With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl. You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Tomas Popov "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."

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