The geographic math of Project Stardust doesn't add up.

Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives.
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?

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

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