My palanquin eventually entered my legs. I got into my seat on the ship. "Pearl? Please take me to the Moonbase." I requested, only to look at her doing something.
Suddenly, the ship began to move. The ship began to move towards one of the moons, before it stopped. The door opened, and I exited, my Pearl in tow. There were 5 Diamond Murals, but only 4 corners. Maybe it was a design fail?
I saw White Diamonds mural, with her hands around a strange white orb, several beautiful patterns behind her, and circles which I assumed to be her colonies. Next was Yellow Diamonds, who had her hands below her colonies. It was a rather regal pose. There were more of what I assumed to be her colonies.
I then looked at Blues, who had one hand grabbing part of her elegant blue dress. The other hand was below some of her colonies, and above some of her other colonies. Next was an unknown pink figure, who appeared to be jumping. Her hand was below a singular circle.
Finally, there was mine, beside the pink one. Both of my hands were doing a curtsy, with a single colony between my skirt and my hand. The floor and walls were a dark blue, and there were several gray stairs.
We ascended up the stairs, to see a strange orb. Curious, I hurried over to it. "Pearl, click this orb!" I commanded. She clicked the orb, revealing a gem popping out of a kindergarten. A Citrine, to be exact. She had long tan hair, yellow skin with darker yellow marks. Her gem was on the side of her naval. She wore a standard uniform.
"Oh, so this is what it does? It's an interesting concept, alright." I observed everything around me. An Agate poofed conjoined Pearls. An injector ran out of resources. A warp pad activated.
Eventually, I turned it off and ascended yet another set of stairs, into a dome revealing the Moon we were on. It was surprisingly gray mixed with purple and had little to no craters.

"Hey hey, look! It's the 106 moons! Our Diamond is on one of those moons!" A silly Amethyst snickered. The Fire Quartz beside her rolled her eyes. "Don't get too cocky." "I'm not getting cocky!" The Amethyst argued.
"Listen Amethyst, you always get like this when you see a Moon. You seem to have something for moons." The Fire Quartz ranted. The Amethyst bashed her arm with her own arm.
An Orange Agate walked up to the two Quartzes who were arguing, and slapped both of them. "Sorry Rutile, they always get like this." The Agate said as the Rutile chuckled nervously. "Yeah, it's pretty awkward." The Rutile replied, not knowing what to say.

Several Lapis Lazulis off of duty stargazed- or should I say moon-gazed -and smiled. They had always felt serenity being with each other looking at the sky.
"Stars, when will our next assignment arrive?" One of the Lapis Lazulis questioned. "I don't know, maybe the Kunzite is late sending in the terraforming reports to Blue and Black Diamond." Another Lapis Lazuli replied.
"Normally, she isn't like that. Maybe shes been a bit... lazy?" The last Lapis Lazuli snickered. "Listen Laz, if you wanna get on Kunzites good side, then don't be so irresponsible and actually get your terraforming duties done for once!"
"My stars there Zuli!" Just then, the Kunzite walked up behind them. She grabbed each of them by their hair. "I could hear you idiots, you know that, right?"

In a abandoned kindergarten, several gems gathered together. They were planning to illegially cross-fuse. "You know this is against the rules, right?" An Aquamarine questioned, crossing her arms. "Yeah, well, what are they gonna do about it?" A Jade replied.
"Look Jade, we all appreciate your optimism, but we shouldn't be cross-fusing! It defeats our purposes!" A serious Nephrite said. "Oh come on Nephrite, technically we're the same gem!"
"Just because we're both Jades does not make it legal for us to cross-fuse. We could get shattered for our crimes." The Nephrite said. "Come on! We could be stronger and cooler and badder!"
"Okay, fine, lets fuse." The Nephrite finally gave up in her argument. She was content with the fact that she would have to go to Yellow Diamonds personal Zircon. And she was in no way kind.
"If we get shattered, this is your fault, Jade." The Nephrite clarified.
