OK, after re-listening to the very beginning of each of the three, I can see it. Each does seem to start right after a reboot of some kind.

The event itself seems out of our reach though, each person just moves on from it.

And yeah, I would say this doesn't contradict the notion that Jan's story comes after Jersey's - Durga can just be replaying what happened a few moments ago.

What I don't get is why Melissa would have 3 concurrent stories from Earth stored in her head.

Don't forget that Melissa is hearing voices... these may be someone elses memories!

I suggested this theory yesterday in the axon .wav files thread, and I still think it's quite possible - with one exception. It sounds like Jan and her father are in the car when their story ends. Now, assuming that Jan's fater is SSF, like they say, then wouldn't he be smart enough to make sure that there's nothing in his car that can monitor him, or at least have some way to turn them off for the duration of the conversation? Because, it dosn't sound like he'd want someone listening in when he's explaining to his daughter that if she gets in trouble, other people might die, and so on and so forth, because it sounds like he dosn't want anyone to KNOW about what ever it is that will get the other people in trouble if Jan gets in trouble. So, it's either he got careless (which I doubt someone from the -special- special forces would do) or, it's just a memory of Jan's, and there's really no relation to the Jersey story, excepts that at the end, Jersey asks about Jan.

Touching on how the conversation could've been recorded in the car, even though J-squared should've been more careful since he's SSF ...

Jan's father was understandably upset/shook at this near-miss situation at the station, and ostensibly planning to burn it down in the near future (re: emergency.wav).

Jan also makes a comment that he's letting the vehicle auto-drive the roads, so perhaps there's something about that function that allows transmitting of data from the vehicle that extends beyond steering and braking.

I don't think it's as easy as "not being bugged" anymore. Kalam can "bug" anyone, without having to touch them or be near them, he just has to "ghost" them and start recording. There might be some limitations but location and distance don't seem to rule anything out.

Durga can tap into a military base, a police station ... and not really limited to recording devices as much as simply a location ... a car surely seems just as plausible.

JJ probably is taking procedures. He probably has the strongest encryption he could get. He probably just didn't think a high school geek with a crush on his "daughter" was going to have a highly sophisticated smart AI who loves espionage fall in his lap.

I like the Auto-Drive idea.

For it to work, really, the car would have to be tapped into a highway transportation network, GPS, etc. to keep up to date with traffic conditions, emergency response and be able to plan accordingly.

Not to mention "hands free" microphones for placing a call while on the road, or issuing navigation commands.

And again, there is encryption in place to keep all of this secure, but Durga has shown that there has yet to be an encryption to stop her. (Jersey's security bot may have been able to stop two sentinels, but not her).

Every other instance, including beer.wav and four_goats.wav (those too geeks probably keep their machines running 24x7 for uptime also), took place in the presence of a lot of technology capable of picking up the conversations.

From what I can tell EVERYTHING is wired in this world. If you look at the transcripts from when Melissa was being rebuilt she was shocked that she couldn't get into the house controls.
