Subplot: Mystery (Carter intercepted a coded e-mail several months ago. He hasn't been able to break down the code completely, but based one what he's figured out so far there's a strong chance SHELTER is mentioned more than once. The sender -- root@nexus.org -- bounces back anything sent to it. The thing is, even after this, he's intercepted a few more e-mails from root; and again, SHELTER is almost definitely mentioned. Carter isn't sure of the content or context of the messages, but just the fact that they're mentioning SHELTER is something that's troubling him.)
