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...
