Either the speaker is talking to himself (or various parts of himself), or conversations within the text is utterly simplified to create confusion. I'm pretty sure it's the latter.
"Surely it won't be that much of a challenge for you to find. Joker. Thataboy! The rest are on their way. The rest of what? Of the force. Whatever for? They were here originally; the should be present now, no? You didn't tell us to dress for company. Would you have even if I told you? That would be quite incomprehensible. To say the least. So, onto business."

I believe that particular passage was a rough transcription of a conversation the Joker was having with someone else, and someone else's friend, as well. It seems that we run into CoffinsNail dictating a few things (I think? I didn't know that guy too well), Doc Raj dictating things, and the Jokers, as well as their creators dictating things, among what seems to be others.
It's rather hodge-podged in like that, I'll see if I can make anything a bit clearer by rearranging things by this apparent number system later on in the day.

Strayshot was missing and presumed dead for quite some time, as was the rest of Scanline, after Sentinels attacked their ship in the Real. Indeed, many of us thought that this mystery had died with them. Then, people claiming to be the new Scanline crew appeared, also claiming that Strayshot was dead. [Query: how many ORIGINAL scanline crew returned?] Soon after, the man himself popped up, very eager to talk and further the public work on Doc Raj's work. We have encountered Simulacra, Overwritten Personalities, Exiles (some of which have been broken up into a Network or Spectrum of distinct "human" personalities,) Seekers, Investigative Programs (which appear human), Sentinels with Shells (commandos) and Copies (Redpills who were Cortically Scanned and Stored) before. Remember the binary in the previous Scanline Receiver image. Maybe he's not the "real" Strayshot, maybe he's under some voluntary or involuntary influence(s,) programmed or otherwise. Maybe he's acting completely within his own or Scanline's designs but he's been bugged (under constant surveillance of all his communications.) The only thing we know for certain about him is, he wants this solved and he wants us all working together on it publicly - at least for now.

Well, if he's been bugged, it was before he went into hiding (which, as one of the nodes explains, was due to an encounter with exiles), since that was when those encounters (I believe they ran together) occurred.
And, the previous Scanline message had to do with the dubiability of an exile we've been after with, as far as we know, no ties to Strayshot or Morpheus.
New Nodes found .. one in the process of loading up.
Here are the results of an exhaustive scan of the Pamela bearing lines we know about. The scan covered both positive and negative time parameters as well as fractional t parameters if warranted. Each bearing line was evaluated for all integral node locations until the bearing line exited the district. The "UNKNOWN TUNNEL" as it's District is indeterminate was evaluated as if it as in each. This scan also allows for the possibility that there may be multiple nodes aligned along a bearing line.
Another feature of this scan protocol is that is deduces the size of the scanned document as well as the time the document was last modified. This will allow us to track the temporal behavior of the Node data.
For the most part the time parameter was usually found to be 6 for less, The excpetion to this was Sai Kung where time parameters of 26 to 50 were required for District exit.
In all 270 Node positions were evaluated for a total of 14264 frequency combinations. Frequencies less then one where checked for a 0.xxxx and a .XXXX because of the ambiguity in how Adelia might search such a frequency. To date only frequencies > 1.0000 have yielded results.
In Summary all Pamela Bearing lines except for those in Edgewater and those in the apartment in Roger's Way have an associated node.

So we now have a way to discover these datanodes that the 991 uses. What should we do with these nodes? notify coffinsnail and the machines to take out these nodes? leave him alone as long as he doesn't harm anyone or the matrix in general?
Two new nodes went into acquisition mode yesterday ... The Sia Kung 2 Node went into display mode today .. The Kedemoth 3 mode apparently was updated yesterday as well. This leaves the two Roger's Way nodes as unaccounted for.
Details for the Edgewater nodes.

We have also added Pamela to our data scan .. She was last updated 8/14 19:16:11 GMT
New nodes are up: Sai Kung 2 Loading (301) now has content.
The 2 Edgewater nodes are still Loading Data.
In the RW node, the guy Strayshot is standing next to at Dannah E is named Curebrandt. He was in The Vault last night meeting with Ebola and Darminian, somehow connected with Kerevola and the Acheronia broadcast thing.
His details "This gentleman appears to be an influential and successful businessman." I bet he knows about the Tower, or he should if he's worth his weight in salt.
I tried mentioning the Tower to the Joker to see his reaction. Like the node says, "You sunk my battleship!"
My current hypothesis on the Tower is the "World Never Stops" building. It's in Hampton, which fits the blurb about protecting valuable points, sending out a redirect etc that "they" were going to do when they found out redpills were after the nodes. Plus, the "Code Xchange" bit seems to fit, as does the clock logo corresponding to the Watchtower references in one of the nodes.
*edit* Yes, the Ked 3 node was updated. The last two images's orders were reversed. Additionally, the old node did not have the string "Find the beast trapped in the broken cage." at the end. Other changes: <title> was moved from <head> (which was removed) to inside <body>, and a few other aesthetic things.

Actually the world never stops clock was involved with part 1 of fixing thewatchmaker. it was the solution to how long is a day when the world never stops or something like that. we had to time how long a full day went by on that clock. I think it was something like 48 seconds. Maybe I should gather our old logs on the watchmaker and post them here so everyone can see what ties in.
Also, There was a riddle that the joker of spades gave sureshot a while ago. the riddle is "i am looking for seashells, but i don't think she'll sell. and good luck finding the seashore." there's an old post on the vector forums(events I think) that has my last attempt to solve it. perhaps others would like to bake their noodle on that one too? I'll see if I can't necro that as well.
