It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Dave Oliveira -- Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik "Hardware is temporary.

If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices. Get some sleep. -- Emi Hernández -- Demon Internet Services UK "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
