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 Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior. Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever. -- Dave Hughes US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 28,800 bps "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
