The awkward moment when you keep getting large crushes on SU characters

They kind of just gave Greg a way to use warp pads, and he could just do it on his own.
I honestly did forget that, but that doesn't necessarily change much.

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.
Just because they have one doesn't mean they know how it works or how to make more. I wouldn't assume just making a specific sound was all it did either.

Do we know what Lapis' mission on Earth was? I know she was only supposed to be here a short time but do we know what she was supposed to do?

She didn't say why. If the war didn't happen so suddenly, I'd assume she was just suppose check out the planet...like a scout.

Since Lapis can manipulate water, and Peridot says that all Lapis-ses have an affinity for water, I'm guessing that Lapis was here either for terraforming, or possibly as a conscript for the war effort.

The only hint was that she came to "visit for a short time". Makes me think she came to meet someone or see the new colony.

The word "visit" also allows the possibility that Lapis was not there for an explicit mission, but was of a caste allowed freedom of movement, and she elected to go to Earth for some personal reason.

I'd assume she was just suppose check out the planet...like a scout.

Those both sound like long-term missions. (If scouting was such a short term task they would have already finished—enough to have built the Prime Kindergarten before the war started.)

I honestly did forget that, but that doesn't necessarily change much.
Assuming they know how to make more warp pads, like the one near the barn, and that they can make warp whistles, and if they decided to give that information to humans, that would change a lot just by itself. Would put quite a dent in the oil crisis, Connie brings up at the very least.

Reed Richards Is Useless is a thing though I guess.

My crushes keep happening because I'm a Hormone-Addled Teenager who's also pansexual and desperate and rejected by real people, so I just go to cartoon characters instead.

Yes she is. (wonders who her latest crushes are this time)

We do know the Kindergarten was made before the war, Eyeball Ruby says they were already mining a lot of high-quality video game rips... er, quartz soldiers already.

I wonder whether Gems have had civil wars before. In the absence of other advanced interstellar civilizations, I can't imagine any other reason for their society to be so heavily militarized, and even then, the fact that power in the empire is seemingly divided into a triarchy (formerly a tetrarchy) is something that would naturally lend itself to internal conflict as was the case with the Historical Tetrarchy, and it's difficult to imagine no rebellions occurring among the lower gem castes over a period of tens of thousands of years.

I don't think it was a coincidence that the rebellion happened under Pink. Having a single, new colony, plus the theory that she is the newest Diamond, she may have lacked the experience and logistics to contain it. Hence Blue coming it to help manage it.

Edit: The Hand Ship did have cages designed exclusively for Gems, in addition to the Gem destabilizers. Suggesting that they do sometimes have uprisings, but I suspect that they're always easily stopped, with Earth being the exception.

Of course. You can't be easily stopped if you run away before you start attacking.

@Silent: I'm more curious whether there would be any infighting between the diamonds, you know, the kinds of power struggles, plots, and occasional civil wars that typically occur in the Deadly Decadent Court of The Empire.
