Spent the weekend analyzing the reel box scans and audio recovered from Akihabara last month.

Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.
The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.

Kamome sysop says there were three more reels in the box that haven't been dumped yet. Keep checking the FTP!

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect.

Stop hammering kamome! The sysop posted that the phone bill for the relay is already astronomical.

Voice Print GEN-3 means there were two earlier generations. What were GEN-1 and GEN-2?
