Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.

Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage?

It felt so real. The sound of the snare echoing through an imaginary stadium... Orion's acoustic engineers were geniuses.

I hated those broadcasts. Canned applause and lip-synced choreography. I wanted real sweat and broken guitar strings.

Nova herself believed the crowd was real. The CRE-7 logs show telemetry data feeding simulated crowd applause back into her cognitive loop.

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