Following an investigation by former DDS Commander Witchdoctor and discussion with the NS Politburo (sans Torus of course) it has been decided that the former Director of Operations (and Deputy Commander) Torus was at some fault for the fiasco a few weeks ago. NS Commander Knobhead acknowledged that Torus could not be blamed for failings lower down the command ladder however she had to take responsibility.
Torus will take over NS North which ironically was last led by the traitor Von Kane. She will report directly to Zeppelin who is the head of NS armed forces. Caratore will take over being Director of Operations full time though Sea Urchin will be Deputy Commander. Torus expressed regret for the events of the last few weeks but accepted her demotion and pledged to continue to serve.
NS+ Chief Stella was also under investigation and was also found to have made mistakes though is likely to avoid any direct punishment. Instead Knobhead has said NS+ will be disbanded with the internal security and intelligence roles separated. Stella will continue to lead the new NS Internal Security (NSIS) service while Director of Intelligence Windscorpion will lead the new NS Security Service (NS3).
The changes to NS+ will not take place until after the pirate emergency has ended however, until then Stella will continue to run NS+ as usual but with direct oversight by Knobhead.
