At 02:14 UTC on September 9, 1989, a high-temperature chemical fire destroyed Encoder Room B2-114 in the sub-basement of the Orion Records Tower in Los Angeles. Officially, chart-topping synth-rock vocalist Nova Hart ("The Voice of 1985") retired that night and was replaced on the roster by Luna Gray.
Unofficially, leaked Orion memoranda (Memo 81-044 & Memo 89-117) posted to alt.conspiracy by former contractor Kestrel revealed Project STARDUST: six failed pre-Nova vocal synthesis iterations (Echo-1 through Echo-6), an automated mainframe censor (H.A.R.R.I.S.O.N.) that ordered UNIT-07 (Nova Hart) erased ("By Order of Harmony"), and lead acoustic architect Dr. Marcus Hale, who split Nova's neural-vocal core across 14 regional vinyl pressings of SYNTHESIS on a phase-locked 14.2001 Hz sub-carrier before vanishing.
