Something interesting in the Equinox source code:

the sun makes clearer
the sentence continues
I can't manipulate sound files and I doubt this is helpful at all, but when I read that first line, I instantly thought of Pink Floyd and Comfortably Numb. I know previously they seem to like to include backwards songs in transmissions so I thought I'd throw that first reaction I had out there.

interesting! I kind of read "sentence" like a prison sentence. Sort of like they have been sentenced to eek out their existence where they are.

Hawk(HI)--also immediately thought prison sentence. Yet, I've begun playing with the audio file and imo at approx. 6 seconds in there's a singular voice speaking about one sentence long.
I'm just not skillz enough to isolate it. **wang of a headache from trying**

I think it says, "[Betsy?] was talking to that machine" I'm not sure about the name. Sometimes it sounds like Trixie or Mitzi. Someone pls help with the name!
*feels amandel's pain about headache*

The mp3 was replaced with a new version, the woman talking is much clearer now.

00.06: ????
00.13: do you receive my dream
00.18: they arrange unbelief and disbelief
00.26: they burry me underneath for senior amnesia
00.50: I need further (?)
That's what I can make out without playing with the audio. I'm prolly way off though
EDIT: I really can't make out the text at 00.06 but I think it has nothing to do with the rest.
EDIT2: She needs freedom

Thanks for the new audio Buxx. I think it says "severe" not senior amnesia. I'm trying to make out the first part, but I think you've got the rest of it. I thought I heard "copy cat" in the first part but am not sure. Also, I think it might say "I range" instead of "arrange" but am not positive.

There's something about copycat at the start. I think this is the text after listening to both versions:
Quote:
Do you receive my dream?
I rage unbelief and disbelief.
They buried me underneath the city around me.
I need freedom.
Dream is the only word about which I'm unsure because it doesn't make sense to me.

Could be wrong but I am pretty sure she is saying "Do you receive my plea?" not "dream"...

Thanks hawk! Yes, plea makes perfect sense. Nicely done. I'm still curious about why they made different versions of the audio file, though.

No prob. My guess is that I happened to catch it clearer or something by chance. As for the 2 mp3s...it is probably meant to show that things are clearing up and coming through is easier. Fun times!

Sometimes I look at those Hubble images and am utterly awestruck by their beauty and majesty as well as the enormity of the universe. It's fun to see them incorporated into this experience.

I find myself staring at that eye, Tresbian. The beauty of nature is astounding!
I sped up the audio a little. In the middle part I think I hear. "I rage underneath the disbelief. I'm buried underneath this city of our nation".
City of our nation's birth would be Philadelphia... if we're suppose to finish a sentence. *shrug*

Thanks for posting your version drizjr. It seems like there were three distinctly different versions of the audio. The way yours ends makes it seem like 'the sentence continues' relates to her unfinished thought, but there could well be a double meaning expressed.
