It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Graham Kang | gkang@u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: BD99 4F1A F1BF 92D3 "Keep the channels open."
