On August 20th, 1966, two Brazilian electronics technicians were found dead on a lonely hillside overlooking Niterói. Their bodies were neatly laid out. Their belongings were untouched. And over their eyes… lead masks. The kind you’d wear to shield yourself from radiation.

No signs of struggle. No obvious cause of death. Just a cryptic note in one man’s pocket that read: “Take capsules. After effect, protect metals. Await signal.”
