"So, my turn. What is it you exactly do, or rather did before being injured, since becoming a free gem?" Fulgurite stopped briefly and furrowed his brow. "To be perfectly honest. I spent most of my time here in seclusion. Stayed hidden for a very long time as, well, I was afraid. I had no idea that gems could be anything but allied with Homeworld. So for a very long time I simply wandered and learned. I spent decades learning how glorious this planet it, it's rich history, it's diverse culture. Though I do have to say human are quiet similar to gems about their arbitrary categorization of one another, based on melanin concentration in their skin, they imitate the class system of gem quality this way."
As Fulgurite worked he continued to strip more and more off his leg til he was down to the core structure and wiring all the way down his foot, leaving it looking like it was just a piece of rebar with a small bend at the bottom. "Thankfully it seems I did not sustain and damage to the primary assembly, which saves quiet a bit of effort in my reconstruction." Fulgurite smiled as he adjusted the piles of pieces he's removed from himself and swap his other leg up onto the anvil and goes to work to striping it as well. "But during my time of exploration and discover I decided I would make something of my self, pardon the pun, and started getting to work on the advancements of my augments. Since I lacked the capabilities to finish out the augmentation process on myself, I set to work on simply making everything I currently had grafted to my body as capable of possible."
Having gotten into a descent rhythm Fulgurite was making quick work of his other leg as he was talking. "I started researching what gem tech was available on Earth, and what resources Earth had to offer. It took me a few years and many a failed attempt but I finally worked out the formula and process for creating this material and started with just making my limbs stronger. Then came the upgrades. Capacitor banks, high efficiency impact hydraulics, disruption energy dispersal units, and integrated overclocker arrays to name a few. I actually learned a descent portion of my work from human automotives and what would do to make their vehicles more powerful."
