Yellow Diamond's 'Workspace'
Sitting upon her massive yellow chair that enabled her to turn around with it, Yellow Diamond was resting her chin on her fist while using her other hand to hold up a holodata plate to review the ongoing process of all her colonies. Her expression had a certain air of boredom, mixed with tiredness; however another emotion was barely there but it was buried deep down to allow her to work efficiently. It was sadness, sadness for Pink Diamond and her passing, however Yellow Diamond had to persist for the good of the empire, unlike a certain Blue sister of hers; it was already more than a thousand cycles since then, and yet Yellow has been stuck taking over Blue's slack on her part in managing her own colonies.
Yellow Diamond has had to even require a certain Yellow Quartz of hers that has been her shining gem amongst all her other Quartz and Emeralds that try to amount to even an ounce to her favored Quartz. If she remembered right, and she does most of the time of all the identifications of every gem, (She was a ruler, and her station demanded she knew who worked for her,) Her favored Quartz was Quartz Facet 74ny4 cut v0n, said Quartz was her a creation of her own making; Yellow had made Facet 74ny4 cut v0n with the intent of having a right hand worker, to be her personal eyes and ears across the Diamond Empire and its many colonies.
A rare smile formed on Yellow Diamond's face as she leaned back and began reading the incoming reports of the very Gem she was thinking about, "Northern quadrant is stabilizing, most rebellions have been quelled, in the process of taking out the remaining pockets." Yellow read out aloud to herself with a satisfied smile, indeed, her personal creation of a Yellow Quartz was giving her an emotion that she wasn't sure what to put a pin on. It wasn't quite pride, but at the same time it was, it wasn't love, but at the same time it felt close; perhaps the feeling she was getting was close to the emotion that the primitive mothers in the human zoo have towards their children…no, that can't quite be it…
An incoming call brought Yellow Diamond out of her musings when a call was coming in towards her personal channel, a few thoughts ran through her mind of who it might be, but she soon found out when she scrolled through her dataslate to check who was pinging her; Yellow Diamond raised an eyebrow when she saw who was calling, it was her Favored Quartz of all callers. Seeing as it had to have been important for Facet 74ny4 cut v0n to contact her right now, Yellow Diamond allowed the call to connect through.
From a nearby holoprojector, a hexagon shaped screen was projected up into the air to show the caller. It was a half sized Yellow Quartz giving the diamond salute in respect to Yellow Diamond. "My diamond." the Favored Quartz spoke with a crisp tone, "I apologize for the impromptu call." The Quartz facet intoned while keeping her salute up.
"Hmm." Yellow Diamond let out a sound of thought, "Apologies granted." she spoke with an authoritative yet relaxed demeanor, "You calling now, must mean something must have come up that needs my express attention, I was afterall going through your reports just now."
The Favored Quartz relaxed her arms down but kept them clasped behind her behind, "Indeed my diamond! I've just got word the the planet of F78 in sector 9 from the Southern Quadrant has just broken into rebellion!" Facet 74ny4 cut v0n announced with a worried tone, causing Yellow diamond to glare at the screen. "My diamond! Apologies for the news, I just wanted to inform you to get express permission to reign in the sector before we have another Northern Quadrant on our hands!"
Yellow Diamond smirked a bit and waved over her favored Quartz' worries, "Fret not, I was directing my ire towards the mountain of work and documenting I'll be needing to do after this is handled." Yellow spoke out with amusement slipping out in her tone, prompting the Yellow Quartz to relax a bit. Yellow diamond stood up and allowed her two way call to show her Yellow Quartz her full might, "Facet 74ny4 cut v0n, I hereby give you full express permission to put out this new rebellion with full impunity, leave no gem unshattered!" she ordered out.
The Favored Quartz gave Yellow diamond one more salute, "By your orders, my Diamond!" The Yellow Quartz responded, before the call disconnected. Yellow Diamond sighed a breath of relief and satisfaction, it was good to have at least one real good competent gem amongst her subjects.
"Then again, I did make her to my specifications, I'd be a fool to think otherwise that'd she'd not be up to the task." Yellow Diamond prided herself, meanwhile however, in the far corner of the room where a pearl was working, Yellow Diamond's pearl to be exact. Yellow pearl was grumbling with hidden jealousy, but couldn't very well say anything given her station.
"What was that Pearl?" Yellow Diamond questioned with a curious tone as she turned to look at her personal pearl with an expression of interest, Yellow Pearl offered her Diamond an embarrassed look. "Nothing, my diamond!" She saluted her Diamond, "Just wishing Facet 74ny4 cut v0n the best of luck." she responded nervously, 'lucky clod! Why does she get all the attention, when I'm the one helping my Diamond here!?" Yellow pearl pouted in her mind.
Yellow Diamond smiled and took her leave, "Luck has nothing to do with my little Quartz's success, but the thought is welcome. Come pearl, I have work to do in Blue's office; I'll be picking up her slack after all." she ordered out, prompting Yellow Pearl to pick up her dataslate and rush after her. "Yes My Diamond!" she said as the two exited out of the room.
Meanwhile with Yellow Diamond's Yellow Quartz
'Lucky Pearl, you get to stay safe on homeworld.' grumbled Tanya, or to most of her gems under her command, Facet 74ny4 cut v0n. Tanya was almost amused that her name was simply made into leet speak, but that was neither here nor there at the moment. She had another sector and quadrant to quell, she just hoped it wouldn't take another century like the one she had just finished putting down.
