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...
