Prologue: The Next Step
Space is cold, dead and unforgiving place, crazy are those who venture into it. But every now and then an oasis is found among the stars. Our earth is an oasis, rich in life and resources, our primitive species is no threat to the cosmos, an easy target for colonisation and just what Topaz had been looking for.
Pink diamond had sent Topaz out to find a planet for her first colony. The planet had good composition for gem production, great warriors would be created here.
The little ship zoomed along the ocean. Until it came soon a small island, the perfect place for a c-series galaxy warp. Bismuth disembarked from the ship carrying supplies. Letting the parts drop to the floor she begun building knowing little of the dark times ahead.

Ch. 1 Frankenstein's Gem
I'm sure you have heard of Frankenstein's monster, well I'm about as close as you can get to it.
In a dimly lit tunnel a man runs, he's running from some invisible threat, behind him the tunnel is falling apart, rubble erupting into clouds as panels crash into the floor. The running man is tall, about five and a half feet tall, he is thin all-over, his hair is navy blue, his eyes are like blue smoke, he wears old tattered genes a grey shirt with a pale yellow star and a black trench coat. As he runs he notices that he can see light at the end of the tunnel.
One week earlier
Doctor Doughton is one of the world's leading researchers in the field of gem-ology and an important figure in the war effort, the war was one sided when it started, humans were pests to these aliens, and despite his hard work the war would still be one sided if it wasn't for the Crystal Gems. Yes they deserve all the credit, the doctor thought to himself as he worked in His lab. His lab was quite small, it had all the basic necessities. The doctor's current project was an artificial Gem, this Gem was constructed from mostly earth gems, but the doctor had snuck some Gem shards in to the design, it would never work without them. The shape was that of two square pyramids stacked base to base, the top half of the casing had been removed, wires ran from inside the Gem running to a computer. The computer had various readouts displaying information in real time. The figures confirm a partial conscience but the Gem can't take a forum. The Doctor pondered this information unable to figure out why these problems were Present.
"How goes the project Doc" Doughton looked up from his desk, in the door was Cliff Jord the Doctors young assistant a tall skinny lad, he works here helping the Doctor with his projects.
"Not good Cliff, the Gem has partial thought but it can't take a form. And I can't figure out why!" the Doctor cried clearly annoyed, he tended to do that when things get difficult Cliff mused.
"What about giving it a body and using the Gem as a mind and Battery."
"No that wouldn't work, it emits the wrong kind of energy and robotics are too fragile for this. Unless we use a biological body, no we can't make one and nobody would ever volunteer." The Doctor continued to ramble on, coming up and dismissing ideas constantly. Cliff was having an internal debate he could volunteer but what would happen to him? Would he stay himself or become someone new, he couldn't say for sure. But what did he have to lose, he lived in the lab's office, didn't have a family or any friends. And there was so many people suffering, this invention could save lives.
"I'll do it"
The Doctor stopped mid sentence "what? You could die, are you sure about this?" Cliff gave him a look of confidence. "Okay, if your sure" the Doctor was concerned but he wasn't about to pass up the only chance he had to get his invention working.
After several hours of hard work and labour the two of them finally had rigged up a system to implant the Gem. "Now Cliff, this won't be painless. The Gem has to be directly connected to your blood stream, so the back needs to directly connect to the heart, if this goes wrong you will bleed out. Now there's no shame in backing out now."
"Thanks but I'm going to stick with my decision."
"You are the bravest man I know. Take these pain killers and go lay down" The Doctor gave Cliff Several Tablets. Cliff swallowed them whole and laying back on the table. "Good luck Cliff." The Doctor switched on the machine but had to leave being unable to bear the screams.
