In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse.

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.

Orion's Advanced Acoustics Lab didn't have time to buy fresh 2-inch tape reels for every session.
