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...
