"I must make haste... I must complete the rebel archive... Stardate May 14th 2304. Although I have yet to discover the exact date on which music died, it is clear to me that an ancient entertainment phenomenon known as 'Pop Idol' (In newer versions this was changed to X-factor) played a central role.

Culture imploded, the Globalsoft corporation seized its opportunity, and the age of the Ga Ga had dawned."
