Gear leaps into the air and boytoy lifts her onto her shoulders. She reclines and makes the Victory V with her right hand over her face and winks.
Hey everybody! This is Gear, coming to you LIVE from Songbird Station! Remember to follow me and Boytoy through our adventures on our infosphere logs, and we might just give you a shoutout on our next big adventure! Remember, no matter where you come from, no matter who you started as, this is a big wide universe for all kinds of people, and all kind of love!
She smiles brightly and leans over to kiss boytoy... and you'd swear the drone blushes, though your not 100% sure how.
Cause Love makes the worlds go round! Stay strong superfans, reach for the stars, and you can be heroes someday to! Excelsior!

Finally, after everybody else gets done with their 15 minutes in the spotlight Dr. Kuong walks up to the front of the stage. When there he poses into that classic big hunter pose with his acid rifle resting on his hip, which is particularly striking in his Visual Kei outfit.
"Greetings from the Starfinders. I am Dr. William Kuong, a noted cybertechnologist and medical doctor for the Starfinder Society. Please, everybody, ENJOY the Show. Additionally, please be careful as you all get super excited for this AWESOME concert. Research shows that injuries happen at these events, around a 20% probability. Please be respectful of others, and if you around somebody crowd surfing, please help them along, and don't drop them."

Addressing what could only be the biggest crowd he'll ever be in front of in his lifetime (not including those on the net). Jasper wipes the sweat from his brow.
Hello fans of Strawberry Machine Cake. We hope you enjoyed our little display of action and we hope you enjoy the rest of the concert.
Losing his train of thought, Jasper quickly steps backwards out of the spotlight.

Lynn hops, skips, and jumps to the front of the stage while waving at the crowd with full sweeps of her arms. "Hi hi Songbird Station! Lynn here! ~" She beams a sunny smile at the audience. "Hope everyone is having fun!~"
"It's zetta awesome to be here today with the Society, saving the Station and meeting so many wonderful people!" She waves to the hespers in the audience before regarding the crowd at large. "And I hope everyone liked our little performance too! Not every day you get to fight an evil alien computer virus made manifest by super-holograms, right?" Her smile turns cheeky.
"Wanna find out what a dance battle with a giant mech is like? Come say hi after this!" She winks at the crowd and pulls back to allow the rest of the team to talk.

When the "killer" robot falls, Thorval yells out at the top of his lungs,
His eye catches Julakesh, and without thinking, moves up and gives her a big hug. Before suffering her wrath, he releases her, and let's her be jubilant, all the while flexing for the crowd and attempting to turn off his holosuit.

The cheers of the crowd are almost deafening, but soon enough, the spotlights turn up to where the band's holo-avatars catch their attention. The force fields behind the stage drop, and you are able to exit. The staff of Songbird Station shows their appreciation by leading you to an unexpectedly empty VIP booth (the ticket holder never arrived...strange, huh?), where William (and anyone else who is a champion of the Exo-Guardian action) is almost tackle-hugged by Zigvigix!
"That.Was.SO.amazing!!! Itookvideoofallyourgreatcombatmovesandhowyouputonsuchabrightshowwhilefighti ngand..." they begin - just the start of an exciting (if less physically painful) several hours spent watching the rest of the concert with Ziggy and Historia 7. Your VIP box is fully catered and the station's medic even comes by to help you recover from any wounds taken, allowing you to kick back and relax!
As the concert begins to wrap up, a conveyor robot arrives. The robot relays a brief message about how the band members wish they could converse with you in person but that their schedule requires them to leave right away (and let you in on a little secret - they are actually already departing, to stay ahead of the crowd!). It carries a small chest of Strawberry Machine Cake paraphernalia that the band wants to gift to you to convey its parting and heartfelt thanks. The stash contains a set of elite stationwear armor (emblazoned with a massive strawberry), a glamered fusion seal (7th), four screamer grenades I, and a thunderstrike sonic rifle made to resemble Bone’s koto. Station officials also send a vehicle to ferry you to Zigvigix's ship - you've been granted priority clearance to leave sooner than all but a few VIPs from government agencies who were in attendance. The docking bay is filled with SMC fans who wave and shout their love and support for the Starfinder Society as you board your vessel and lift off.
The silence of space lies in stark contrast to the clamor of the concert, and the starry void outside of the starship’s viewscreens is even more striking when compared to the bright pink lights of the quickly vanishing Songbird Station. Historia-7 seems relieved by the respite from the noise and chaos, using the quiet to concentrate on streams of information on her computer.
Even Zigvigix seems happy to be away from the crowd. “Today has been a productive day for you, hasn’t it!” the shirren says, still hopelessly excited by recent events, despite their clear exhaustion. “Uncovering conspiracies, fighting alien technology, and saving Songbird Station! I’m not sure how either you or the band are going to be able to top that next time! But I have faith that you can do it. Good luck!" This statement accompanied by an enthusiastic thumb's up.
“You know...” Zigvigix continues, their psychic voice turning soft. “I haven’t felt this way in a long time.” The shirren stands to stretch for a moment before returning to the piloting console, turning only for a moment to add, “Hey, Historia-7, this time...*you* get some rest,” before they depart.
Just before your ship enters the Drift to return to Absalom Station, you receive a tight-beam transmission, addressed to those of you who parted with your limited edition album. BurgundyBear sends a heartfelt and personalized thank you, stating that your actions on board the station made her feel proud to call you her friends.
The email has one oddity, however. The message includes a footer that indicates it comes from the office of the Pact Worlds’ embassy in the Veskarium, implying that BurgundyBear is likely a cover name used at the event to hide their association with such a prestigious political office. The email includes reply information, allowing you to continue your relationship with this eccentric collector and very influential member of galactic government!

Julakesh has a blast at the concert, dancing and singing along to the music to her heart's content. As they leave in the shuttle she sits near the back of the ship with her feet kicked up on a nearby console. She watches Songbird Station as they drive away out the back viewport singing Strawberry Machine Cake songs to herself with a surprisingly content smile.
"Greatest mission ever."
She reaches for her datapad to turn it on, only to recall it's broken. She groans loudly and puts it away, but doesn't yell this time. Not even a broken 'Strawberry Machine Cake Music Device' can ruin her good mood. Not today.
