Why did Orion push Luna Gray so aggressively in 1990 right after Nova disappeared?

The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit.
The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers.

Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act?

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel.

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

Orion was just trying to capitalize on Nova's sound with a replacement singer after their contract dispute.
