Queries for the Diamonds [Q/A, IC]

[Nantoraka]

"Technology can just as easily overcome magic, can it not? I'm certain that being able to adjust the neural patterns of your being to, well, not want to slaughter everything carbon in your way should be possible, right? Or is your 'brain' far more alien than I originally thought of?"

"We can simply just not do it, but... The Carbonados are still alive. It's still more ancient stuff that'd I need to bring out some time to look over, but... They were exiled. The first rebellion merely sent them away, into places we can barely find. Only found one, and it's in White's possession."

-Blue Diamond

"Hm. I mean, while we are capable of astroengineering feats impressive for our age, we can't exactly do anything to help you with that problem. I will relay this problem to the Executives and to my Director. They all listed you pretty high up there on the 'bad guy list'. And who are these Carbonados?"

"The Carbonados are... Well, I can't say much, because the others aren't watching, but... They're what you call "primordial deities..." Diamonds that could do things Gems today even cannot do."

[Universal Union of Panhumanity]

"Are you actually composed of diamond? And if so, doesn't that technically make you carbon-based lifeforms yourselves, what with diamond being an allotrope of carbon?"

[The Grand Diamond Authority]

"Are you actually composed of diamond? And if so, doesn't that technically make you carbon-based lifeforms yourselves, what with diamond being an allotrope of carbon?"

"Yes, yes. In a way, it does. Carbon breathers is what we mean by carbon-based lifeforms. Hence why we hold any Carbon auxiliary units that join us: they're like close cousins."

[Ameteurial Outdated Philosophia]

1. What do you consider to be the meaning of life?
2. How utilitarian is your society?
3. What is the nature of reality?
4. Would you consider a trade agreement with England?
5. Why is the picture of Yellow Diamond in your factbook so terrifying?
6. If a device was uncovered that equalized and mixed gem powers and size, and some of your subordinates began using it to promote equality, what would be your response?
7. Your factbooks mention a Cestus pistol, which has "24 shots till cooldown.", but how many seconds must it cool per shot?
8. What is your thoughts on religion, particularly religions of Earth?

"Oh boy, another list..."

"To do as needed, not very, there is no nature, Pearls for something fancy, ask her, take the machine for myself, 24 shot capacity with a 2 second cooldown, and then... Eh, it's their thing. Nothing for me to care about."

-White Diamond.

[Parcia]

Indeed.

Stupid question.


Would a High Yield Antimatter charge delivered directly to the core of a Neutron star contain enough energy to rip a hole in the fabric of time and space, and, if said star happen to be close to...say...you diamonds, be enough to suck you in to the void in between plains of existence, thus getting rid of the total and complete threat your kind poses to the whole of non mineral based life int he Universe?

[Eodor]

"How much do you know of the Irenton Empire?"

[Stellar Colonies]

"Does your kind require a certain environment to function in, like Humans do? Or can you survive in a variety of them?"
- Confederate scientist

[Edgy Generic Mary Sue Militarists]

Are your people edible, and do they breed in captivity?

[The Grand Diamond Authority]

"No."
-Another automated message.

[The Grand Diamond Authority]

And for ones I'd prefer to answer...

"How much do you know of the Irenton Empire?"

"Simply only the knowledge we've learnt from our encounters, and anything that isn't classified in your data. I remember once you said you hated the color pink, but that's all I can say about you and your people."
-Yellow Diamond

"Does your kind require a certain environment to function in, like Humans do? Or can you survive in a variety of them?"
- Confederate scientist

"Yes, all Gems can survive in every climate, environment, and the like. We've always been known for our extreme durability."
-White Diamond

Are your people edible, and do they breed in captivity?

"Eating a gem is not at all a very safe thing to do... If it's poofed, then it can still reform, and its size could... you know... Splat. And strangely enough, yes, there is a form of illegal cross-reproduction. It's... Gruesome in detail, and would actually infracture another few rules, speaking of stuff like that."
-Blue Diamond

[Omega Cyber-collective]

Since I'm assuming that a few of the races you, uh, curbed didn't go down without a fight, and a few of those might have had space fleets. Do you have space warships of your own?

[The Grand Diamond Authority]

Since I'm assuming that a few of the races you, uh, curbed didn't go down without a fight, and a few of those might have had space fleets. Do you have space warships of your own?

"Yes, we do indeed have multitudes of fleets: however, there's a catch. There's no true class to describe them all equally as, because they're all custom made by different Gems. The few that have been classified are usually what we own specifically. So that means each Gem ship is a wild-card operation, because they can really be any size, shape, and usually are made to the commissioners wants. Mine personally is a old arm-shaped "battlecruiser" designed to look like my own arm, as when it lands, it descends from the heavens to place me onto the surface."

[Tahinar Tribes]

"How you sustain military? It hard when not liked by anyone. Export cut. Big income loss. So how you maintenance military?"

[The Grand Diamond Authority]

"How you sustain military? It hard when not liked by anyone. Export cut. Big income loss. So how you maintenance military?"

"We're a self sustaining society. We don't need an economy in the first place, which makes our system actually flow much nicer. And because of such, our military is simply maintained by themselves. They're bred for their purpose. And they do it exceptionally."
-Yellow Diamond

[Xeophlensian Collective]

"The Gestalt is curious. We naturally see independent thought as being, we suppose, strange. The Gestalt sees that you lack any conventional thought patterns, and are alien compared to what drives even us. So are you all a fellow hive mind, or what?"

"Hive mind? No, not at all. We are much more of a simple straight thinking society. Every gem simply thinks so well alike, that it does seem quite connected. We've had our share of traitors, so if that isn't enough evidence, then I don't know what is."

-Yellow Diamond

"We suppose that explains it - though even the Gestalt loses control of our own drones sometimes. We can't divide enough attention to deal with all of our drones, after all."
"What is your solution to these traitors?"

[Parcia]

Would you be willing to allow us to retreat to an Alternate reality were you do not exist in order to allow us to thrive in peace?

I mean, we'er going to do it anyway, why not help us along and we can get out of each other's hair/crystal outcropping.

"What is your solution to these traitors?"

"Generally, we simply deploy a number of special forces, well equipped Agates or brutalizing Quartzes usually. That, or simply make use of them as corrupted beasts, possibly slattering them to make more Clusters. We're very prominent with recycling: a cracked or shattered gem has its uses."

This message could not be sent. Please allocate resources to send off messages of passive defeat to someone who'd want to waste their free time destroying you, like Megatron. The Diamond Authority is very busy.

Would the Diamonds support a union of Inorganic Life and Organic life?

Would the Diamonds support a union of Inorganic Life and Organic life?

"Only on specific conditions: we do have organic allies, just that some organics are... Violent. Very, very violent."

You could have, you know, introduced your selves, told us that rock was dangerous, we would have given it over with out bathing your pods in a few thousand rounds of rifle ammo, and a few 47mm shells. - Parcian military caption.
