High above earth, above the battles of the corrupted, above the Rebels, above the confused Homeworld Gems. Stood the pillar of Homeworld, in a metaphorically sense. Since the beginning the Moonbase was the central control station for all the activities of Earth but like the rest of gem society, it too was left in the dark when the cut off occurred. Like the Homeworld warps, the warp to the moonbase was damaged, while completely intact on the Moon’s end it seemed to simply cease to function on Earth end, try as they might none of the Diamonds seemed to be able to get a response from any gems they sent. This has occurred for two years and now it was finally time for her to take charge of the situation. Her temporary absence finally ending as she returned to the moonbase. Of course we are referring to
“Pink Diamond”
The gem exclaimed in surprise “My m-my Diamond” The Green Quartz quickly corrected herself saluting as the towering gem strode up to the doorway of the Moonbase. With a small gesture the edges of the Doorway grew in size, allowing the Pink gem to move through without ducking. She now stood within a tall and strange room, the light danced of the walls shining onto the four different murals doted around the room, the shades of Pink, white, blue and yellow were still clear even in the sporadic lighting. It would only take a single glance to see the connection between the gem currently standing in the centre of the room, and the Pink Murals starring down at her.
A tiny smile fell upon her face as she stepped on one of the tiles on the outer edge of the room. In a instant the tiles all seemed to grow, raising up to create a form of staircase that seemed to grow up to the distant ceiling of the building. Without hesitation placed her foot onto the first step and started ascending up the spiral staircase. Skipping several steps in each stride. The pink pearl of a fair less impressive stature didn’t have the luxury of such a large footsteps and had to quickly follow taking quick and small steps up the staircase to try and keep up with her Diamond.
They moved up to the very top flaw of the Moonbase, the white throne seemingly untouched and the control panel maintained and ready. The room allowed a full view of the area around the Moonbase along with Pink Diamond’s planet, the Earth. She settled down on her throne, the pearl standing beside her quietly as she rubbed her brow. It had been an exhausting last few years, pulled away from Earth due to some rogue gems that were underneath her initially in a mission to hunt them down with the help of the other Diamond’s forced. Despite this though she had ended up empty handed, the Quartz,fusion and Pearl eluding homeworld at every turn. Even when they sent some sort of transmission of planet. At that point Homeworlds forced had nearly caught them but somehow, they had managed to fight their way out and vanish. Pink Diamond wasn’t even sure they were on Homeworld anymore, and to make matter worse she also found out that all communications with her colony had broken down, leaving her and Homeworld completely blind to the operations of Earth. Even with her sisters sending gems to planet they still lacked any answers, none of the sent gems had gotten a message or response back.
Pink Diamond let out an exacerbated sigh, this entire saga just needed to end. This was her first colony and it was turning into a disaster, she need to get this situation under control fast, or she could potentially start losing loyalty with her own gems, and the last thing she wanted to deal with was a mutiny of any size.
“This need to end” She said to no one in particular as she placed her hand on the control panel to start it up “This is going to require some other resources” She paused hunching forward and thinking for a moment, before taping her control panel to open the screen
“Pearl, I need you to bring some gems to me” She Began “Your presence as the messenger of this request should automatically indicate the importance of this mission to them” As she spoke she pulled a small holographic screen of her own and passed it down to her Pearl, the small screen having the details of the Gems she wished to see.
Her Pearl gave a small nod before moving down the stairs and out of site.
This would require some different thinking, obviously the standard crews sent to Earth had not responded meaning that it was likely that something on the planet was disabling their ships and communications. With that in mind she need some form of insurance, guaranteeing that their ship could and would not be disabled. Naturally she would need a Technician Gem, she sifted through the records seeing if she could find anyone, there was that Zircon under White, but she was MIA. It started making her think, even with a technician if a part was critically damaged it likely could not be repaired. What she needed was something that could create any parts they needed, perhaps…She pulled the Diamond communicator out of her seat and twisted it to the Blue Configuration. The screen rose into the air infront of her and she waited for it to connect. Her face twitched in a tiny smirk as a familiar Blue Pearl picked up the line.
“This is the Blue Diamond contro-“ She started, her voice quiet and gentle. As soon as she saw who it was she glanced at her Diamond, whisper to her. In a moment the view shifted up to Blue Diamond, her robes covering her body and eyes, making it hard to tell her expression.
“I apologise about the unscheduled call Blue Diamond” She replied casually “But I have a request to make, I require one of your corundum gems” she requested.
“Why would you ever need one of my Rubies? Or are you fetching another Sapphire for some reason” She replied in her muted tone.
Pink Diamond let out a small chuckle “neither, I’m looking for one in the more orange spectrum”

The Green Jasper Stood resolutely at the door of the Moonbase, she had been given direct orders not to let any of the other gems in until the full group arrived, with the exception of a Blue gem who had entered far earlier with Pink Diamond’s Pearl. She was not given much information except that two would likely arrive on ships and one was one of their own pilots.
((So to clarify, Nephrite was approached by Pink Pearl and asked to meet out front of the Moonbase for a mission, Para and Onyx both got the order to fly to the moonbase from the Gems in charge of them.))
