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...
