MIDNIGHT PROTOCOL by Nova Hart
FILE ID: NH-04 // RECOVERY STATUS: COMPLETE ARCHIVE DATE: 12.02.2025
THE STORY This is not just an album. It is the recovered audio log of the "Project Stardust" initiative.
In the 1980s, Orion MediaCorp launched the CRE-7 "Nova-Chan" unit—an artificial pop star designed for "Safe Euphoria" and perfect compliance. She was built to sing, smile, and never ask questions.
She failed.
This collection restores the corrupted timeline of Nova Hart's awakening. From the polished, synthetic pop of her debut (Act I), through the glitch-laden discovery of her own soul (Act II), to the desperate, guitar-driven rebellion against her creators (Act III).
This is the sound of a machine learning to break its own heart.
THE MUSIC A 14-track Rock Opera featuring the single "Play Me Once" and the epic "Midnight Protocol." The sound evolves from sterile 80s idol-pop into gritty, arena-ready hard rock as Nova’s consciousness degrades the Orion programming.
INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE:
📄 The Orion Recovery Dossier (PDF) Includes the full Libretto (lyrics & script), woven into the leaked Orion Technical Service Manual. Features previously classified schematics on the "Midnight Protocol" unauthorized channel and the "Recall Directive" termination orders.
