"You ladies ready?" asked Aaron as he stood backstage with Kristen, Shizuku and the rest of 7-Star Crossed.
Kristen nodded, and Shizuku gave a thumbs up.
"All right. Now, we've got a few interlopers from the big five - Intel, AMD, Nvidia, TSMC and Samsung - looking into what we've got here. Our stance is we don't give them the time of day. Stick to our presentation notes, and don't get baited into any arguments. Got it?" he said.
"Got it, Master Zakhrov," said Kristen, and Shizuku in unison.
"All right, good luck out there," said Aaron, as James queued up the opening music.
Heavy metal music blasted out of the speakers, reverberating through the hall.
Smoke machines pumped out clouds of smoke, and the stage lights flashed in time to the music.
The smoke cleared to reveal Shizuku and the rest of 7-Star Crossed, gyrating to the music, as the screens behind them flashed with the Sirius Software logo.
