Author's Note:
Good day to all of you who are reading this. I will be surprised if this even makes it to market let alone makes it to your fingertips. I am making this a separate note/chapter mostly because of a major problems I had within using my take on the story.
Firstly, I could not figure out to both make the names for areas on earth seem alien and yet familiar without making an entire map. So major regions and sometimes cities are just named after the cities and areas we call them today.
Secondly, as of writing this we are not given anything on how earth looked during the terraforming and colonization of earth. My work-around will be having different areas of earth be worked/lived by a various gem types in that area.
Thirdly comes from how we record time. I am going to use days, years, weeks, and months when talking about earth because I am at a loss on how to properly record time to an intergalactic empire.
Introduction
To Peridot 3ONG,
By the orders of the diamonds, you are to cease work immediately and send all copies of this manuscript to the nearest Diamond Collection agent for destruction. Even if Emerald KF61 commissioned this work to be done, continuing will result in either shattering or corruption.

To Agate ANB5,
Tough Shit. The Diamonds are wrong about their conclusion of the war and I am writing to prove it to them. If you manage to capture me or any of my copies you will see the errors they made.
-Peridot 3ONG
To whoever manages to get a hold on these copies: history repeats itself every cycle, if the Diamonds won't listen to this matter than maybe you can. The Rose Rebellion showed the cracks in our system and if the Diamonds won't heed my words of warning than maybe someone else will exploit it. The Rose Rebellion certainly wasn't the first rebellion the Diamonds faced but with complacency in the face of a desperate people the Diamonds floundered.
The Diamonds over years couldn't break the armies of Rose Quartz even though they had so many opportunities at being able to not only breaking the armies but also Breaking Rose Quartz herself. In my summation of the war, the instance of Blue Diamond to capture and interrogate Rose was the war's ultimate downfall. At every turn Blue Diamond hesitated and let Rose get away. It was only the instance of corruption by Yellow and White Diamond that managed to win the war. And even then we haven't been able to return due to the radiation of the corruption.
This conclusion comes from a collection of records taken from the Great Library in Homeworld, interviews of soldiers that I could contact, and partially from the official (read: doctored) reports. The war that shook the power of the Diamonds should not be ignored and the willful ignorance of the Diamonds will only end in downfall.
