[Prologue:The End of an Agate]
The horrifying screams of an Amethyst bellowed throughout the Peridot Facility. The Ammolite captain stationed there, let out a soft gasp and ran to the source of the screams with her Rubies. The Ammolite captain in particular had short, somewhat frazzled rainbow hair tied in a 50's headscarf (which yes, it did come with her form, it cant be untied, its kinda attatched to her). Her monochrome body is then later complimented by a rainbow snail shell on her back, the signature detail of all Ammolite gems. She was identified as Q93, and she was about a foot taller then the rubies, like most Ammolites as well. Her crossbow summoned and loaded, she and her rubies stopped in front of the scene, where the amethyst was on her knees, hands in front of her face, then clutching her hair in utter shock. There laid the shards of Moss Agate, the Agate in charge of the sation, just a foot away from the knees of the disturbed Amethyst in question.
"Amethyst! What- where did the perpetrator go? Imma get em!" She said, confident that her friend, the Amethyst, wouldnt do something like this. "Come on Rubies, SEARCH THE ENTIRE FACILITY PRONTO!" she said in her Brooklyn accent. The rubies scattered and went searching for the gem that shattered Moss Agate. She went over to Amethyst and helped her to her feet "Come on Amethyst, lets get you to Peridot, she can review the footage! Perhaps it even has a connection to that brief power outage!" she noted, trying to reassure the Amethyst in question.
Amethyst nodded, shaken at the sight. She was a softie, and had to learn to handle shattering a bit better, but she was a hard and loyal gem in the end. She was an average sized amethyst with hair that, at the very top, formed a sort of V shape, and was wavy all the way down to her mid back. Her identification was B77, and she was a part of the garrison for the Peridot Facility, along with Ammolite and her squadron of Rubies. As the two walked to the monitor room, she quickly asked the Squaridot in charge, "Please Peridot, you gotta play back the footage! Amethyst cant be the one who killed Moss Agate!" she pleaded.
"Ugh, your not gonna like the answer...the evidence will be...incriminating..." she played the footage from before the power outage.
Moss Agate, a chubby Agate with the standard Agate attire and glasses (again, part of her body, they have no true effect outside of aesthetics), was checking out the room under construction through the open door and shaking her head. "At this rate, we wont be done in time for the annual inspection...truely dissappointing these Nephrites are..." she said with a sigh. Then, an Amethyst looking exactly like B77, walked up behind her and smirked, "Hello my Agate, are you in need of assistance?" she asked plainly. Moss Agate turned with a sneer and said "No, and why are you out of your station B77? Are you looking to be punished? I wont have your nonsense, so you better be here for a reason or else I will BEAT YOU BACK TO YOUR STATION!" she said with a minor shout.
Suddenly, the door to the construction room closed as the Amethyst swiftly slammed the Moss agate against the wall and delivered a devastating blow to the moss agates gem, a flash and sparkle of a weapon being summoned and de-summoned, striking the gem and being ripped out swiftly afterwords, and finally the dying gasp and pop of the Moss Agate as she was shattered, had occurred. The power went out and darkened the already dim room, as two pairs of feet could be heard. When the lights came back on, the Amethyst could be seen screaming, and the rest is history.
Ammolite grit her teeth and stomped once. "No! It cant be! There has to be a mistake!" she said, the Amethyst curled up on the floor. "Nonononono! Im done for, ruined, ITS OVER! I swear I didnt do it but I..." she was barely able to finish her sentence as she was yanked to her feet and had both hands held behind her as she was forced against a wall by a Jasper. "SAVE IT REBEL SCUM!" she shouted. "PERIDOT, CALL THE DIAMONDS, WE NEED TO DELIVER THIS TRASH RIGHT NOW!" she shouted. "Okay just stop screaming, we already had enough of it from that one!" she said as she contacted the Yellow Diamond Hotline.
The Yellow Pearl was there and said "This is the Yellow Diamond hotline, this better be good, it wouldnt be wise to waste our Diamonds time!". "Yes, I am Peridot facet D cut 56, we have a situation regarding the murder of the Moss Agate in charge of our facility, as you can see behind me...the Amethyst is pinned, the Ammolites freaking out, and the Jasper is ready to deliver her. I have footage recorded and ready to submit at any time!"
"Hm...very well, I shall inform-" she was then cut off by Yellow Diamond "Enough...I heard, a Trial will be held for the Amethyst in question. Though I see it as a waste of time, I will respect our system and Blues wishes...tell them to prepare a ship for the Trial Station at once!" she commanded in her majestic splendor. "Yes my Diamond. Well you heard her, get a move on Peridot." she said as the call was ended.
Moments later, the ship was prepared. The gems who would be on board the ship were as follows:The Amethyst, the Jasper who detained her, the Squaridot, the Ammolite witness, and a Nephrite pilot. Ammolite sat next to the now cuffed Amethyst, who had her head hanging low and was softly sobbing. "Hey...look, its okay..." she said patting the Amethysts shoulder. "Theyre giving you a TRIAL! Im sure the Zircon in charge will prove your innocence in no time!" she said optimistically. Amethyst grunted "No...Blue Zircons never help, they always lose, every single time. And when they finally win, its over something petty and small...its a very biased system..." she said with a sigh.
"Hmph, you give our Diamonds very little credit, and the Zircons! Just try to have hope, its all we have in this empire!" she said with puffy cheeks. "Your too nice..." Amethyst said with a pained smile.
Meanwhile, a Kindergarten on a recently colonized planet had begun sorting its gems out and sending them off to every corner of Homeworlds empire. This is where a Blue Zircon was made. This Blue Zircon was identified as N64, and had a sleek, colonial ponytail that was a silver blue color as her body would consist of a simple business suit-like appearance, tie, pants, and all. She was mingling amongst her fellow Zircons when she was called upon for the trial of Amethyst B77.
"Geeze, I think I heard a passing mention of that trial from one of the Aristocrats in charge of sorting us out..." said a Yellow Zircon. "Your going to have a heck of a time out there, good luck N64~" she said in a genuinely friendly way. Perhaps too friendly for her own good. Blue Zircon sighed and nodded "My first trial already...I will prove my self to Homeworld that I can be a great Zircon! I WILL find the truth!" she said enthusiastically, being lead to the escort ship. The Agate in charge said "I want you to make Homeworld proud, best of luck to you Zircon, that is...if luck would even favor a Zircon."
And with those strangely backwards words of encouragement, she was flown over to the Trial Station, where the two groups would meet, and where the story could truly begin...
