Professor Wayne King-Meiouf of the University of ProximaHow can you replace the irreplaceable?
The death of Windscorpion has sent shock-waves through the DDS, UNP and beyond. He liked to style himself the Apogee of Man and in many ways he was. The focus of resistance against alien conquest. The icon of mankind's courage. The lord of DDS warfare.
But now he is dead. Of course everyone dies one day but no one expected Windy to go the way he did, seemingly out of control, reckless beyond measure, virtually committing suicide. But apparently he had been in decline for some time, since he had left the DDS according to reports. Despite setting up iP Services he struggled to find a role for himself. There are rumours of heavy drinking and increasingly erratic behaviour, screaming rows with Firefly and many many sex crimes.
The word is he finally pushed his luck too far and paid the ultimate price. Well thats not the Windy we should remember. We should instead remember...
- The Windy who led the DDS war on Randalf 74 that cost the Clones a million dead. Although the Clones were ultimately triumphant they have never again mounted a mass operation like that.
- The Windy who commanded the DDS fleet, heavily outnumbered, that destroyed the Clone fleet that attacked in an attempt to end the war once and for all.
- The Windy that led the DDS to triumph against the Tarbotians, Utrek (twice!) and the ABBOs.
- The Windy that finally ended the evil of Rotarios and AP's depraved New DDS regime.
- The Windy whom millions admire as the Apogee of Man.
Remember him on Thursday, we'll never see his like again...
