I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer.

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.

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

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