“When do you think they’ll be back, Lazuli? We got back from the moon in seconds. How long does it take to make a fake report?”

Footsteps pounded through the network of cells, echoing over and over down each narrow metal corridor. Jaspers weren’t known--weren’t built-- for their shy, retiring stride, and this one in particular took great pride in each floor-shattering thump. 

She paused in front of a cell door. Her lip curled. 

“So, this is the little brat who thought she could just fly home?”  

Jasper crouched until they were practically nose-to-gemstone-nose. Her teeth flashed green behind the cell partition. Usually she took no notice of Diamond-ordered prisoners; they tended to be small, morose little things, higher ups or defected Rubies, and no fair fun in a fight. But this one....this one was just too rich. A gem from Earth? 

A Gem from Earth. 

“Surprised you survived so long. Has Rose Quartz’s army really grown so weak? Can’t even destroy something so small?” Her smile grew wider, the usual snarl of a delighted Quartz. But behind the grinning disdain lay something else; something very much like curiosity. Jasper wasn’t usually given over to introspection, but she’d begun to wonder. 

“Or does she still think mercy some great prize?”
