Abstract
Imagine this: you’re working with an undergrad. They’re brilliant. Like, waaaay smarter than the average CS grad student. One day they be like “brb” and disappear from the face of earth, leaving you with 14 hand-written, CRLS-length manuscripts in a language you cannot decipher. You’re bewildered. And a little humiliated, perhaps, that this tortured genius wrote in a few months more than you could ever write in 5 years of grad school (*cries in unfinished draft*). Let’s kickstart the Summer Conspiracy Series on wild ride through one of Brazil’s weirdest recent disappearance cases. (worry not: they’ve been found. or so we think. maybe they’ve been replaced with an alien. idk. come make your own conclusions.) Contains: aliens, Interpol, slightly unhinged “Theories of Knowledge”, mild sarcasm and self-deprecation.
