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...
