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. I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- === Tobias Nakamura === Dept of Electrical Engineering, ClariNet Communications Corp "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
