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. They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24. -- Mathieu Johansson US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 14,400 bps "Row 14. No joke."

Nodes 11 through 14 lost their logbooks in that fire. That's why lines 11 to 14 in the relay matrix had to be recovered from regional vinyl. -- Ines Nakamura "Marcus is not one man."
