" What do you mean we have no communications with anything in orbit?" Lieutenant General Leonard Johnson yelled, frustrated. The words " Global Communications Blackout " and below it, " Globaler Kommunikationsausfall" blinked on various screens around the room. Contact had been lost with anything outside of EU Borders, and even within EU Borders, there was no communication with anything outside of the European Mainland. Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, and Quebec.

The World map on the holographic display in the middle of the room blinked, as Major Franz Koch, his liaison, spoke with a faint, German accent, in English. " Sir, we have no contact with anything outside of mainland Europe. Space command reports that even the position of the stars have changed. "

A Captain barged in, before confirming. " Sir, we have restore hard communications lines to Britain, Ireland, Iceland, and Greenland, and Greenland is receiving radio communications from Quebec.... But it is currently to the Geographic.. South of Iceland. Our liaisons are briefing the president as we speak. Personnel at the Russian Republic and Federation DMZ reports that three DMZ, and the Russian Federation, has seemingly.. Disappeared, and has apparently been.... Replaced with an unidentified land,ass. We do not see Africa, and it's literally not there. The ESA is conducting emergency SSTO Launches to send up new satellites and see what is going on from orbit. But.. we believe that as of right now, the European Union is no longer on Earth."

" I believe that warrants Alert Condition Two." General Johnson said, as word came in that a Union-wide emergency had been declared. The Union grinded to a halt, as people stayed at home, waiting for the next update from EU Forces. Meanwhile, he also received orders that Union Peacekeepers should be deployed in cities. The Union's armed forces went to peak alert conditions, as troops are rudely woken up, and issued their rifles, and ordered to stay on high alert. At sea, Union Navy and Coast guard ships begun rescue operations, along with directing all naval traffic to immediately return to port. In airbases around the Union, Eurodrone ED/M-9 Wyvern UCAV's scrambled along with standard EF/M-37 " Tempest"'s, old, yet reliable EF/M-35X Lightning-II's, EF/M-38 Hurricanes, and seventh generation EF/M-41 " Gryphon. " Fighters. From massive orbital launch mass accelerators, SSTO's belonging to the European Space Agency and the European Exoatmospheric Force holding dozens of rapid deployment Communications CUBESAT's were launched into orbit, many automated, but others held ESA and EEXF Personnel. Little did they know, these are the first people to enter space on this world in several millennia.

President Jack Picard, the serving president of the European Union, is tired. Very tired. He was woken up at 02:00 due to the ongoing situation, and now, the European Union, no longer a transnational organization, but a Federation, united after the fires of the Third war, faced the most devastating crisis since the Federalization of the Union following the third world war in 2032. The Union was no longer on earth, he reminded himself that. Foreign trade, immigration, Mutual defence pacts, all of them.

It was proven. On-ground, and aerial observations from the European Meteorological Agency, have confirmed that the horizon is now 5.54 Kilometres outwards, and that the stars themselves have changedF and now no longer aligned with star charts which have proven correct for centuries. SSTO's launching have proved as much, requiring more fuel than usual to reach orbit. As he thought about it, SSTO's have begun deploying the first emergency communications satellites.
