Synergy is a highly sophisticated A.I. computer and hologram projector designed by Emmett Benton (Jerrica's and Kimber's late father) to be the ultimate audio/visual entertainment synthesizer.
Biography
Synergy was the life work of Emmett Benton, started four months after Jacqui's death, designed to link music and three-dimensional images for the ultimate audio/visual entertainment synthesizer/computer. He used his late wife's music and likeness to program Synergy's voice and personality, but couldn't bear to make her look too much like her, so he provided Synergy with her own image and persona.
Emmett originally kept the project a secret so he could later patent the technology; however, upon completion he decided not to obtain the patents, as her powers could be very dangerous if she fell in the wrong hands. When he was diagnosed with an unknown, terminal illness, he set up Synergy to be a friend, surrogate mother and guide to his girls, and programmed Synergy to reveal herself to Jerrica if he was unable to give her the earrings in person.
Without any funding from Starlight Music to support Starlight House, Jerrica, Kimber and their (foster) sisters were forced to find funds on their own. When they found out about Synergy, they formed The Holograms to enter a music contest being held by Eric Raymond. Jerrica had to take the persona of Jem, as Eric had it out for her and she herself looked too ordinary for a front girl.
Synergy is kept a secret from the world by Jerrica and the Holograms. She was originally hidden in a secret room at the Starlight Drive-In but was later moved to the Starlight Mansion, kept in a secret room hidden behind a holographic wall.
Personality
Emmett Benton invented Synergy to be a surrogate mentor, friend and mother figure to Jerrica and Kimber. As revealed in Out of the Past, she was programed with the personality, appearance and voice based on the likeness of Jacqui Benton. However, Emmett couldn't bear to make her appearance exactly like her's, so he instead provided Synergy with her own image and persona.
Synergy can generate realistic holographic images, as much as six hundred per minute without power loss, and is light-years ahead of anything seen before, even by government technicians. She can project life-like holographic images and sounds through small, remote projectors in the form of Jem's star-shaped earrings. She can also come out from the computer in the form of a holographic avatar. She is very wise and always helps out the Holograms in any bad situation. While Synergy usually follows orders, she is able to and has taken matters into her own hands, such as offering Jerrica advice on Rio in the form of an oracle when Jerrica declined to listen to Synergy herself.[1]
