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

At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent.

What did the Mexican regional master contain that terrified the authorities?

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