Firefly declares week of mourning for Windy

The DDS will observe a week of mourning for Windscorpion, who was lost in a teleport accident at the DDS-Dino border. DDS Commander Firefly said that the DDS owed its existence and survival to his brother. "In the DDS' darkest hours it was Windy who showed us the light. When the DDS looked at oblivion it was Windy who changed our course to one of hope." he said in a brief media conference at GHQ.

A memorial will be held at DDS City on Proxima 7 on Thursday. Various heads of state are expected to attend. The UNP will also mark a day of mourning on Monday. The DDS alert status is being kept on its highest non-conflict level for the time being.

• iP Services has suspended operations for the time being, SFX is the official heir to Windy in charge of the organisation but he is recovering from severe injuries to his lower abdomen (cause unknown). Until he is fit to resume duties it has been thought best to suspend operations.
