A contact at a Los Angeles law firm handling Orion's bankruptcy liquidation leaked an internal memo from 1981.

'The preceding units (Echo-1 through Echo-6) suffered cognitive disintegration and have been terminated and purged from storage.'
'Mandate: To eliminate the financial volatility and human liabilities inherent in musical talent.'

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

This reads like science fiction fan fiction written by someone who watched Blade Runner too many times.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
