Some years later, when everything had settled down, the nerds who were good at that sort of thing managed to get the computers working again and reconnected with the surviving satellites. The data above and the data below confirmed that the Event swept from, roughly, galactic west to galactic east. The change in physics shut down most electric and electronic systems, at least temporarily, and the exceptional clocks on the satellites (necessitated by pre-Event physics) meant that the equipment that survived and could be re-awakened afterward provided an excellent timetable. Whatever the Event was, it moved through the solar system at the speed of light and it changed all of our lives.
Did it change our lives for the better or the worse? That depends on which side of the coin you were on before it happened. Also, it depends on whether you survived.
