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

One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?
Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden.

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

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

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