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.'
'Unit-7 will perform exclusively via encrypted broadcast feeds under the protections of the Public Harmony Acts.'

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.
