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...
