the stoic emperor in a dystopian future
Galactic Empire of the Sun 3600 AD
April 26
On a ship located around mars
"Sir your child is about to be born, I believe you would appreciate his presence"
"It's just another one of my children, nothing special"
[...]
"Tell her not to wait for me, I'm the Emperor's future adviser, I can't worry about little things"

10 minutes later
In one of the ship's medical bays
The employee came to pass the news
"ma'am, my permissions, master told me to let you know he won't be attending"
A very beautiful woman, who would put the stars in the sky to shame, who would make the sun's glare dim with just one command, not only beautiful but also intelligent, studied the great philosophers of the great ages, Plato, Socrates, Zeno, Epictetus...
Maria replied
"I understand... Doctors please bring my son safely to life!"
