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.
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.

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