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.'

Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled?

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes.

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