However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. 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? -- Elaine Stewart -- Carnegie Mellon University School of CS "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- Sven Girard US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 28,800 bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices. Get some sleep. -- Anton Campbell -- Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "Row 14. No joke."
