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

A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night.
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?

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?

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