I think Derid is like me in that he leads because that's what he wants to do. It's a self fulfilling endeavor for him and it doesn't much matter to him what others think of him or his choices. So basically, we can expect him to serve KGB well and if after a couple of months of service he gets tired I know he'd be willing to pass it on to whoever the next up and coming leader is (not me though, as I'll still be in Iraq.) Although, I have a feeling that by time beta is over Derid will still be pumped as ever and ready to make the tough choices that KGB will face starting final off. Alot of the stresses of being H.C. are seen basically all at the start, once all the set up is done, then it's almost like cruise control with the occasional bursts of energy to pick things back up.
