Green flicked an eye briefly at the marked targets on the battlesuit’s synched HUD.
It didn’t take long for that same flick to translate into a movement of the Archangel’s right arm with the Advent, pointing it straight at the trench where Wolf was. A few milliseconds of calibration and attunement was all it took.
It wasn’t the scaled-down rail cannon that fired, though. Rather, what did was a underslung barrel. A bright teal pulse of light erupted from that lower barrel, washing over Wolf in an unpleasant tingling sensation.
The effect on the Scorpion’s Hand soldiers on the trench was much more severe, as they seemed to disintegrate into light particles in horrified, then agonized screams.
Already Green had continued fighting, Arachne’s mech only having done insignificant damage to the Archangel’s shields, which had already recharged back to full.
“Fucking Hell, Green, what the fuck was that?!” Wolf asked, as more SH soldiers came pouring in, their rifles flashing with light. Gritting his teeth, Wolf threw a grenade, catching the conscripts in front of him.
“You know what, never mind.” Wolf muttered, “First weapon on my list of what should be made illegal… Just in the morality of it.”
Eventually, the incoming attack ended, with the mechs and conscripts turning tail, and running.
Green’s Archangel fired one last shot from its Advent, the Fleet Admiral watching through the twin-synched HUD as the hypervelocity slug hit a fleeing mech dead on, reducing it to shrapnel and its pilot to bloody mist. And then another distant hill to rubble.
Once the enemy had fully retreated, Yellow steadily collapsed the shield dome she’d been generating in a dissipating cloud of gold particles.
Floating down beside Wolf, she waited as the massive GDI battlesuit marched over to her and Wolf, then crouched down.
Out of the cockpit hopped Green, his helmet opening back up as he looked at Wolf in his usual always-serious expression.
“You were asking about something earlier, Emperor?”

“Unlike you, whelp, I once walked the same ground as your idol . I breathed the same air as him. And I tell you this, without lie or artifice. He never wanted to become what you have made him! He did not wish to be your god-thing. He abhorred such ideals! The slavery of your crippled, blind Imperium would sicken him, if he had eyes to see it.”
– Fabius Bile, to Blood Angels sergeant Rafen, on the “God”-Emperor of Mankind.
So I have a folder full of these, but here are some of my favorite Emperor moments I’ve collected from If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device series. Feel free to use them to express the Emperor’s Will or to just have a snappy comeback to whatever idiocy you have to put up with today.
