I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer.

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.'

I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones.

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