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...
