The high-velocity molecular emission of the Orion Molecular Cloud has been sampled using a rotational spectral line of the SO molecule. The resulting profile has been reproduced using only the known large-scale properties of the gas and applications of published theoretical calculations. No new physical mechanism is required; observed rotation and conservation of angular momentum are sufficient to reproduce the line profile. The resulting physical state is consistent with known physical properties. This solution is not unique, but indicates the strengths and weaknesses of such a model for interpretation of Orion as well as the similarities of alternative explanations.
