It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Emi Suzuki -- Stanford University Computer Systems Lab "Marcus is not one man."

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