To most people's surprise, especially Torus herself, President Sea Urchin has promoted Torus to the new Vice-President Operations replacing the disgraced Caratore. Torus is therefore again the defacto deputy to the NS leader. She held this position before but was demoted largely due to Sea Urchin disliking her. This about face is therefore a bit of a surprise.
NSIS chief Stella will replace Torus as head of NS Intelligence and report directly to the Vice-President Intelligence Windscorpion. It is thought that Sea Urchin has also granted Windscorpion extra powers and will be joint deputy along with Torus.
