In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Tyler Hernández -- Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.

If you stare at static on a TV long enough you see faces. If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices.
