L1 Colony…
"Sir! Earth has disappeared!" the man shouted to his superior officer.
"What? That's impossible," the officer said, coming up behind the man.
"We've just received a picture from one of our satellites. Where the earth should be, there's just space."
"Bring the picture up," the officer commanded.
The man obeyed, pushing the appropriate buttons. On the screen in front of them a picture appeared, like every other one they had ever received, but for the fact that there was no earth.
"Perhaps the satellite is malfunctioning, sir," the man ventured.
The officer nodded slightly, "Send some probes out. Also send a shuttle out to bring that satellite back for fixing."
"Right away," the man said, giving the officer a salute.
The officer returned the salute then did a proper military turn. He strode down the halls before he stopped before a door. He knocked and was rewarded with a clear "Come in". He opened the door, and stepped in. He came to attention as the man at the desk looked up from his papers.
"Commander Johnson," he greeted him.
"General White," he said, still at attention.
The general smiled, "At ease, my friend. We've known each other to long to be so formal in private. You have something to report?"
"Yes. A picture has returned from an earth orbit satellite. It is as we feared. Oz has gone ahead with their plans. Earth has vanished."
White's face took on a sad look, "Well, there is nothing we can do now except hope and pray that they can figure out how to get back."
They talked for a while longer over small things before Johnson returned to see what the man had found.
"Sir, this is amazing!" the man told him as he came through the door. "I sent some probes out as you requested, and have just gotten their pictures back. There appeared to be a black hole where Earth should be. But after about 10 minutes, it just vanished!"
"That was a dimension vortex," Johnson said almost to himself.
"A time dimension? But everyone knows they're just legends," the man protested, forgetting his rank for a moment.
"No, they're real alright," Johnson assured him, "it's just people don't want to believe in them. So they make them into legends and stories."
"But if that was a vortex, where is Earth?"
"No one knows for sure, but one thing is for certain, Earth is no longer in our dimension."
