Where are Nodes 11, 12, 13, and 14 physically located?

Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives.
In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.

If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt?

Nova isn't in a vault. Her code was transmitted to the orbital relays before the building burned.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit!
