Let's settle the 'voice under the voice' rumor once and for all.

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.'

Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled?

Listen to the lyric: 'The hatch is open, let the echoes breathe.' She was literally singing about the prototypes that came before her.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
