Director of Technology Sea Urchin has used his monthly media briefing to say he is concerned on the direction the DDS is taking. "The PRB attack is in danger of being used as an excuse for authoritarianism that is similar to the old suffocating Rotarios regime. Extra security is of course necessary but we need to be careful we do not go too far in the other extreme."
"The DDS works best when initiative and youthful energy are harnessed and exploited not crushed under the iron fist of conformity!" he went on, "The Hoods need to remain in the background and let the DDS get on with doing what it does best."
Director of Communications Hibiscus laughed off Sea Urchin's concerns, "The Hoods are here to protect professionalism not crush any professional spirit. I wonder also what kind of 'youthful energy' Sea Urchin wants to exploit?" A clear reference there being made to Sea Urchin's previous indiscretions with young women under his command.
Hibiscus continued, "Rotarios is dead, no one is remaking his discredited old regime. The New DDS Project is dedicated to personal growth, professional achievement and enhanced security."
