The biggest political crisis in modern Mexican history happened on the exact same night Node 04 went dark.

Witnesses reported seeing military intelligence trucks parked outside the Coyoacán telephone exchange on Calle Del Carmen.
A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night.

The decoded line for Node 04: 'ORION BUILT A PATCH NOT A STAR.'

The Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS is the only one in the world with the unmuted guitar solos. They tried to confiscate all copies.

Marcus in Mexico was a rock musician. Marcus in Korea was an architect. Marcus in Japan was a poet. Who was Marcus in the US?
