Ronald promises greater security

Ronald made a major speech in Dino-Town last night as part of his election campaign for the Consulship (not that the result is in doubt in any way). Nearly a year since the Zone attack that killed Ronald's wife Holisai and his daughter Crystal among others Ronald said that the pain has not lessened. "Everyday i wake up and feel the loss and i feel the hate. Hate at the Zones but also myself for allowing the Dino Republic to become weak enough for such an outrage to be a possibility."

Ronald promised a root and branch review of security on Dino-Land and a beefed up self-defence system. "Never again will Dino-Land become the front line, never again will civilians need to feel fear!"

Ronald did not go into specifics however but as SS Commander he has already begun a brutal crackdown of non-Dino rights. The Clone government has protested at the treatment of two of its citizens who are understood to have been beaten and raped by an SS unit who mistook them for Zones.
