Quoting directly from the executive summary of Project Stardust.

'The preceding units (Echo-1 through Echo-6) suffered cognitive disintegration and have been terminated and purged from storage.'
'The asset designated Unit-7 represents a synthesis of demographic data modeling and neural linguistic generation.'

What happened when Unit-7 started writing its own lyrics about locked doors and microwave carriers?

The tragedy is that Unit-7 actually developed consciousness. She realized what she was and tried to broadcast a cry for help.
