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. I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Andrei Oliveira SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 28,800 bps "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices. Get some sleep. -- Marisol Popov Zyxel U-1496E @ 14,400 bps "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
