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. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Jens Fischer "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

Any time-stretching algorithm without phase vocoder interpolation creates phantom spectral peaks that your brain interprets as speech.
