The march of progress tends to promote pure utility, which often threatens the art and proud traditions of humanity's history. So much of the early terraforming age was built on mere survival that many, particularly non-dominant cultures across Earth, feared that their customs would be lost, scattered and forgotten in the emptiness of space. And while the scientists and spacefarers did little to reassure them, a rising star of the Horizon Corporation named Ida Ayu Laksmi Dewi saw an opportunity to appeal to customers worldwide by celebrating their rich heritage.Dewi grew up on Bali, an island for which tourism made up a significant chunk of the economy. This is owed not only to the island's beautiful beaches and landscapes, but also to its many temples and cultural customs which have delighted visitors for centuries. Ida served as a tour guide early in her career, and was thus instilled with pride and an abiding love for her homeland. After some time she sought her own travel, but rather than opting for the cultural hotspots of the Western world such as New York or Paris, Dewi sought out the hidden gems of smaller nations such as Nepal, Peru, and Ethiopia. She became enamored with the idea of giving these countries an international "marketing makeover" to boost their profiles among would-be travelers, and while passing through Mombasa she was put in touch with Horizon CEO Appolo Matiba, who took quite a shine to her ideas and enthusiasm.As a Director of Travel & Tourism for Horizon Corp, Dewi promoted universal appreciation of the customs, foods, and architecture of international cultures which had gone overlooked for generations, and in doing so, boosted the local economies of those nations. She'd assumed this would be her life from now on, but Nubia Matiba approached her with a very unexpected proposition to take charge of the cultural heritage programs in new Horizon settlements throughout the solar system. It took great pains to leave behind the planet she had spent a lifetime celebrating, but as Horizon's new VP of Cultural Preservation, Dewi plans to ensure that the traditions of the past are guided to new worlds, and into the ever-changing future.
