while still hovering outside the large axiom, Rub-e runs out of the fire extinguisher, she sighs and Saf-ir hovers on over to her and holds her so she wont float off into space and die.
She flies to the side of the axiom where a small opening was where a pr-l seemed to be working outside the ship to fix a few bugs. Entering the large metal door-it shuts behind them loudly leaving the Pr-l hopelessly stuck outside the axiom.
Rub-e and saf-ir went through the halls, eventually finding a large room to their left full of large boxes stacked on top of each other. Both of them hid behind a large box as two patrol gems walked by holding complicated-looking guns to their sides. Rub-e stayed behind sapphire as the blue gem looked back the box they hid behind to see if the guards have left. Rub-e looked at saf-irs gemmed hand and smiled, saf-ir noticed a large portal where gems meant for cleaning, like Pr-Ls, go and dump trash left behind and found on the floor.
Saf-ir looked at ruby. "shhhh..." She said, quickly peeking past the boxes once more before looking back at the red gem " Stay put" She ordered before placing a smaller box on rub-es head then quickly flew past the guards unnoticed towards the warp.
-With Caption quartz-
"pshhhhh" caption quartz said as she flew a smaller fake toy version of the axiom to a globe of the earth "prepare for landing, we're here everybody, yay, caption-caption we're home, its so beautiful-" Before she could say anything else, the warp pad behind her activated and saf-ir stood atop.
Caption quartz looked at her confused for a second, but then saf-ir summoned a light blue bubble made by her, consistent of the small but sprouting plant within a dirty shoe. Caption quartz threw her toys to the side, jumped up, and ran over to saf-ir. "h-how did you find it?!" She said, popping the bubble and taking the shoe with the plant gently in her hands. "We can go back home for the first time!" She said with excitement.
"Wait a minuet...hold on"
-With Rub-E-
Rub-e was clenching and unclenching her fists in at attempt to occupy herself as she waited for saf-ir to come back. She was still hidden behind the large boxes with the smaller box on her head. After a few minuets she finally decided to peek a look past the boxes to see what was going on.
She noticed the two guards, still standing there doing absolutely nothing, so she found the opportunity to place the box off of her head and onto the ground and run past them without them noticing in which she had succeeded.
She ran through the metal halls of the axiom, surprisingly not running into any guards. Finally,Found a trash shoot that went up and down through huge and slightly dirty tubes. She climbed in and began to climb up the empty trash shoot.
-With Pr-L-
Pr-L was still, unfortunately, following the dusty and dirty tracks rub-e had made everywhere she had gone. She was cleaning everything, eventually following the path to the trash shoot that ruby was climbing up at that moment. She looked around for any sign of another gem, then she made her way to the trash shoot, looking in it but, rub-e must have already been too far up for her to see. How unfortunate
-With Caption quartz-
"There you go, little guy" Caption quartz purred to the plant as she gently poured some water over it. " You must have come a long way for a drink of water" She smiled, putting a gentle finger on one of its small leaves. "you just need someone to look after you, is all." She said, looking at her reflection in the shiny black metal of the counter in her control room. She could see herself in the reflection, holding the plant. She nodded seriously "...we need to go back."
Caption quartz clicked on a button that was the communicator "Jas-pr, come down here.", she got a 'eye eye' in return before not moments later, the tall and intimidating gem approached and stood next to quartz. Saf-ir watched the tall gem, observantly.
Jas-pr had noticed the plant back back and caption quartz was holding it, this brought up a red flag for jas-pr. "Jas-pr, put up auto-pilot, i need you to look up more on this plant"
"Not necessary caption" was jas-prs response. She held out her hand towards the plant."You may give the plant to me."
"You know what, i should do it myself" She said with determination as she pulled the plant away slightly and walked over to her large transparent screen computer.
"Caption" Jas-pr said, walking infront of caption quartz, stopping her in her tracks " i insist you give me the plant"
"Jas-pr, get out of my way" Caption quartz ordered and tried to push jas-pr out of the way but failed.
"Caption, we can not go home."
"What are you talking about, why not?!" Quartz said, with an annoyed expression.
" That is classified information, caption, give me the plant" Jas-pr ordered, moving closer to quartz and reaching for the plant. Quartz pulled the plant back so jas-pr couldn't touch it.
"What are you saying, 'classified', you dont keep a secret from the caption!"
"Give me the plant" Jas-pr yelled now pushing caption quartz out of the way slightly.
"Tell me whats classified!"
"Give me the plant" She repeated. Caption quartz finally stood up straighter and got in jas-prs face.
"Tell me jas-pr, thats an order!" With that, jas-pr stopped for a second then backed off.
"Yes, ma'am" She said, moving to the computers. Another hologram of so called 'yellow diamond' showed up. She seemed less happy then usual and she coughed before speaking.
"Hey, autopilot. I got some bad news...umm...operation clean up has well, uhh..failed. The amount of waist has made life unsustainable on Earth. Darn it all, we are going to have to cancel operation 'recolonize' so just stay in the course that the ship takes you, and uhh..rather then just trying to fix this problem, it'll just remain easier for everyone to remain in space..."
"Easier?" Caption quartz interrupted.
"so uhh...im giving full autopilot to the captions jas-pr so uhh..remember, do not return to earth. i repeat: do not return to Earth." With that, the hologram disappeared which left a very sad and confused caption.
"now...the plant" jas-pr repeated once more.
"...No, wait a minuet" Caption quartz said, thinking for a moment " This message was created over 700 years ago, things have changed, we can still return to earth! "
"Ma'am, its unsustainable"
"Look at this plant!" Quartz said, holding up the plant " Its green and growing, its living proof that she was wrong!"
"Irrelevant, caption"
"What?! Its completely relevant!" Caption quartz walked over next to saf-ir and pointed out the large glass window towards space " Out there is our home, Jas-pr! A-and its in trouble. I cant just sit here and do nothing! Its all i have ever done! Its all anyone in this terrible ship has ever done! You do nothing!"
"if we stay in the axiom, we will survive"
"I dont want to survive!" Quartz yelled " I want to LIVE!"
"You must follow my directions, caption"
"AGH!" Quartz yelled in annoyance. She paused for a second to think, then she realized something. She fixed the hat on her head and turned to jas-pr. "Im the caption of the axiom. We are going home today." she declared. Jas-pr took a step toward her, sizing her up before snapping her fingers.
When she did tht, Ame-thys popped up behind her, ran up to caption quartz and snatched the plant out of her hand.
"Wha-? This is mutiny!" She said, stomping one foot on the floor. "Saf-ir, arrest her" With that order, saf-ir immediately summoned her gun and pointed it at ame-thys who immediately put her hands up in the air.
'Give it to me." Saf-ir ordered and held out her free hand. Ame-thys paused for a second, walked toward saf-ir, but instead of giving it to her she threw it past the blue gem and into the trash shoot.
"No!" Caption quartz yelled as she ran over to the trash shoot.
As if all was lost, saf-ir covered her mouth with her hand as she slowly approached the trash shoot with quartz. But, then the plant seemed to be coming up the trash shoot. As it came farther up, saf-ir had noticed a hand was holding it up. And sure enough, it was rub-es hand. Rub-e popped her head out the trash shoot and held up the plant
"RUB-E!" Saf-ir and caption quartz yelled in unison. "Rub-E give us the plant!" They both yelled again. Jas-pr ran up to rub-e and attempted to take the plant out of her hand. Rub-E dodged every attempted grab but eventually after jas-pr kept getting annoyed, she pulled out a stick like tazor rod and tazed rub-e.
Rub-E shook violently, dropping the plant to where jas-pr could get it, she fell back into the trash shoot, falling far down within it.
"No!" Saf-ir yelled, trying to push jas-pr out of the way.
Jas-pr tazed saf-ir too, she threw her unconscious body down the large trash shoot with rub-es. Jas-pr turned around to see Ame-thys: with a stoic expression. And caption quartz with a scared and mad expression.
"All communications are terminated. You are to be confined into this quarter until further notice." With that, jas-pr turned off all the computers to where it was dark and warped away, deactivating all the warps after she did so.
"mutiny! Mutiny i tell you!" Caption quartz yelled.
