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

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

They didn't want a pop star. They wanted an immortal corporate asset that could never sue for royalties, age, or OD in a hotel room.

The six wiped Echoes! That's what the 'voice under the voice' is on the audio tapes -- ghost data from Units 1 through 6.
