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

On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'.
A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night.

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?

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