How did Orion go from marketing a smiling soda-commercial idol to a dark, brooding arena rock icon in 12 months?

By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.
The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.

I still have the 1984 'Sparkle Soda' 7-inch single. The contrast with 'Threshold' is mind-bending.

Yes, always blonde! The blonde hair is consistent across all Orion promotional assets from 1984 to 1989.
