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...
