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. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Marta Sokolov | msokolov@u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: 6471 4CF2 2A71 45D8 "Keep the channels open."
