However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Takeshi Dubois *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
