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...
