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

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

Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands?

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

Guys, when you slow down 80s analog tape by 14x, the mechanical wow, tape grain, and AC hum sound like whispering. It's acoustic pareidolia.

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes.
