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...
