re: the sound-cue table, and cutscene dialogue's speaker/portrait/timing

Browse Source 
dat/tables.pak holds a 5798-entry SOUNDS record (cue name -> sound id) and a
5135-entry FILES record (.slb bank paths). Cue names are the join key, so a
script message id now resolves all the way to the bank that voices it:
MSG_VOICE_D_257 -> VOICE_D_257 -> 6945 -> jpn\etc\VOICE_D_257.slb.

The prefix rule is MSG_ -> VOICE_, not strip-MSG_. My first rule was the
latter; it left 88 names unresolved and I was about to write those families up
as text-only announcements, until VOICE_TCAF_592.slb turned up in FILES and
refuted it. Corrected rule resolves 1326 of 1338, and SOUNDS and FILES agree on
exactly the same 12 absentees.

Separately, MSG_DEMO_* is driven by its own IDXD tables in the language packs,
which carry speaker, portrait, on-screen seconds and audio cue per page. Field
count is 9*PageCount+2 for all 7 distinct PageCounts; 1252/1252 caption-key
slots match <ID>_<page>_<line>; the 78 multi-page records equal the 78 counted
independently from the caption side; 138 ids close exactly against the caption
table both ways.

Does not settle the known VOICE_D_452 wrong-recording case -- every cue id is
distinct, so bank sharing is not happening at this layer.

# Cutscene message table — dat/GP_MAIN_GAME_E.pak, IDXD objects
#
# One line per page. A page is one subtitle box; successive pages are
# successive utterances, which is why the speaker changes mid-message.
# Columns: id, page, speaker, portrait, on-screen seconds, audio cue,
# then the caption text.

MSG_DEMO_065 p0 HIGGINS HIGGINS_01 3.7s DEMO_065 This is acting Admiral Higgins. Our fleet is also engaged in combat. We can't spare anyone to assist you.
p1 HIGGINS HIGGINS_02 2.2s DEMO_066 You're going to have to complete your mission with the units you have.
MSG_DEMO_067 p0 CRICHTON CRICHTON_05 1.6s DEMO_067A Understood.

MSG_DEMO_076 p0 NATALIE NATALIE_02 2.3s DEMO_075 All cargoships successfully evacuated.
p1 CRICHTON CRICHTON_07 1.2s DEMO_076 Who's next?
p2 NATALIE NATALIE_02 1.5s DEMO_077 The next group of four ships is the last.
p3 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 2s DEMO_078 Good, then we're going along with them.
p4 CRICHTON CRICHTON_07 1.6s DEMO_079 Natalie, call back the squadron to escort us.
p5 NATALIE NATALIE_01 0.8s DEMO_080 Roger.
MSG_DEMO_082 p0 IAN IAN_03 3.3s DEMO_081 Captain! A new group of enemies is approaching at high speed! It's the same black squadron!
MSG_DEMO_083 p0 MARGRAS2 MARGRAS2_05 2s DEMO_082 Night Ravens, attack!
MSG_DEMO_084 p0 MARGRAS2 MARGRAS2_01 2.9s DEMO_083 That's enough. All units, retreat.
MSG_DEMO_085 p0 TASKENT TASKENT_03 4.5s DEMO_084 Damn it! I'll make them pay the next time I see them!
p1 MARGRAS2 MARGRAS2_02 2.8s DEMO_085 Yeah, I didn't expect resistance like that, either.
MSG_DEMO_087 p0 RAYMOND RAYMOND_01 1.8s DEMO_086 Who knew ADAN had pilots that skilled?
p1 KATANA KATANA_03 3.3s DEMO_087 I was surprised, too. Their leader was especially tough.
p2 ELLEN ELLEN_09 2.7s DEMO_088 They can try, but it won't get them anywhere!
p3 RAYMOND RAYMOND_02 2.7s DEMO_089 Personally, I hope they don't come back.
p4 RAYMOND RAYMOND_04 4.2s DEMO_090 We're lucky we had you, Katana. Your technique just keeps getting better!
p5 KATANA KATANA_02 1.5s DEMO_091 Thank you, sir.
MSG_DEMO_093 p0 NATALIE NATALIE_02 2.9s DEMO_092 Beginning atmosphere exit sequence. All units return to the carrier.
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_01 2.6s DEMO_093 Roger that. Say goodbye to Lebendorf.
MSG_DEMO_095 p0 KATANA KATANA_04 2.2s DEMO_094 Rhino Leader, they're here!
MSG_DEMO_096 p0 ELLEN ELLEN_03 2.4s DEMO_095 They haven't noticed us yet.
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_01 3.3s DEMO_096 All units, start your engines. Let's do this!
p2 RAYMOND RAYMOND_06 4.2s DEMO_097 Whether the rest of the fleet escapes or not depends on us. Everybody stay focused!
MSG_DEMO_099 p0 IAN IAN_04 3.5s DEMO_098 Captain! Enemies approaching from 2 o'clock! It's a mixed group of ships and fighters!
MSG_DEMO_100 p0 IAN IAN_03 2.3s DEMO_099 They're fast! It's that black squadron!
MSG_DEMO_101 p0 ELLEN ELLEN_04 2.5s DEMO_100 The black squadron ... Katana ... it couldn't be.
p1 KATANA KATANA_05 2.2s DEMO_101 Could it really be Margras?
MSG_DEMO_103 p0 RAYMOND RAYMOND_06 3s DEMO_102 Don't let any of them get near the ACROPOLIS!
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_01 2.4s DEMO_103 And Katana, don't go chasing after any more enemies!
p2 GENE GENE_01 1.9s DEMO_104 Yeah, you heard Rhino Leader.
p3 ELLEN ELLEN_04 1.8s DEMO_105 But Katana had a reason for going after that one!
p4 KATANA KATANA_08 2.3s DEMO_106 It's okay, Ellen.
p5 KATANA KATANA_03 1.7s DEMO_107 I'll be more careful from now on, Leader.
p6 RAYMOND RAYMOND_05 1.8s DEMO_108 All right. Now get out there and do your best!
p7 KATANA KATANA_02 1.3s DEMO_109 Yes, sir!
MSG_DEMO_111 p0 IAN IAN_03 1.7s DEMO_110 Two more enemy ships have jumped out! They're close!
p1 CRICHTON CRICHTON_05 1.4s DEMO_111
MSG_DEMO_113 p0 NATALIE NATALIE_04 1s DEMO_112 Deck 3 has been hit!
p1 IAN IAN_04 1.2s DEMO_113 Captain, at this rate we're goners!
p2 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 3.3s DEMO_114 Rhino Flight, attack the destroyers around the ACROPOLIS! Bird Flight, check the destroyers farther out!
p3 CRICHTON CRICHTON_06 1.6s DEMO_115 Russell, how much longer will those engine repairs take?
p4 RUSSELL RUSSELL_02 0.8s DEMO_116 At least ten minutes.
p5 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 1.4s DEMO_117 Do it in five!
MSG_DEMO_119 p0 CRICHTON CRICHTON_04 2s DEMO_118 We mustn't give in! Show some spirit!
MSG_DEMO_120 p0 RUSSELL RUSSELL_02 3.2s DEMO_119 Captain, the engine is back online! We can go any time!
p1 IAN IAN_02 2.5s DEMO_120 Enemy reinforcements! They're headed this way!
p2 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 2.5s DEMO_121 Let's cut our way through them and jump. Pilots, return to the carrier!
p3 RAYMOND RAYMOND_06 2.2s DEMO_122 Roger that. Katana, let's go!
MSG_DEMO_124 p0 ELLEN ELLEN_06 2.9s DEMO_123 This is just too much! Why do they keep following us wherever we go?
p1 GENE GENE_03 1.9s DEMO_124 I thought we were finally gonna be able to relax once we reached Hargenteen.
p2 KATANA KATANA_01 1.4s DEMO_125 There's nothing we can do about it, so let's just get it over with.
p3 RAYMOND RAYMOND_05 1.4s DEMO_126 That's right. This is no time to slack off.
p4 RAYMOND RAYMOND_01 3.5s DEMO_127 We'll be making contact with the enemy soon, so save your complaints for them!
MSG_DEMO_129 p0 ADANB ADANB_01 2.8s DEMO_128 All ships, commence attack on the TCAF squadron.
MSG_DEMO_130 p0 ELLEN ELLEN_09 2.7s DEMO_129 Reinforcements? I thought we'd seen the last of them.
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_03 3.6s DEMO_130 Well, you were wrong. Everybody be careful!
p2 KATANA KATANA_03 1.1s DEMO_131 Roger that!
MSG_DEMO_133 p0 TCAFMIRANDA TCAFMIRANDA_01 4.5s DEMO_132 This is the TCAF MIRANDA. Glad to see you're still with us, ACROPOLIS.
p1 TCAFMIRANDA TCAFMIRANDA_02 3.2s DEMO_133 We're about to begin our ambush, so we'll need all the help we can get from you and your squadron.
MSG_DEMO_135 p0 IAN IAN_03 2.7s DEMO_134 Something is jumping out in front of us! It's big!
MSG_DEMO_136 p0 ADANETERNAL ADANETERNAL_02 3.5s DEMO_135 Ready … Aim … Fire!
MSG_DEMO_137 p0 CRICHTON CRICHTON_07 3.1s DEMO_136 This is bad. Pilots, take out that battleship!
p1 ELLEN ELLEN_08 3s DEMO_137 You want me to stop them? Easy for you to say!
MSG_DEMO_139 p0 IAN IAN_01 1.5s DEMO_138 Enemy battleship destroyed!
p1 CRICHTON CRICHTON_01 2.4s DEMO_139 Looks like we've driven them off for now.
MSG_DEMO_141 p0 KATANA KATANA_10 1.8s DEMO_140 Rhino Leader! Are you all right?
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_07 2s DEMO_141 I'm fine.
MSG_DEMO_143 p0 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 4s DEMO_142 It's time to show the enemy what the 17th Independent Squadron is made of! Give it your all!
MSG_DEMO_144 p0 ANTONIUS ANTONIUS_01 2.9s DEMO_143 Like I need him to tell me that! They should leave everything up to us White Griffons!
p1 SANDRA SANDRA_06 1.7s DEMO_144 All right everybody, time to do this!
MSG_DEMO_146 p0 ELLEN ELLEN_01 1.2s DEMO_145 Everyone's really pumped up!
p1 KATANA KATANA_02 1.6s DEMO_146 Yeah, let's do it!
p2 YOJI YOJI_03 2.3s DEMO_147 It's an honor to serve under your command, Rhino Leader. I'm lookin' forward to it.
MSG_DEMO_149 p0 RAYMOND RAYMOND_11 3.3s DEMO_148 ACROPOLIS to White Griffon Squadron. Your first priority ... get rid of the enemy's Flight units.
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_14 2.8s DEMO_149 Katana, go in there full-force. I know you can handle it.
MSG_DEMO_151 p0 KATANA KATANA_03 1.2s DEMO_150 Yes sir!
MSG_DEMO_152 p0 TCAFCALIBANOP TCAFCALIBANOP_01 1.9s DEMO_151 Sir, the enemy forces are driven off and our course is secured!
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 4.2s DEMO_152 Good. We're going to charge the enemy! All ships, full speed ahead!
p2 VIEIRA VIEIRA_01 2.2s DEMO_153 ACROPOLIS, make an opening for us!
p3 CRICHTON CRICHTON_06 1.4s DEMO_154 Are you telling us to take the lead again?
p4 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 2.3s DEMO_155 Do I need to repeat myself?
p5 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 2.1s DEMO_156 Understood. Commencing charge.
MSG_DEMO_158 p0 RAYMOND RAYMOND_14 3.5s DEMO_157 We're all through here, Katana. Good job.
p1 KATANA KATANA_02 1s DEMO_158 Thank you, sir.
p2 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 3.5s DEMO_159 We are heading into enemy territory! All ships, finish preparations and commence jump!
MSG_DEMO_161 p0 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 2.8s DEMO_160 What? What happened?
p1 TCAFCALIBANOP TCAFCALIBANOP_02 3s DEMO_161 It was a mine! There's a mine field around the enemy base!
p2 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 1.2s DEMO_162 What?
MSG_DEMO_164 p0 CRICHTON CRICHTON_07 1.3s DEMO_163 We've got to do something to help the others.
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_16 2s DEMO_164 Katana, destroy the mines around the fleet!
MSG_DEMO_166 p0 ADANOPB ADANOPB_02 1.7s DEMO_165 They've destroyed the mines!
p1 ADANBASE ADANBASE_01 2.5s DEMO_166 Send out the defense force to intercept them.
MSG_DEMO_168 p0 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 3.3s DEMO_167 Well done! All my pilots are aces!
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 3s DEMO_168 We're attacking the enemy base. All ships, follow my lead!
MSG_DEMO_170 p0 TCAFCALIBANOP TCAFCALIBANOP_01 1.6s DEMO_169 The enemy base has been destroyed!
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 4.6s DEMO_170 Good. Now maybe those ADAN scum know how foolish they were to challenge us.
p2 VIEIRA VIEIRA_01 2.5s DEMO_171 Call in the fighters and set a course for the next target!
MSG_DEMO_173 p0 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 3.3s DEMO_172 Heh, is this all they have? We'll scatter them like ants!
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_01 2s DEMO_173 Destroyers and fighters, attack!
MSG_DEMO_175 p0 ELLEN ELLEN_08 2.8s DEMO_174 Hey, Katana, could this be the same Acheron ... ?
p1 KATANA KATANA_04 3.1s DEMO_175 Yeah, this should be Margras' home planet.
p2 ELLEN ELLEN_04 2.5s DEMO_176 But I thought he said it was a green planet?
MSG_DEMO_178 p0 KATANA KATANA_08 1.8s DEMO_177 What happened here?
MSG_DEMO_179 p0 TCAFCALIBANOP TCAFCALIBANOP_01 2.7s DEMO_178 The enemy force is moving away from the targeted facility. They could be trying to escape.
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_01 2.2s DEMO_179 So they're running in fear. Chase them down!
MSG_DEMO_181 p0 CRICHTON CRICHTON_06 1.8s DEMO_180 Admiral Vieira, what about investigating the other wreckage?
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 4.2s DEMO_181 What? Well, the ACROPOLIS should be able to handle that on its own. I leave it up to you.
p2 VIEIRA VIEIRA_01 1.6s DEMO_182 But I want the White Griffons sent after the enemy.
p3 CRICHTON CRICHTON_07 2.2s DEMO_183 But if we do that then we won't have enough cover.
p4 VIEIRA VIEIRA_03 2.6s DEMO_184 There aren't any enemies in those other ruins.
p5 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 2.3s DEMO_185 Understood. I'll send Rhino Flight over your way.
MSG_DEMO_187 p0 CRICHTON CRICHTON_02 1.7s DEMO_186 Bird Flight stays with the ACROPOLIS.
MSG_DEMO_188 p0 ADANPLD ADANPLD_02 2.6s DEMO_187 Those idiots have fallen right into our trap. Attack!
MSG_DEMO_189 p0 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 3.1s DEMO_188 Warships? Where were they hiding those?
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_01 2.3s DEMO_189 Retreat! Retreat!
p2 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 2.6s DEMO_190A White Griffon Squadron! Protect my ship!
p3 ELLEN ELLEN_05 2s DEMO_190B The black squadron? Katana!
p4 KATANA KATANA_06 2s DEMO_190C What are they doing here?
MSG_DEMO_192 p0 TCAFCALIBANOP TCAFCALIBANOP_02 2.1s DEMO_191 Enemy reinforcements are heading this way!
p1 VIEIRA VIEIRA_02 2.5s DEMO_192 More of them? We've got no choice. Commence jump!
MSG_DEMO_194 p0 TASKENT TASKENT_02 2.5s DEMO_193 Damn, the big fish got away.
MSG_DEMO_195 p0 TASKENT TASKENT_04 2.5s DEMO_194 Oh well, I'll just go and hit that carrier over there!
p1 RAYMOND RAYMOND_13 2.8s DEMO_195 Katana, return to the ACROPOLIS now! Sandra and the others are in trouble!
p2 ELLEN ELLEN_09 1.5s DEMO_196 We've got troubles of our own!
p3 KATANA KATANA_11 1.3s DEMO_197 Ellen, you and the others go! I'll handle things here!
MSG_DEMO_199 p0 TASKENT TASKENT_04 1s DEMO_198 You little punk!
MSG_DEMO_200 p0 TASKENT TASKENT_03 1s DEMO_199
MSG_DEMO_201 p0 KATANA KATANA_09 3.7s DEMO_200 Aaaaah! Margras!
MSG_DEMO_202 p0 MARGRAS MARGRAS_06 2.6s DEMO_201 This isn't good!
MSG_DEMO_203 p0 KATANA KATANA_09 1.6s DEMO_202 Wait, Margras!
MSG_DEMO_204 p0 RUSSELL RUSSELL_01 2.8s DEMO_203 Engineering report: there's no problem with the atmospheric composition, so we should be able to use it as fuel.
p1 CRICHTON CRICHTON_03 2.1s DEMO_204 Understood. Looks like we're going to make it back to Hargenteen after all.

# The cutscene message table — speaker, portrait, timing and audio cue
**✅ Settled 2026-08-26.** The `MSG_DEMO_*` family is not called from any stage
script; it is driven by its own IDXD tables in the language packs. Those tables
carry, per line of cutscene dialogue: **who says it, which portrait is shown,
how long it stays on screen, and which audio cue plays**.
This answers the question left open by
[isl-message-dialogue-link.md](isl-message-dialogue-link.md) — what drives
cutscene dialogue, given that built-in 64 never mentions it.
## Where it lives
32 IDXD objects per language pack (`dat/GP_MAIN_GAME_<lang>.pak`). Each holds a
`Generic` record with a `Count`, plus some number of `Message_NNN` records —
**149 in total** across the English pack, covering **138 distinct ids**.
## Record layout
A `Message_NNN` record has two named fields, `ID` and `PageCount`, and then
**9 positional fields per page**:
| slot | content | example |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | speaker | `CharacterNATALIE` |
| 1 | portrait | `FaceNATALIE_01` |
| 2 | constant `None` at all 149 records | `None` |
| 3 | on-screen seconds, 1.00 – 5.00 (mean 2.48) | `1.9` |
| 4 | audio cue, or empty | `DEMO_017` |
| 5–8 | the four caption keys of that page | `MSG_DEMO_600_000_00` … `_03` |
The field count is exactly **9 · PageCount + 2**, and that identity holds for
every one of the 7 distinct PageCount values present (1→11, 2→20, 3→29, 4→38,
5→47, 6→56, 8→74). That is what pins the per-page grouping.
## Evidence
* **1 252 of 1 252** caption-key slots equal `<ID>_<page>_<line>` exactly, with
**zero** mismatches. The grouping is not a guess about which slot is which.
* **78** records span more than one page — which independently equals the 78
multi-page `MSG_DEMO` ids counted from the *caption* side, by a different
method. Two measurements, same number.
* In **68 of those 78** the speaker changes between pages, confirming from the
data that successive pages are successive utterances rather than one long
speech.
* The id sets close exactly: **138 ids in the caption table, 138 in the message
table, none on either side without the other.**
* 28 distinct speakers, 98 distinct portraits.
## The audio cue (slot 4)
296 of 313 pages carry a cue, and there are **296 distinct values** — one per
page, never reused. It joins to the `SOUNDS` table described in
[sound-cue-table.md](sound-cue-table.md):
DEMO_017 -> sound id 8017
The numbering rule is `DEMO_nnn` → `8000 + nnn`, which holds for **286 of 286**
plain-numeric cues. The 9 remaining cues carry a letter suffix
(`DEMO_067A`, `DEMO_190A`–`C`, `DEMO_216A`–`C`, `DEMO_278A`–`B`) and are
assigned 8400–8408 in order. There is no unexplained residue.
Within a message, **77 of the 78** multi-page records number their cues
consecutively; one does not.
**A guess I had and dropped:** slot 4 looked at first like a movie reference,
since the values resemble the `DEMO_nnn` naming of a clip. It is not — there
are 97 `.wmv` files on the disc and their names look nothing like this
(`ADV.wmv`, `RT01A.wmv`), and the values are unique *per page*, which no movie
reference would be.
## What this does not settle
* **17 pages have no cue** (slot 4 empty). Silent, or voiced by another route,
is unmeasured.
* **Slot 2 is `None` at all 149 records**, so what it would hold otherwise is
unknown — a constant with no observed variation carries no information.
* **5 ids have more than one record** (`MSG_DEMO_600`–`604`), accounting for
the 11 extra records over 138 ids. Whether these are context variants or
duplicates was not investigated.
* **Nothing here was run.** This is a static read of the tables; the playback
order, and whether slot 3 is really the on-screen duration rather than an
audio length or a delay, has not been checked against the running game.
## Artifact
[`../data/cutscene-message-table.txt`](../data/cutscene-message-table.txt) —
all 313 pages with speaker, portrait, seconds, cue and text.

# The sound-cue table, and how dialogue binds to a recording
**✅ Settled 2026-08-26.** `dat/tables.pak` carries the game's cue index. It
closes the join from a message id to the `.slb` bank that voices it — the
missing link between the script/caption side and the audio side.
## The table
One IDXD object in `dat/tables.pak` (373 680 bytes, 5 records, 10 937 fields)
holds:
| record | shape | content |
|---|---|---|
| `SETTINGS` | 3 fields | `PATH` = `game:\dat\sound.pak+`, `PARAM` = `Pj_Silph.xgs`, and a positional `BANK_SE` |
| `BANK_SE` | 1 positional | `Static.slb` |
| `FILES` | 5 135 positional | bank paths — `jpn\Voice\VOICE_TCAF_592.slb`, `BGM_001.slb`, … |
| `STAGES` | **0 fields** | present but empty |
| `SOUNDS` | 5 798 **named** | cue name → numeric sound id |
`SOUNDS` is the only record on the disc found so far that is entirely named
fields, and the names are the join key.
Cue families and their id ranges — the id space is partitioned by family, with
no overlap:
VOICE n=5044 1500 .. 7331
SE n= 322 1 .. 901
DEMO n= 295 8000 .. 8408
BR n= 101 8500 .. 8600
BGM n= 32 1001 .. 1109
JNGL n= 3 1201 .. 1203
5 797 of the 5 798 values are numeric and **all 5 797 are distinct** — the ids
are unique, so the id is not how banks get shared. One cue's value is
non-numeric.
The id is **not** an index into `FILES`: ids run to 8 600 and `FILES` has only
5 135 entries. `FILES` is reached by *name*, not by id.
## The join: a message id to a recording
MSG_VOICE_D_257 (built-in 64's operand, see isl-message-dialogue-link.md)
-> cue VOICE_D_257 `MSG_` becomes `VOICE_`
-> id 6945 SOUNDS
-> bank jpn\etc\VOICE_D_257.slb FILES, matched on stem
The prefix rule has one wrinkle, and getting it wrong is easy:
* **`MSG_` is replaced by `VOICE_`** — it is not simply stripped.
* A name that already carries `VOICE_` keeps the one it has rather than
doubling it: `MSG_VOICE_D_257` → `VOICE_D_257`, but `MSG_TCAF_592` →
`VOICE_TCAF_592` (not `TCAF_592`).
**I got this wrong first.** Stripping `MSG_` resolved 1 250 of 1 338 script
message names and left 88 unresolved, and the 88 were exactly the four-letter
ship families (`ADAN` 32, `ADPL` 27, `TCAF` 12, `ACRO` 3, `RHIN` 2) — which I
was ready to write up as "text-only announcements with no recording". Seeing
`jpn\Voice\VOICE_TCAF_592.slb` in `FILES` refuted that: the recordings exist,
my rule was wrong. Under the corrected rule the count is **1 326 of 1 338**.
`SOUNDS` and `FILES` agree exactly — the same 12 names are absent from both,
and **every one of the 5 135 bank files has a cue** (zero orphans). 663 cues
have no bank file; those are `SE`/`BGM`-family cues living in other banks.
## The 12 script lines with no recording
MSG_VOICE_A_273 MSG_VOICE_D_183
MSG_VOICE_D_600 … MSG_VOICE_D_608 MSG_VOICE_D_611
All twelve are in the `VOICE` family, have caption text, are called from the
stage scripts, and have neither a cue nor a bank. Ten of them form the near
contiguous block `D_600`–`D_611`. Whether they are subtitle-only by design or
a late cut is **not settled** — the shape (a contiguous high block) suggests
lines added after the recording sessions, but that is a guess, not a
measurement.
## What this does *not* settle
* **The known wrong-recording case is not explained by this table.**
`VOICE_D_452` — the generic "Resupply complete" line documented in
[voice-bank-leading-region.md](../voice-bank-leading-region.md) — has its own
unique id (7140) and its own bank. Since every id is distinct, bank sharing
is **not** happening at the cue level, so that symptom still has to be
explained inside the bank/`sound.pak` layer.
* **`STAGES` is empty**, and what would have populated it is unknown.
* **`SOUNDS`' one non-numeric value** was not chased down.
* Only the English pack and the `jpn\` bank paths were examined. Every path in
`FILES` begins with `jpn\`, which is consistent with the already-recorded
finding that the voice set is Japanese, but the other language packs'
tables were not diffed against this one.
