The new NS Head of Communications Hibiscus has given the New Year message to New Sparta.
"Fellow New Spartans, we now enter the new year of 2121. We will continue to enhance our defensive capabilities in the face of emerging and developing threats. Threats which come from a variety of sources and a variety of forms, in the last year especially the threats have been biological. NS' DNA Scanning Agency was one of our biggest achievements in 2120 and we will continue to facilitate a full spectrum grid of response vectors.
"I can exclusively announce that NS will add a fifth exercise to it's schedule this year. This will replace the floating exercises. This new exercise will concentrate on bio-warfare, terrorism and asymmetric threats. More details will be released later on. This will be just part of NS' continuing development and holistic self-actualisation.
"The new year will also end with a new president. As we know President Windscorpion will not stand again, the election for his replacement will take place in November. So there is much to look forward to this year. Happy new year."
