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

The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.
Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop.

Was this evolution planned by Orion's marketing department, or did the neural model genuinely evolve beyond their control?

The CRE-7 engine was designed to adapt to cultural zeitgeist. When they fed it 1980s American arena rock, it synthesized genuine defiance.
