The palace had a small theater used exclusively by the emperor when he wanted to rest and unwind.
At that moment, he was fully engrossed. The Gephran cultural exchange delegation had shown open disdain for everything in the Federation. In the words of the delegation leader, The Baylor Federation’s culture is as worthless as cow dung—can’t even stand upright.
