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...
