It was late at night, not that one could tell at such a in-human place. The galaxy warp was one of the few places that didn't feel like a Earth colony, a gem could close their eyes and almost imagine they were back home. The pads were all empty, not exactly a rarity since the majority of them were destroyed, except for two small, red gems. They sat next to each other, gazing into the stars above them, admiring a view rarely seen by so many humans. One of the many reasons the male gem disliked human cities was just that, their lack of elegance in technology. They polluted their skies with rays of light, blinding themselves to the stars above. At least here, so far away from civilization, almost the entirety of the starts were visible. One of the gems, a seemingly male one, broke the silence, "I always forget how much I miss the sight of the stars. It makes me remember how small this ball of matter is, how little it all matters." His eyes rested on a especially bright star, even though the constellations were vastly different from Earth he could spot Homeworld easily. He may have been formed off-world but he still felt a measure of pride for his heritage.
He had never actually visited Homeworld, but he had always dreamed of it. To get off this planet and go straight to that beautiful capital, a true measurement to the greatness of gemkind. And to top it all off, the diamonds lived there. Like most gems he had never actually seen any of them, but their murals and paintings depicted them as stoic leaders, standing up for their people! How could any group want to fight against them, let alone hope to win? He was sure in the end this planet would fall, either to Homeworld or these corrupted gems. Perhaps that was why this planet was taken, so it could destroy itself. He felt a pang of sadness at the thought of being left behind to die, but he assured himself that it didn't change the matter. Neither he or his companion were corrupted, they would surely find refuge. Someday.
