Citrine's Hand Ship
Data Extracting Chambers

Amethysts 8XG and 8XJ fidgeted on the spot as they stood at the doorway of the Data Extracting Chambers, they were told they did have to like what was going to happen to the rebel gems, but it still didn't ease their minds as they watched their commander stand beside a rare Olivine of Era 1. Off to the side and waiting on her orders was Orange Pearl of course, but both Amethysts had their attention focused on what was going to happen to the poofed gems bubbled up and held within separate stasis fields.

Meanwhile from Citrine's perspective, or more accurately Tanya's, she sat on an elevated platform with a table and hoverchair just behind an Olivine gem; Tanya had her hands steepled while she rested her elbows on the desk as she waited for the Olivine operator to extract memories from the rebels that managed to break their way onto her ship. All four gems were in separate status fields for separate data extraction, allowing the process to run smoothly at one gem at a time rather than all at once and risk a jumbled bit of info to be lost through processing the memories all at once. Tanya's eyes glanced at the Olivine gem at work, waiting when the gem would finish keying in the commands for the memory extractor to begin.

Said gem was a darker shade of green compared to a peridot, and had none of the limb enhancers needed for era 1 peridots; The gem's hair was tied back into a dark forest green haired bun, while she wore a similar outfit to a peridot but darker in shade. Over the Olivine's eyes she wore a light green visor that had information streaming in while she worked on a pedestal-gem-like console that projected a holo-keyboard, her finger digits moved quick as if she was playing a piano keyboard. Her expression was that of focus on her job with a bit of a relaxed demeanor.

After a few more moments of the Olivine gem working on the information extractor, she keyed in one more tap before facing Tanya with a quick salute. "The extractor is primed and ready, my Citrine." She spoke to Tanya with her head angled a bit up to look directly at her commander.

With a curt nod from Tanya, she had a holoscreen for her to use to peruse through the memories of the rebel gems, "Begin the process, facet 3x7 Olivine." Tanya gave the gem under her command the greenlight, "I want information dating back at least one rotation ago, see if we can get a bead on if they came into contact with any central leaders of this rebellion of this planet." she commanded from her Olivine under her command.

"Right away ma'am." The Olivine gem responded with a perky smile as she was quick to begin working on the holo-console, with a few swipes and typing, the Ametrine Gem out of the four gems had its stasis field project a holo-monitor screen out into the air for all to see. Tanya looked at her projected holo-monitor above her desk, and placed her fingers onto the screen to begin scrolling through the point of few of the Ametrine gem's eyes. "Hmm." Tanya let out a hum of thought as she wasn't getting anything of note as she scrolled through the footage of the rebel gem's memory.

"Nothing…" Tanya muttered under her breath, before glancing over at the Olivine gem. "Pull up the Chalcedony's memories, I'm getting somewhere." she murmured out the last part. Olivine turned and typed in a few more commands, and soon the Chalcedony's memories were on full display. After Tanya began scrolling through a few more memories of the gem's time prior to the present, Tanya splayed her fingers on her screen to pause it.

After viewing the paused memory for a few more seconds, Tanya's eyes narrowed at a blurred image of a figure that was on a grandiose stage in the midst of what she assumed was a rallying assembly; Tanya's eyes looked through the memory for any of the other present gems within the stasis fields to use for a closer look . "Olivine, bring up the Onyx gem's memories." she commanded tersely with an angered look.

Olivine gulped and sweated, remembering the last time she saw her commander show such a face. "At once, my Citrine." the gem responded with a salute, before swiftly keying into her console to bring up the Onyx gem's memories.

As the gem in question had their memories pulled up in full display for Tanya, she skimmed through the footage memories until she reached the point of the rally assembly footage. Once Tanya paused at a more clearer image of who was rallying the gems up, she spoke out loud with commanding authority. "Olivine, send these gems to the brigs." she snapped out as she stood up from her table.

Olivine blinked momentarily before facing her commander fully, "Shall I send the image forward to homeworld for evidence?" she questioned her superior.

As Tanya descended down from the elevated platform she was one, she stopped once she was at the bottom and turned to glance up at the enlarged image of who Tanya was up against. "Have it sent post haste, if you would, Yellow Diamond will need to know our reasons for taking Pryope into custody once we put a stop to this planet's rebellion." Tanya informed the Olivine Gem

Olivine saluted Tanya crisply, "At once, my Citrine." she responded back with attentiveness, before she went to work on doing her duty.

While Tanya exited out of the room with the two Amethyst gems trailing behind her, the screen that she was viewing at her desk was still up. On the bright yellow holo-screen was the paused memory of a Pyrope gem, and she was working up the gems into a frenzy.

Planet F78 surface
South West Hemisphere

Droves of Loyalist Rubies are seen charging in alongside their commanding Quartz gems, held in the arms of Rubies in particular were an added addition for their ranks; as the Rubies charged in as the frontline regiments, they fired off destabilizer rounds from their laser guns. Running in behind the regiments of Rubies were Jaspers, and one particular Jasper was leading the charge of a separate regiment with a tad bit more fervor than the rest.

Jasper, a quartz soldier made from the beta kindergarten of Earth, was ecstatic at the chance to put a proper end to another rebellion. As she and the rest of the regiments finally clashed at the center of the battlefield against the rebel gems, Jasper grinned in satisfaction as she blocked a sword with her forearm from a green Prasiolite gem. "Weak." she said with contempt, before smashing her helmet on her head into the other's head that caused said gem to poof. As much as she'd like to stomp and shatter the defeated gem, she was under orders from her commander to bring all defeated gems back to base for their factory reset.

"Hmph." Jasper sneered in contempt as she crossed her arm to block an incoming hammer from a Bismuth that charged in with their hands transformed into a hammer. "Come on! You think that'll defeat me!?" Jasper cackled in delight as she brushed the attack off from the surprised Bismuth, before she pulled the rebel gem in by their wrist and whipped her head down to poof the Bismuth away. As the Bismuth gem clattered to the ground, a squadron of pebbles zoomed around and through the legs of the loyalists and rebels within the battle; using their own mode of transportation via small hover ships to compensate their small size and rush through the battle, they arrived next to the gem of the Bismuth and picked the gem up into their transport vehicle before flying away back to base.

Jasper had to roll her eyes at the absurdity of it all as she fought against a duo of Fayalite and Larnite gems, she didn't know why her commander was so insistent on using every 'resource' possible, But she had to give credit where it was deserved; For the passed thousand cycles since…her Diamond's shattering…Yellow Diamond's Citrine has done nothing but succeed in quelling rebellion after rebellion, and her esoteric knowledge of warfare was in her honest opinion mind boggling. 'But I guess that's to be expected, Yellow diamond made Citrine herself.' Jasper reasoned in her mind as she raised her arms to block two spears from impaling her, she flashed the Fayalite and Larnite gems a savage grin. "I was made for this, unlike you pathetic worms!" Jasper boasted to the frightened rebel gems, before grabbing the offending spears and throwing them down along with the wielders.

As the two gems lay before Jasper in a dazed state, she brought her arms up and smashed her forearms into the chests of the two; the amount of force applied by Jasper caused the two gems to poof away, with the only evidence of them being in the fight was their gems clattering on the ground. A loud thundering sound of footstep brought Jasper's attention up to see the rebel gems had a large fusion of different gem charge in towards the front lines, any other time, she would sneer at the thought of gems fusing together to be stronger; her thoughts were quelled when from the back lines a group of Topezes fused together, the formed fusion charge in to meet up with the other fusion of the rebel gems.

As Jasper resumed her own duty of poofing the rebel gems by her hands, her thoughts strayed to her commander's thoughts on fusions. 'To say that Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak Gems stronger, is nothing but hubris to say the least' Citrine's words echoed in Jasper's mind as the two fusions fought against each other in the backdrop while she dealt with a red Tephroite Gem that tried to climbed up on her back and stab a sword into her head, only for it to bounce off her helmet. Reaching up behind her, and grasping the offending gem around her neck, Jasper slammed the rebel into the ground with a nasty smirk. "Useless and weak, you should have stuck to what you were made for!" She chastised the gem, before she slammed her helmeted head into the Tephroite's torso, poofing the gem's body away and its gem to only remain for the pebbles to come in and take it back for its factory reset.

In the peripheral of her vision, Jasper witnessed the Topaz fusion grapple with the Rebel fusion of different gems. 'You say fusions are a cheap tactic? All I see is a super weapon just waiting to be utilized for its full potential. Jasper, don't ever say a tactic is weak, unless you analyze the tactic fully.' Jasper cringed slightly at the beratement she received from her Commander laying into her on the merits of Fusions. Glancing up for a moment to see the Topaz fusion hook her arms under the rebel fusion, she watched with mild fascination as the Topaz fusion threw the traitorous fusion of gems into a swath of rebel gems. The large body of the mixed fusion landing atop their own allies caused all of them to poof from its weight alone, Jasper 'tsked' as she watched the Topaz fusion leap up and land atop the fallen mixed gem fusion with their elbow pointed at the torso. With a loud poof, the mixed fusion popped followed by the sight of the gems it was made of to clatter to the ground around the Topaz fusion as she stood back up. "Show off." Jasper muttered under her breath while she blocked another attack from a whip this time.

The offending enemy this time was a Sodalite, a predecessor to the Lazurite line that eventually paved the way for the makings of the Lapis Lazuli gem line. "You!" Jasper spat with contempt for the older model of gem that predated Pink Diamond's time. "You'd throw your lot in with the rebels!?" she accused the gem as the gem tried to use her whip once more, it wrapped around Jasper's arm, just before Jasper smirked as she grabbed the offending weapon and yanked the Sodalite towards her. Just as said gem was about to open her mouth to explain herself, "Don't bother, you rebel gems always spout the same thing!" she yelled in anger as she slammed her helmet into the head of the rebel gem. With a pop, the Sodalite gem's body poofed and its gem clattered to the ground for another squad of pebbles to come and take the gem to the base.

A loud horn echoed from behind the enemy lines, prompting Jasper to look out to the horizon to see a second wave of rebel gems coming in to reinforce the front lines; Jasper glanced around to see they were faring well, if she had to guess, they were down to a third of what they started out with while the enemies were already down to one fourth of the forces. Jasper gleamed a savage grin as she faced the enemies head on. "Throw as many as you can, it doesn't matter!" She shouted, before curling in on herself to spin and blitz through the forces of her enemies as a bright yellow razor ball. As Jasper bulldozed her way through a swath of more enemies, she stopped herself and uncurled from her ball of death to find herself in the midst of the second wave.

Jasper momentarily glanced behind her, only to focus back to the task at hand with a grin of satisfaction; What remained of the first wave of rebel gems she and her fellow loyalist fought against, had dwindled down more from Jasper's action of blitzing through the enemies. Just as she found herself surrounded at all sides, Japer only welcomed the challenge more. Blocking more attacks with her forearms from the rebels' weapons, she reached out and grabbed two gems by the throat before she swung them around into their own allies with wild abandon. "Is that all you got, you pathetic scum!?" she yelled as she fought against the gems around her, until the gems in her grasp popped and poofed back into the gems from undertaking too much bodily harm.

With a sneered of disappointment, Jasper wiped her hands of the mess, before quickly blocking a large gem sword from a Prasiolite gem with her helmet. "So close, but not enough!" Jasper boasted, before butting the weapon away and slammed her head into the offending gem. Another pop and poof later, Jasper now stood amongst several gems around her. With a huff of mild exhaustion, Jasper glanced around to find that her allies had finished the remaining first wave and joined up with her. As she continued onward to fight alongside her allies, the clouds above parted ways as Citrine's hand ship finally descended down and began firing off lasers from its fingertips into the far back lines of the enemies.

"Heh." Jasper mused with amusement as she watched the hand ship fly down and cause havoc on the enemies, until it stopped firing its laser before its fingers overheated. "You think I'm trouble? Wait till our Commander finally gets down here!" she shouted in her war cry as she fought against the rebel gems; Meanwhile from up in the sky, the Hand ship flew forward until it reached its destination in the landing zone for a proper base to be built up. With Citrine's ship now landed behind ally lines, Jasper could only wait until she could watch her Commander join another battle with her and the allies once more.

Hand Ship
Soon to be Base of operations

Within the ground the fingers of the ship were jabbed into the ground, while the cut off wrist part was laying down on the ground as Loyalist gems were going to and fro, in and out, all were working around the clock as they were propping up prefab buildings and walls for the base of operations to be built; In the midst of it all was a temporary prefab headquarters for Tanya and her lower ranked commanders to go over what's been going on so far.

Tanya had her hand up on her chin in a thinking pose while she rested her elbow in her other palm. In front of her was a table with a hologram of a live feed from the ongoing battle just outside not too far away, so far their forces were pushing the rebels back, allowing them some breathing room to build their base of operations with some ease. Around the table along with her were two Hessonites and one Emerald Gem.

Fixating her eyes on one of the Hessonites, Tanya pulled her hand away from her chin and leaned forward on the table with her hands to look closer toward the hologram on the table of the live feed from the frontlines of the ongoing battle. "Facet 93n cut 3231, what are the losses on our end so far?" she asked the gem in charge of the current front lines that were fighting against incoming swathes of rebels.

The Hessonite saluted her Citrine with a proud look, "So far, we have lost one third, and as you suggested to me, I took to heart to allow more than just two topazes to fuse." the gem responded, while gesturing towards the feed, "As you can see, the topazes can easily match the strength of mixed gem fusion." She informed Tanya, with a sour look at the mention of mixed gem fusions.

Tanya's eyes closed in mild frustration, but didn't let it show; she opened them back up and glanced towards the Hessonite gem, "Be careful how you look at mixed fusions, Facet 92n, underestimation towards mixed fusions may be your downfall." she warned the gem with a narrowed eye look.

"My apologies." The Hessonite straightened up with a nervous look as Tanya directed her ire at her, "It's just my observation that different gems fused together is taboo for a reason, everything must fit as one afterall." she reasoned for herself, thinking how her Diamonds view mixed fusions.

"You say that now." Tanya said while she directed her gaze around the table at the other gems, "But you never know what benefit we may gain, if mixed gems are finally pushed to be allowed for use." Tanya warned with a disapproving frown.

The Emerald Gem across the table from Tanya gasped in distaste, "Surely you jest." the gem spat with a seething look directed at Tanya, "You would defy the Diamonds in such a taboo practice." she inquired with a look of suspicion.

Tanya slammed her hands on the desk to shut the dissenting gems up, she narrowed her eyes at each one. "I would not defy, I am merely looking at what potential can be used, I do not accept wasted potential." She hissed out with annoyance directed at the gems.

The other Hessonite chose that point to throw in her own thoughts with a troubled look, "But my Citrine." She began to say, while earning the attention of Tanya. "You can't expect to get away with such a proposal. Just think of what may happen if White Diamond hears of such a thing." she warned, shuddering to think of all the gems that became gray-white puppets of White Diamond.

Tanya sighed in irritation, "Enough of this. This is getting us nowhere, we can discuss the matters another time." she said with a disapproving frown.

The Emerald captain nodded with a sigh, "Agreed." she remarked, with the Hessonites dropping the subject as well for the time being. Soon after, the four began plotting the next course of battles for the following days, and not long after, the gems save for Tanya, exited the building.

With her citrine gem eyes, Tanya viewed the ongoing battle from the live feed, before turning on her feet to head out to aid her troops. "This needs to end sooner." she muttered as she exited the building, with plans on inserting herself into the battlefield as well. As Tanya stood on the ground outside, she faced towards where the battle was going on at, and folded her fingers together to mimic the act of cracking her fingers. 'What I wouldn't give to taste coffee…though it'd be difficult with a body constructed out of light.' Tanya mused.
