The Western Alliance and the Republic of China wanted to bring the Hyades Cluster into our world of human rights and democratic elections and equality for all. But they underestimated how foreign those concepts were in the Hyades. They had forgotten what it was like to be taught from the moment you were born that some people were more equal than others. Dawn DeMarco was our answer to that. She walked into their world as a visiting royal, a princess of a high family, and she inhabited a place in the highest caste the locals could accept at a gut level. Then she valued their opinions and suggestions as if they were equals without requiring that they stand up as equals to people they’d been trained to never stand up to. Dawn made the first crack in generations of programming by simply treating them well and allowing them to place her in a position they could comfortably stand next to.
