You've got yourself a deal. Be warned though, the Karlack are much like that Scorpion in the story about crossing the river.

Sadly no, but it's done its job in prologuing Elysium and its barbarian wars.

Speaking of which, I have some writing to do.
The Emperor of Mankind walks around in powered armor, and even sleeps in it. You'd have to have one heck of a poison sting

It's not the poison you have to worry about; it's the momentum transfer.

...What about his face? Is his face wearing armor?
He walks around with a Void Shield activated. He can wear a helmet, yes.

Tsk, tsk. Senior Imperial leaders wearing their helmets, female Space Marines... you've probably got paleogeeks around the galaxy crying "HERESY!" on a daily basis.

What? So far all the Imperium is doing is beating up technologically inferior foes here and there.
And a lot of bluster

You Collectors are even more bluster and total lack of mystery.
All you ahve done so far is proved that the Collectors are a bunch of paper tigers.
Cowards. You have practically sissified the Necrons.

Oh I fought the Karlacks in a major conflict, threw in over a million troops, and more ships than what was at Pendleton on the human side alone.
You?
If I wanted to start a major war in the K-Zone sure. But it would be bloody. And I doubt Siege would agree to it.

The thing that one has to remember is that Pax Park was a minor landmark in the capital... and one that a fair chunk of the MiniEcho people in Central Administration Complex happen to have been rather fond of.
Misery loves company, and Dr. Susie can be a very companionable woman at times.

I didn't say it wasn't survivable, I said it wasn't nice.
Are you going to come crying to me because I just said the God-Emperor of Man isn't nice?
Well, I meant for him to be a bastard who just ordered the destruction of entire species at least more than once... The destruction of planets and ecology was to be a collateral...

Yeah, the bit about them hearing about the battle a month later is a bit of an asspull, mainly because I had just remembered that the battle was in June and this scene is set in July when I was almost done. And I didn't want to rewrite everything. Plus, it's not like I know about what's happened since then.
But such are the difficulties of Unreal Time. I figure as a justification Intel and Foreign Affairs probably know sooner. But they're being slow about sharing, at least so far as it comes to when the Grand Admirals hear about it.
Internal politics at work, perhaps?
