In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP. One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01?

When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower. Unsubscribe me from this list!
