Firefly confirmed that he had been resurrected by the same method Windy had years before via a parallel universe though did not elaborate. Firefly called on the DDS to remain calm, "The next few days may be tense but we must remain calm and keep vigilant. There may be loyalists to the old regime still at large, i call upon these to stand down or face the consequences." The consequences may be severe as Firefly said SFX had been appointed to head a special Prowler unit dedicated to hunting down remaining Hoods and AP loyalists.
Firefly said that the alert status had been reduced to AMBER and the priority was to get GHQ back up and running as normal. The base had suffered a lot of damage including the destruction of an entire tower block. The total number of casualties from yesterday (including Hoods) has been estimated at over 12,000 but may rise. As to the Hoods Firefly said the organisation was banned from now on and surviving Hoods would be suspended pending vetting. "If they can prove loyalty to the DDS and not to AP's twisted vision then they may be allowed to stay if not then they will be kicked out."
Windy said that he was not rejoining the DDS but his organisation iP Services would become more tightly linked to the DDS. He would have a vote on the new Politburo Firefly was setting up to replace the old DDS Ruling Council. More details on this and other changes to the DDS would be announced later on.
- One further announcement was made following the press conference (Firefly admitted he forgot). Knobhead and Sea Urchin have been made joint-Deputy DDS Commanders as well as retaining their roles as Director Of Operations and Director Of Technology.
