The Crystal Gems arrived in a barren wasteland with several mountains surrounding them via Warp Pad, standing there for a few moments, feeling the cool wind blow through their hair. Steven was behind SE, moving him onto the ground by his wheelchair as soon as the other Gems stepped off.

Steven: Is this is really the place that memory building is? Looks more like a desert, but gray.

SE: Yes, the Gem Archives are just up ahead. This area was once a dense forest, and had to be landscaped to continue its construction. I should now, during the war I often visited this place.

Steven: Oh, so that's why we brought you with us!

Garnet: Here it is.

The Gems stopped in front of a massive metal structure, almost reaching the clouds. On both sides laid two cracked, ruined crystals which once levitated centuries ago above two large pillars, it was like a temple from fairytales.

If you remember, back when Black was discussing the Rose Quartz situation, he was looking over a series of Gem Architecture, and this final image is what our group was standing before.

Steven: Whoa, that's one big library!

Amethyst: Why's the door so high up?

SE: The native life kept trying to invade Black Diamond's settlements, so he instructed the future buildings be constructed out of Human reach. But we can access the door through here, move me towards the center pillar.

Steven: ...

SE: ...*Sigh* Move me to the center pillar, please...

Steven: There you go!

He pushed the machine closer, and SE inserted his five fingers into five small holes in a diamond formation, suddenly raising a hidden platform they were standing on, quickly rising to the massive doors.

SE: Thankfully for you lot, I only need one hand to activate the machines here.

Slowly, the doors slid open, letting the afternoon sun illuminate an open, dusty chamber.
