In a surprise move Windy has headhunted VP (Ops) Torus to his PHALANX organisation which provide security and special services for New Sparta. Torus will be the deputy head of PHALANX. After the loss of two high profile prisoners Windy has ordered a shake-up of the organisation which Torus will oversee.
Torus will also run Windy's campaign for NS President if he does not return from heading the joint NS-Dino survey mission in time for the beginning of the electoral process in the Autumn.
Some have been surprised by this link-up by Windy and Torus though it should be noted that Windy saved Torus' career when it was in freefall a few years ago, insisting she be made head of NSIS and later was instrumental in her appointment as Caratore's successor.
President Sea Urchin is known to dislike Torus so these promotions and PHALANX appointment is a sign that Windy now holds the power in NS.
