OPERATION  CONTRASTING VALKYRIE    
    IN THE  SIXTIES. THE  CENTRAL     
  INTELLIGENCE  AGENCY "CIA" RELEASE  
   AEROSOLIZED  SELATENINE  OVER  A   
  JUPITER EQUINOX  CONCERT, CREATING  
  THE LARGEST SECRET PARADIGM  SHIFT  
  THAT THE  WORLD  HAS EVER  SEEN.  
  
                                          
 THE JUPITER EQUINOX* CONCERT IS PART  OF 
 A  FESTIVAL IN BLACK TICKLE ARRANGED  BY 
 A GROUP  CALLED EPICENTER OF LOVE. THERE 
 IS   NO   ENTRANCE  BUT   VISITORS   ARE 
 EXPECTED  TO HELP WITH MAINTENANCE. FOOD 
 AND  DRINK  IS  SHARED.  MANY BANDS  ARE 
 PLAYING  OVER THE FOUR DAY COURSE OF THE 
 FESTIVAL, AND THE STAGE IS OPEN  BETWEEN 
 SCHEDULED   CONCERTS.   JUPITER EQUINOX, 
 WHILE AN UNKNOWN ACT,  HAS A PRESTIGIOUS 
 TIMESLOT AT EIGHT  IN THE EVENING ON THE 
 THIRD  DAY,  WHICH  IS  FRIDAY.       
                                          
 EIGHT  IS ALSO WHEN  THE  PLANE  USED TO 
 SPREAD  THE   AEROSOL  LIFTS   OFF.   IT 
 ARRIVES AT THE  FESTIVAL ABOUT A QUARTER 
 PAST,  SOUND   MASKED  BY  THE  CONCERT. 
 AROUND   WHEN   THE    FIRST   WAVE   OF 
 SELATENINE   MUST   HAVE   REACHED   THE 
 AUDIENCE,  THE SONG COMES TO A TENSE BUT 
 QUIET  MOVEMENT,  AND  THE  LEAD  SINGER 
 WALKS   TO   THE  FRONT  OF  THE  STAGE. 
                                          
 SHE  SAYS, WITH A CRYSTALLINE  VOICE: "I 
 HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU. I  AM NOT  A 
 HUMAN  BEING. I  AM  NOT  AN ANIMAL OR A 
 PLANT.  I  HAVE  BEEN SENT TO  DELIVER A 
 MESSAGE TO YOU. A MESSAGE  OF  HOPE. YOU 
 ARE  NOT  ALONE. THERE ARE  OTHER BEINGS 
 IN  THE  UNIVERSE.  THERE  IS  LIFE  OUT 
 THERE,  LIFE  THAT  IS  REACHING  OUT  A 
 HAND. AND IT'S  TIME TO  TAKE THAT HAND. 
 TO REACH OUT  TOWARD THAT  HAND AND GRAB 
 IT IT. IT  IS TIME TO COME HOME. YOU ARE 
 GOING   HOME.   YOU  ARE  GOING   HOME." 
                                          
 THE  SINGER  STANDS  THERE  FOR   A  FEW 
 MOMENTS, HER  HAND  RAISED  IN  THE AIR, 
 BEFORE THE  REST  OF  THE BAND  KICKS IN 
 AND THE  MUSIC  BUILDS TO  A  CRESCENDO. 
 THE  CROWD  ERUPTS.  AND THEN  SOMETHING 
 ELSE  ERUPTS  AS  WELL.  A  CONCERT-GOER 
 DESCRIBES   IT:  "SUDDENLY,   THE  MUSIC 
 SEAMS  BROADER,  MORE  COLORFUL.  I  CAN 
 SOMEHOW  SEE  IT, AND I  FEEL THE OTHERS 
 SEEING  IT, AND  I SEE IT  THROUGH THEIR 
 EYES  AS  WELL.  MEANWHILE I'M  DANCING, 
 AND I  CAN FEEL  MY BODY  AS I'VE  NEVER 
 DONE BEFORE,  I AM  AWARE OF  EACH  CELL 
 AND  EACH  MOLECULE,  ALL  VIBRATING  IN 
 UNISON.  AND  IT'S  ALL  GOING   FASTER, 
 BUILDING  UP  TO SOMETHING,  WAKING UP." 
                                          
 PEOPLE  START  FORMING  CIRCLES, HOLDING 
 HANDS  AND  DANCING.  SOME  ARE  CRYING. 
 SOME ARE LAUGHING. SOME  ARE  SCREAMING. 
                                          
 AND  THEN -  A  FLUTTER - AND  SOMETHING 
 GIVES.   A   SHOCKWAVE    OF   REVERSING 
 POLARITY   IN   THE  ETHER,   AND   LIKE 
 BUTTERFLIES GETTING  HIT BY  A  BURST OF 
 WIND, THE  THIRD EYE OPENS FOR  EVERYONE 
 IN THE  AUDIENCE. AND IT BECOMES A CHAIN 
 REACTION, QUICKLY  SPREADING  ACROSS THE 
 FESTIVAL AREA.  WITHIN SECONDS THERE  IS 
 A   GLOBAL  BLACKOUT.   FESTIVAL   GOERS 
 REGAIN  THEIR  MEMORIES  AROUND  A  WEEK 
 LATER,  THOSE  IN  THE  NEARBY  TOWN  OF 
 BLACK TICKLE   AFTER   A  FEW  DAYS,  IN 
 MONTREAL  FOR  THE EVENING,  THE REST OF 
 AMERICA  MAYBE  AN  HOUR.           
                                          
 AND   THUS,  THE   POPULATION  OF  EARTH 
 HAS  KIND  OF  LEFT  IT'S  MATERIALISTIC 
 BASELINE,   ONLY   THAT  MOST   DO   NOT 
 REMEMBER                             IT. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * THERE'S AN INTERESTING ASPECT TO  
   THE  "JUPITER EQUINOX"  ACT.  IT   
   SEEMS   THERE   WAS  NEVER  ANY    
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERTS BEFORE OR  
  AFTER THE ONE IN BLACK TICKLE. THE  
   LEAD  SINGER  (ALSO COLLOQUIALLY   
  REFERRED TO AS JUPITER) SEEMED  TO  
  IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEAR (FOR  A LONG  
  WHILE SHE WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN  
  A CIA  AGENT,  BUT  A LATER  FOIA   
  RELEASE REFUTED THIS). FOR OBVIOUS  
  REASONS, MANY WERE LOOKING FOR ANY  
   TRACE  OF  THE  BAND,  BUT  NONE   
   WERE FRUITFUL.                     
                                      
  RECENTLY, HOWEVER,  SOME ATTENTION  
  HAS BEEN DRAWN TO JUNIPER HELDING,  
  A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD POP SINGER FROM  
   ENGLAND WHO HAS  A VERY  STRIKING  
   SIMILARITY...
