Prologue
In a giant board room a few dozen or so shadowy figures silently watched a screen for a few moments. On the screen could be seen all of earth. images shifting from a mother pushing two young boys in a stroller in some suburban neighborhood to a couple walking together down a crowded European outdoor market. Images continually flickered displaying all different aspects of human life. Soldiers in green camouflage wandering through forests and workers in a factory producing vehicles.
After a few moments, the screen dimmed and faded out and after another moment of silence the figure seated at the head of the mahogany table spoke up. "It seems there's nothing more to be learned from race 412XK by simply observing them anymore. Include them with the newest batch. We'll be moving ahead into phase 2 now that we have garnered all the information possible from observation alone on the lower dimension races. We will be moving the last of the races into the Void and purging this dimension. Everyone should have your dossier in front you. Those are your assigned sectors. Let's make sure this goes smoothly this time.”

All around the world a massive disembodied head appeared over every populated area on the planet. An earthshaking voice could be heard and the world practically shook. The massive head had dark red hair the color of blood hanging down to the shoulders and porcelain pale skin. The masculine face had an otherworldly beauty to it. The hair flowed down slightly wavy and swayed as the figure spoke.
“Greetings humans. This is a courtesy to let you know that we no longer have a need for observing your species anymore and that we’ll be transporting you and the rest of your world into the Void Dimension. As a caution I would warn you that during the move we recommend you don’t panic and try to maintain calm. We still need a few things from your race and many of you are going to be weeded out in the initial phases anyways, so let’s not lose more than is necessary. Ah, and one last word of advice. Not everything arrives all in one place, or piece for that matter. Have a nice trip!”
As soon as the disembodied head ceased speaking the entire earth began to quake. Screams could be heard everywhere and people were jumping over one another trying to find shelter from the earth shattering vibrations rocking the whole world. After a bit more than a minute everything went black simultaneously for everyone one on the planet. Everything ceased its movement and everyone and everything suddenly went completely silent.
