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...
