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...
