El Diablo wins Consul election!

The result was delayed slightly due to some technical issues with datalinks from Xi but everything has now been confirmed, El Diablo has won the 2112 Consul election with 51.1% of the vote! MBH trailed with 43.6%, he said the Dinos would regret their "epic mistake" in voting in someone who would "lose a battle of wits with a piece of cheese" however he said would not challenge the result.

El Diablo said he would lead the Dino Republic through the next phase of its democratic evolution. He said Jimmy would be his deputy which, as Jimmy is also going to be Head of the Senate while Ronald is away next year, means the Liberal Party will have a tight hold on power for the foreseeable future.

• iP Services have placed an order for a brand new Dinomark XT/120w underwater capable spaceship. The ship will replace Windy's lost transport and will be maintained as part of the DDS' Falcon 47A/W fleet though will be operated by iP Services personnel. The ship will be delivered next year.
