ETA: And oh, yes... there is also a sub-plot about a position among the group called 'Center Nova'... thing is, all the Center Novas have this weird tendency to disappear and nobody knows where they go. This is probably gonna be resolved in the second season, slated to come out sometime in 2013.

ETA = "Estimated Time of Arrival"? [grin] (Or, I guess, "Edit to Add" - I've never really seen that used.)
'Center Nova' made me think of 'Spinal Tap', for some reason:

and their problem with drummers dying in strange circumstances. 'Central' = 'Spinal'? Maybe a bit like JKR HP curse on the Defence teaching position...
'Spinal Tap', Fenspace version, could be fun. Performers as remote drones of AIs, and with a handwavium-caused drummer issue? [grin]
