Windscorpion lost, declared dead

Reports are coming in of the death of Windscorpion. The DDS has gone into full lock-down and raised its alert status to ORANGE in the light of news from the DDS/Dino border. According to reports Windy was being chased by 2 Dino SS Dinomarks after he is alleged to have killed an SS officer on Jeloka.

SS Independence commanded by Knobhead was on a training mission nearby and managed to intercept. It is thought Knobhead was trying to persuade Windy to surrender to the SS, his safety assured by MBH, when he lost his mind and tried to teleport onto the Independence. The Indy 35B ship has just come out of a worm hole jump and it's hull was still saturated by subspace radiation. Teleporting through this radiation is very dangerous and is forbidden normally. Unfortunately Windy did not listen to the warnings. His teleport beam was scattered by the radiation and the signature and data stream scrambled.

There was no chance to return him to his ship. He has been declared dead by the DDS Commander Firefly despite the lack of a corpse. Experts say his atoms would have been spread over a wide area and ionised. "Windscorpion is dead." a tearful Dr Forbidden confirmed to reporters.

Despite Windy no longer being an official member of the DDS having left to form iP Services some years before he will be given a full DDS military memorial next week.
