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

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?

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

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

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

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!
