Posting this from a BBS in Mexico City through an anonymous remailer.

At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent.
Witnesses reported seeing military intelligence trucks parked outside the Coyoacán telephone exchange on Calle Del Carmen.

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

Mexico was Node 04. Korea was Node 03. Both had government communication blackouts during major political transitions.
