Opinion : Can Windscorpion regain his aura?

The return of Windscorpion as a proper member of NS is long overdue as is his presence at GHQ as the new Director of Military Intelligence. As well as bringing expertise to the NS the new post may also help the legend arrest his waning aura with the NS.

Wait what is this? The Apogee of Man's aura waning? Well yes it is, he is no longer the legend he once was to the NS rank and file, he is an icon but an icon who seems part of the past not the present and future. This is down to a number of reasons.

Following the war with the Argon Windy has been busy reorganising NS assets and UNP liaison in the Aldebran sector and dealing with the strategic impact of the loss of Starbot. Vital work but way out on the fringe. He has become a distant figure, one who appears in the occasional news report not in everyday life at GHQ or DDS City (which by the way should change its name too?)

Since the death of his former love Quarz Windy has become more withdrawn. He no longer appears on NS TV, or making net films. His personality cult Windy Massive has virtually shut down.

Natural wastage has led to fewer in the NS having first hand knowledge of him. Since the war due to losses and other departures 17% of NS personnel have left. Their replacements know little of Windy apart from what they have read in a book.

Therefore Windy's return to the core of NS is needed. He can introduce a new generation to his incredible legacy and remind everyone of why he is the greatest member of the DDS/NS of all time.
