I like any species that sends nudes into the endless void.

　　5 Minutes Later - Doc-Danger - Earth-ish

　　High Roller, the Masked Man, and I are floating roughly where the Earth should be. Fox and Eve are out looking for clues.

　　"You left Megacles a God Machine, right?" High Roller asks.

　　I nod.

　　"Maybe she just moved everything."If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

　　I shrug. It`s possible.

　　"Pluto`s gone." says High Roller. "That`s a good sign. Megacles wouldn`t leave without Pluto."

　　I nod.

　　A portal opens. Fox comes through.

　　"Judging by the orbit of what`s left - a few comets and dust clouds - the Sun`s been gone for about 11 weeks." Fox glares at the Man in the Mask. "It disappeared around the same time as the Impossible Party."

　　I shake my head. Fuck.

　　We float there for a bit. Staring at nothing.

　　A portal opens. Eve comes through. She`s dragging a big chunk of metal. "I found something. Maybe a clue." It`s a Pioneer probe.

　　I hang my head. "Thank you. But, that isn`t a clue. We fired that off to prove we existed. In case something happened to us."

　　"Oh." says Eve. "Should I put it back?"

　　"No." I tear a small plaque off the antenna strut. Hand it to Eve. "No. You were supposed to find it."

　　Eve`s crying. I hold her.
