Look closely at the Stardust relay table: there are 14 nodes, but only 10 countries listed.

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

When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate?

When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower.

Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.'

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