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.

The mural in Coyoacán still shows his face, but people say when the streetlight flickers it glitters into someone else.

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