Going through xscript.txt file to make corrections  for a mod, I found this entry:
Quote

A power surge from the alien artifact has shorted
out the Network Node at $BASENAME0!

Proceed
Zoom to Base Control

Has anyone got that event? Sounds not pleasant, like the Network Node is effected. how? destroyed?

It is not listed here:

It looks like an intended-but-never-implemented alternate result when plugging in an artifact to a network node (probably destroying the node and the artifact, and probably with a chance of it happening each time you plugged in an artifact).

I had that feeling, it was something like that. Such event would make AA much less worth connecting to network node.
There are more not implemented events, as I think, that I found reading xscript.txt

I've experienced it twice since 2000, a long time ago. Indeed, node and artifact both destroyed.

Well, at least it seems to be not a very frequent occurrence :)

It was like the Major Asteroid Impact. For a while, nobody reported it, then a few did, now it's heard of from time to time.

You are orphans, earthdeirdre, your homeworld already buried so young among the aeons. Yet now you fill the skies where we watched a million sunsets with flame and contrails, paying no heed to the hard lessons the universe has tried to teach you. Are you a breath of life to invigorate a complacent world, you earthhumans, or an insidious cancer which must be excised?
