Am I the only one who still listens to Pink Floyd? Anyway...

A storm thunders loudly outside, raining beating at the roof, Diamond sleeps on the couch.

In Diamond's dream:

"Just be quick and grab it, we are going to be crushed at this rate." Diamond said in a hushed voice. The roof continued to slide down toward them.
"Yeah, yeah," Mica said, "I've got it." He reached down grabbing the icon. He pulled the long key shaped device out of its hold and the roof stopped. "So, Topaz is getting the circuits, I have the controls, and Ruby?"
"Covering our exit."
"I don't like the idea that we have to steal tech from our own ship, especially when we have this place."
"Well we do." Topaz said coming around the corner, ruby just behind her. She was beautiful, 6'5" and only looked 16, though as gems always are, she was much older than that. She had long light blue hair that she kept behind her shoulders and wore a plain white t-shirt with blue jeans. Then there was Ruby... Ruby was only 5'5" but every inch of her filled with an attitude of kindness until you got on her bad side, there you had no chance. She kept her hair short and red, wearing medium length shorts and a red tank top.
"Let's just make our way out of here back to the cave." Diamond said.
"What even is this stuff?" Topaz asked, her arms full of parts.
"It's how we will contact the other colony." Diamond replied as they began to head toward the beach.
"What do you mean "other colony"" Ruby said, making air quotes.
"Rose told me of another planet that had a revolt. The odd thing is it had no life, just resources. They, however, don't have wailing stones, so our best bet is to modify ours to send a message to their systems." Diamond said pensively.
"Why did Rose never tell any of us this?" Mica inquired.
"Deniability. Homeworld thought, and still thinks, that I died in the war. If they got any of you, however, it would have been possible for them to torture the information out of you." Diamond explained. They walked in silence for a while before they finally returned to their cave that they called home.

In a cave just off the beach (still in dream):

"How long can we keep supplies to survive?" Mica asked.
"You saw that red eye, and those robonoids that have been sent here. As long as those continue to show up we need to be able to ward off their detection, once they stop we can try to relay to the others." Diamond replied.
Suddenly multiple loud hisses came from the outside of the cave.
"GAH, MOTHER!" Ruby screamed as a large gem python coiled around her constricting her so she could not finish her shout. Then with a large puff of mist she retreated into her gem to heal. It was something all gems could do but had no control over.
"What, how did they..?" Mica started but was strangled before he could even pull his weapon. Topaz pulled out two daggers holding both in the ice pick grip. Diamond equipped his sword. They both battle the snakes, slashing and stabbing and fighting. Only one remained, not like the others, it was a venomous cobra. It latched it fangs deep into Topaz's leg and she fell with a scream of pain. Diamond seeing this thrust his sword into the snake.
"TOPAZ, NO DON'T LEAVE ME! YOU CAN'T HAVE A MISSION TO COMPLETE!" Diamond yelled as he turned his attention from the now defeated snake to his friend. Then Topaz was pulled into her gem. He bifurcated the final snake and gathered all of the snake's gems together, bubbled them and sent them away. He picked up Ruby and Mica's gems to do the same, but then he fell to his knees. He picked up Topaz' gem and gently ran one finger down her gem... right along a massive crack in it.

"GAHHH!" Diamond screamed as he jolted awake, sitting up so fast he pulled a back muscle.
"You ok?" Came a voice behind him. Amethyst was sitting on the kitchen counter looking at him.
"Fine." He replied rubbing his sore back.
"Really? It seemed like you were really freakin' out over there."
"Why were you watching me in the first place?" Diamond asked, now refusing to make eye contact with her.
"Originally; looking for food, then when I heard you I thought might as well stay a few minutes in case you woke up."
"You don't seem like the "talk about it" type." Diamond said his voice rising slightly.
"Didn't say I was, calm down, we don't want to wake up Steven or anyone else."
"Yeah yeah," he said, his voice returning to a whisper, "you just don't understand what it is like to go through the things that I did."
"I may not have had my best friends die as it sounded like, you slightly talk in your sleep, but I am really short for a gem, look at Pearl, Garnet, Rose, now even you. When i was still in early learning I was always last, last to be chosen to practice with, last to be noticed, I wasn't always how I am now."
"What do you mean how you are now?"
"Full of attitude as Pearl would put it."
