I see no X here.
Hackers (and the interactive computer games they write) traditionally favor this slightly marked usage over other possible equivalents such as There's no X here! or X is missing. or Where's the X?. This goes back to the original PDP-10 ADVENT , which would respond in this wise if you asked it to do something involving an object not present at your location in the game.
