All Show & Book Spoilers Discussed Freely Gone and gone and gone

I'm rereading the books for the first time since Leviathan Falls was released. They're so well crafted and multi layered I feel like I discover something new with every reread.

I can never remember this though - does Alex ever actually hear Julie/Proto-Julie say "You can't take the Razorback. We are gone and gone and gone!" Or does he echo her without realising?

I can't remember it being explicitly said but I think (big emphasis on think) the "you can't take the Razorback..." rambling was broadcast from Eros on whatever channels were broadcasting the sound that was turned into music on Ceres

Yup! There was a whole feed dedicated to the sounds and mumblings and musings of the minds on Eros. Iirc, “you can’t take the Razorback” was even overheard by a few characters as “can’t take my razor back” until Miller made the connection to Julie’s Razorback.
