Approaching Konoha's projected location, a solar system of several planets is observed. Moving past the fourth, there's a break in line before the empty place where Konoha should be orbiting is observed.
Tracing the world to where it ended up at the end of its use in a giant alien bowling game takes our travelers along the pathway to another world. Dead planet dead planet is located along the way.

At least there was nothing for Madara to work his plan on left.
She closed her eyes, making herself breathe. Maybe this wasn't the right place. Maybe...
One of the sensors she'd put on distance beeped and whirred, reading out information. An object of the mass she expected, located at some distance from this system.
"This is Sakura speaking," she announced over the intercomm system. "We're moving out of Solar System k-14H1M0T0. There's a small planetoid we'll be moving by before moving out to the CAU-DAY sector. I'll warn before we hit significant travel speeds."

She doesn't move toward it right away, Guy currently out of the area. Looking out the front window display (so useless, really, you didn't navigate by this kind of sight), she gestured off to the right. "We're coming up on the object of equivalent mass soon."
Sakura has too much not to say. She falls quiet again, thinking.

The solar system seems otherwise untouched, but Earth has been exchanged for a much more attractive planet of green. Neptune had the blue thing already, darlings, really, one must know color distribution. Uranus is pushing the envelope as it is!
A lovely new solar system design office has opened up in this system. Maybe they'll take a lodged complaint!

Unless Earth was suddenly terraformed in her absence, this was not the planet that had originally been there. She looked at the display showing the rest of the solar system. Nine planets, an asteroid belt after the fourth planet, four gas giants and then tiny little Pluto.
It was the right solar system. The stars were in the right place. But Earth wasn't there anymore.
Max wasn't sure whether she wanted to scream or laugh, so she simply kept her mouth shut and stared out the viewport. What had happened to the Justice League? What had happened to all of the human and non-human superheros (and supervillains) who had inhabited her world. Surely they would have noticed someone about to bump off the planet.
But apparently they hadn't.

By which I mean an intergalactic contractor named Simpsons turned Heaven, Hell and Earth into a rather nice location for space sitcom.
There's a gate to pull up to, beyond which an entire sector of the solar system has been turned into a studio. Parts of the world can be found, but they're literally in parts; half of it's in storage.
Space, how do you work?
This system has been converted into a sitcom center, and as a consequence follows sitcom rules. Check in through the front of the studio, get a studio tour, ride the Intergalactic Nom Monster ride...

In a field of rubble floats a lone paperclip. It's next to impossible to get close, but by request, Guy and Sakura will try to get you there. As long as someone else is manning the gun systems to get oncoming debris out of the way, and someone else is monitoring the sheilding systems.
Watch out for the paperclip. He may help, or he may go psychotic on everyone on ship yet again.

Really, it was ridiculous. Minato hadn't believed it when he heard it. A virtual paperclip. Something that was really just a moving image on a computer program accompanied by words. That was what destroyed the planet? Impossible. Yet, there it was. Right there. The paperclip. The field of ruble where his planet once stood.
He wasn't sure how to feel about it. Sad that his planet was gone for sure? Insulted that a paperclip was what did it in? Angry that he couldn't do anything to stop it? A combination of all of them? At the moment, it was nothing. The magnitude of the discovery hadn't really hit him yet. He just stood at one of the larger windows of the Loki, looking out into that field of rubble. Should he go take a closer look? Maybe. Should he discuss this with the others? Yes. But for now, he'll just stand there. Stand there, and try to sort out his thoughts on the matter.

It did help, however, that he was fairly certain it wasn't. All he needed to do was to set about proving it. Souji had set up the equipment, and was ready to get it all running, having spent three weeks giving himself a crash course in its use. Now it was just a matter of turning it on, monitoring the data intake, and seeing what he found. He rolled his stool up to the makeshift monitor station, proceeded to flip a number of switches, turned dials, made sure everything was calibrated, and with everything in order, stood up and started toward the kitchen to get some coffee.
It was at this point he noticed his fellow Wild Card staring out the window at... well, it would be a stretch to call it scenery.
"Sobering, isn't it?"

Had he really missed him setting all that up? Either he was really out of it looking at this or he really needed to turn down his music. Oh well.
"Yeah. ...What's all the equipment for, though?"
