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

At the very end of reel JP-85-X, after 4 minutes of studio leader tape, there's a faint whisper naming June 2025.
Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.

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.

I downloaded the .au files yesterday. Kamome FTP was crawling at 300 cps because everyone on Usenet is hitting it.
