[ WP ] Earth is sucked into a parallel universe through a worm hole . There are now two earths in orbit around the sun . Contact between the two planets are established .

It's been thiry years since the Emergence. Thirty years since a wondering wormhole spit out the second Earth, firing its moon off into the void of our galaxy. 
 
 We were lucky. New Earth, as it has come to be known, entered our universe at an adjacent orbit around the sun. It's an orbit that only crosses with our own once a year, but that's the only good news. I'm laughing as I write this. 
 
 It took us a year to make contact with them, a year longer to understand that the Nazi's won, five years to come to grips with the fact that their Nazis were n't like ours. They'd suffered a major catastrophic political collapse much like our stock market crash, only theirs lasted thirty years. They were little further advanced than us technologically, but behind us agriculturally. They were starving to death. 
 
 We traded agricultural solutions for technological ones. It's been sixty years since the Emergence, and we're finally capable of commercial space travel between the us and New Earth and our moon. We have peace unlike any thing we've ever known, but there's really nothing happy about it. It's a bittersweet thing, because we knew in the first ten years that the two planets were destined to destroy each other. 
 
 We realized it after New Earth's first orbit of the sun. New Earth's orbit crosses our own. The full impact of that realization became apparent when New Earth's first revolution manifested as an astronomical bullet burn. New Earth passed so closely to our own that the tidal forces of both planet's gravity created tsunamis a hundred feet high, and earth quakes that sunk much of California. The second year proved to be easier. Our orbit was slightly faster than New Earths, but the brain trust over at NASA did the math and realized at which point the two planets would converge on each other once more. 
 
 Three years ago, we felt the first tremors. Two years ago, we lost Japan. They lost Hawaii. This year, we lost half of the United States. They lost Australia. In six months, we both lose. Our orbits are carrying us into a collision one with the other. Scientist have predicted three possibilities for this year. Either one of the Earths are going to knock the other out of orbit, or both will be dislodged as rogue planets, or they will impact and destroy each other. We're going to die, or that is the general consensus. 
 
 There are rumors that the two worlds are colonizing our moon in preparation for the impact, turning it into a life boat. A lump of stone that will be freed of its indentured nature to our planet when the two world's collide. Conspiracy theorist believe one of the planets will sacrafice its self so the other may live. There are many rumors circulating, and the only thing we know for certain is that billions are going to die. 
 
 But me, I'm searching for it; searching for the device on New Earth responsible for creating the Emergence in the first place. Most believe it was an accident, and I believed it for a while, but that was before I found Dabney Justoy shot to death in my hotel room. It was before I found the briefcase he'd hidden beneath my bed and the files inside it. Six months till the end of the world, a dead body in my hotel room, and proof that someone on New Earth was about to kill 142 trillion people -- no problem.
