Very intriguing that Imperiatrix starts off with an explosion. Impressive part of the chapter is when K9 Mark I detected a bomb. This scene was played out as well as its immediate aftermath. Too bad K9 Mark I was among those killed in this blast. Whether coincidental or not Mark I's demise came some eight months before the demise of Mark III in a similar manner in the Doctor Who TV series episode School Reunion.
The events of Imperiatrix takes place in the midst of a presidential election. Coincidentally I have been listening to this just as a certain presidential election is about to take place in the real world in the US.

Part 2: What an exploding end to the second season and who is revealed to be the ultimate baddie here. Also quite a shock on the truth of what happened to Andred in the previous chapter Insurgency.
