Let's settle the 'voice under the voice' rumor once and for all.

However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse.
It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.'

Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled?

I tried this on my Sound Blaster 16 using a custom DSP resampler. The whispered syllables are 100% there.

It's not pareidolia. The speech envelope matches phoneme transitions perfectly.
