Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle with CA=CBCA=CB and ACB=120\angle{ACB}=120^\circ, and let MM be the midpoint of ABAB. Let PP be a variable point of the circumcircle of ABCABC, and let QQ be the point on the segment CPCP such that QP=2QCQP = 2QC. It is given that the line through PP and perpendicular to ABAB intersects the line MQMQ at a unique point NN. Prove that there exists a fixed circle such that NN lies on this circle for all possible positions of PP.
