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.
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.'

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?
