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

In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials.
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?

Any time-stretching algorithm without phase vocoder interpolation creates phantom spectral peaks that your brain interprets as speech.

Listen to the lyric: 'The hatch is open, let the echoes breathe.' She was literally singing about the prototypes that came before her.
