Coincidence? A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09).

Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas.
The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room.

Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever.

My uncle worked in commercial real estate in Westwood. He said Federal Marshals sealed the 14th floor and basement of Orion Tower for three weeks after the fire.
