood (after discussions with The Orchid and Knobhead) to have instructed DDS Research to prioritise defence against info-weapons. This has been taken as a sign that the DDS think war with the Bolitic is becoming increasingly likely.
In fact one DDS group are predicting the late Summer as a possible window for a Bolitic attack. The Xeno Research Group, a thinktank based at GHQ, have looked at published records (supplemented with intelligence from Dino sources) for current and pending Bolitic maintenance and refit work for their fleet and say that virtually the entire Bolitic fleet will be available in late July or early August (although there is scheduled work for after these dates).
