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...
