The factories on Vulcan were running full steam, refining various mined ore, shaping the molten steel and shaping the outer casings. Robotic arms from the ceiling put the framework together, installing the main components, and finally fusing the casing onto the metal skeleton.
Long rows of empty Battle Eye casings rode along conveyor belts to a small chamber that lowered down upon each individual unit, where inside arms installed the robot's appendages and main computer, emerging from the small chamber fully charged and activated. At the end of these conveyors, a scanner from the ceiling indicated that all systems were properly operating, and the newly built machines began moving in single files out of the main fabrication room, and into an even larger chamber, with dozens, hundreds of Battle Eyes, some operating cranes, one fitting the final piece of a saucer shaped spacecraft into place.
The saucer was the same gunmetal gray as the "Metaltrons"(Nicknames given by Quartz Gems), and possessed yellow-tinted windows around the middle section. As the antenna was installed, a Battle Eye with a spike and larger lights on its dome entered the chamber from a balcony.
This unit was designated as the main commander of their first mission, the same unit that Black used in the demonstration, now slightly upgraded to fit the new hierarchy that its creator set into motion.
Supreme: Battle Eyes, our main saucer is completed! The Creator has been given permission by White Diamond to invade inhabited worlds, he shall arrive shortly to inspect the fleet! Report status!
Battle Eye: Four other battle saucers have been completed and fully charged! All 10,366 units are operating at 100% capacity! Gem forces are standing by within this vessel and are awaiting orders!
Supreme: Report status on Gem forces!
Battle Eye: 800 Quartz soldiers, 1,300 Rubies, 2 Hessonites, one Sapphire and one Emerald! Due to production of Battle Eye units on Vulcan, Gem production has slowed down by 54%! Resources are being divided for two separate armies! Yellow Diamond has provided a number of her Gems to increase ours!
Battle Eye: The resource issue will be taken care of after this conquest! Scans confirm mineral ores abundant on both the planet and its second moon!
