Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden. In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP. When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate? -- Karen Sokolov -- Oxford University Computing Laboratory "They will send a copy in my place."

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