The large spaceship expels a capsule that comes at high but controlled speed. Steven is startled by the technological change of the object, and how threatening the capsule appeared to be.

The capsule stops, after arriving at an overwhelming speed. What frightens Steven the most is how the capsule stops abruptly, without bringing any crushing drafts or consequences, but just hovers in front of him, floating solemnly.

Steven - "Who are you?!"

The great dome responds to Steven, in a mechanical, gravelly voice, "I am the monument to mankind's sins, and I have come to claim your support, gem."

Steven can only stare scared at the sphere, the words uttered by the sphere. A monument to the sins of mankind? What is this terror that space possesses, and now comes to Earth to wreak havoc?


"But... I guess that's not the best form of diplomacy, is it?" Says the sphere, interrupting Steven's train of thought.


Slowly, the sphere opens in half, transforming into a platform from which a single tall entity descends, facing the half-human.

Steven - "Um... hello. My name is Steven... Steven Universe? Member of the.. Crystal Gems?"


Ramattra - "Greetings, Diamond. My name is Ramattra; I was raised to lead the omnicos to war... but all I ever wanted was a better life for my people. Our existence is already a miracle."


Steven - "Ramattra? It's... a good name, erm... sir? I understand what it's like to be born to... well, lead a species to war, and only want the best of it. But I'll be blunt, what's the point of your coming here?"

Ramattra gives even more steps than he had given between Steven's speech, and Steven starts to back away, "We study the ways of peace and harmony, we meditate about the universe, and our place in it."

Steven, backing away, answer nervously "I... think it's amazing, Ramattra. It really is something amazing, this whole concept and study. And it seems like a good path for your race..."

Ramattra stops, with a question, "We try to coexist with humanity, but humanity has no interest in sharing its world. How many omnicos still have to perish in the name of human dreams, Steven?"

Steven stops, together with Ramattra. He ponders the question, and finally understands what's happening, answering "I-I'm sorry, I won't help you destroy the humanity. I understand that you must have had many problems, but humanity is not limited to the problems your people have encountered, sir. I can try to help you and your kind, but no blood in between, no fighting!"

Ramattra stares into Steven's eye, "Enough is enough... our race has only one generation left, which is finite, and dying very fast... we can find our place... and we must... join me, AND TOGETHER WE WILL CREATE A BETTER WORLD FOR OMNICS AND GEMS! I know your race stopped here, so you guys ran into problems too, didn't you?! I saw the abandoned planets and your kind hiding, we can destroy this oppression!"

Steven takes two steps forward, anger in his eyes. He understands Ramattra's apparent desperation, but doesn't agree with the way he seeks to arrange it, "I believe I can understand your anger and frustration, but this is not how you go about solving problems! Our species... stopped here because I wanted! I decided this! Because we can live in peace with the humans, in hiding! And... and if you're going to hurt the humans, I'll have to stop you!"

Ramattra blocks a direct blow from Steven, with pink bubbles on his fist, using his staff. Steven's fist slides beside Ramattra's staff, as he pushes his staff to the right throwing his body to the left; "So... is that so, Diamondhead? You'll surrender everything out of weakness to humans?! Weak, with no strength to sacrifice, no will to act, you only have this to offer?! SUFFER AS I SUFFERED!"In a split second, a purple circle appears beneath Steven, along with the staff's purple glow. This circle creates a great attraction from the earth to the entity that is in the circle. Steven tries to withdraw, to stay on his feet, but the pressure is such that the adult falls to his knees, thanks to Ramattra.
