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...
