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

When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band.
It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.'

I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones.

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes.
