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...
