They already know why one ship isn't returning, the Peridot told YD what happened.

Rubies are dumb, I'd probably assume they just got lost.

Also surprised that YD gave up on the cluster so soon. She seem to really want that weapon.

What I find a more interesting path is if, perhaps during the course of a small scale Homeworld "invasion", Steven and the Crystal Gems (or perhaps even just Steven) are abducted and taken to Homeworld or one of the Diamond homes. And from there we get our first face-to-face conversations with the Diamonds, or at least Yellow Diamond. With the ultimate endgame being the spread of Crystal Gem ideology throughout the empire, resulting in large scale changes beginning in Gems across the galaxy.

I also expect this to happen. I'm not necessarily counting out a full invasion, but it strikes me as the sort of thing that would be the series finale, or at least a final season arc.

Oh God! Natural light!

Who says she gave up? She probably just assumed that it's going to eventually hatch on its own and solve the problem itself. As far as she knows, Peridot is alone, and she couldn't have stopped the Cluster by herself.

Peridot blew up. Jaspee is MIA. There are unknown rebels destroying HW tech. YD doesn't know when the Cluster will hatch. Everyone on Earth is shattered. The Rubles showed up too late.

That about somes it up.

yah But in Message Received she said "I want my cluster and I want that planet to die" So she wants the cluster. I would think she would send more ships to drag it to wherever she want it to be, Earth getting destroyed is just a side benefit.

Yellow has no way of knowing everything's gone to shit for her. She doesn't know that she's getting no Cluster, or that Peri is still alive (and not threatened by said Cluster), or that the rubies fucked up and are now floating in the depths of space, or that even if they did everything right Jaspy is in no state to give information or otherwise be of service.

As far as she knows everything is going splendidly.

Others I hope to see is: Lechatelierite ( I can see this being more a fusion) , Tiger's-eye, Jade, and Pyrite.

We're probably not going to get a Jade by that name. Judging by Bismuth's offhanded reminiscences, this show differentiates between the two minerals commonly referred to as jade: nephrite (Bismuth mentions a Nephrite pilot) and jadeite.

Yellow Diamond hasn't even confirmed the Crystal Gems' survival.

(Dramatic Irony would require us to see things from her viewpoint.)

[up][up] Aw I forgot :\ Damn I wouldent mind seeing amber as an earth gem but I think it would be impossible. Jet would be neat. so would Grandidierite, Musgravite, Chambersite, and Zektzerite. one thing they have in common is being super rare.

I wonder what they did with The Grasping Hand. That thing wasn't exactly a Ruby ship.

Ruby ships don't have brigs.

And also Peridot whined enough to get a battleship and a Jasper escort.

So I wonder, for a colony would the planet have to have life? I mean I think they would mine rocky Barren planets for ore and such to build ships, weapons, and buildings. But for growing gems? I assume it needs a planet with life to "make life". I mean I assume since during roses rebellion the diamonds seem to have a small amount of planets under their control.

And the cluster, for that many gems are they made up of crystal gems?maybe there was a purge in the diamond armies for failing to defeat the crystal gems and saving the colony? or maybe there were other rebellions, during or after the war?

Most gem technology doesn't even turn on unless a gem touches it. If there's a way around that, it would be quite complicated, possibly even beyond what Pearl or Peridot can handle in a reasonable time frame.
Am I the only one who remembers the warp whistle? They kind of just gave Greg a way to use warp pads, and he could just do it on his own. It wasn't that complicated, then.

I think the bigger issue is that most gem technology the humans could find is in ruins.

How does one figure out how warp pads or the warp whistle work? They don't.

Those don't give you that answer to the mystery. Only an alternative way for them to function.

If they made it they can explain how they did, and how it works. Doesn't really even seem that complicated, it just activates the warp pad, by making a certain tone of sound. Not really a big mystery.

Now, they might not understand more recent things, like how the Ruby Space ship works, but some of the more simple stuff they could probably give them some direction at least. Just enough stuff to make people's lives more convenient.

Now, do I think they would want to do that? Probably not.

I wonder if the warp pads are tied to a specific location or whether you could dig up the pad and place it somewhere else.

A more interesting direction to take it (rather than the government demanding it), would be for them to patent, some of the more simple gem tech, that they think would be safe for humans to use, and just make big bucks off of inventing stuff.
