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

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

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

My cousin still has a cassette taped off the air that night. Right before the station cut out, there was a high-pitched carrier squeal.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.

I live in Mexico City. Everyone here remembers 'se cayó el sistema'. But nobody outside Mexico knows about the Coyoacán radio pirate.

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?
