Like I said, the colony plans were shut down! I was just there to check on the fusion experiments and the Cluster. The Diamonds wouldn't send just two gems to take an entire planet, that would be moronic!

[neveroutwrenched]

okay but you're still acting like this was a viable plan, like if they hadn't gotten in your way you could have carried forward with whatever the heck it was your homeworlld wanted to do with the earth!

[peridork]

I'm not ACTING like anything! All I'm telling you is the objective truth, like you asked! It WAS a viable plan, thousands of years ago, but the Earth Colony initiative has been long since abandoned. There's no point in attempting it again NOW.

[She's getting seriously angry now.]

You know this is exactly the problem with you organics? You're getting pointlessly hung up on events that have long since passed simply because your emotions tell you that you should, and you're disregarding the fact that there's absolutely no way that an organic like you or a single peridot like me could out-think the most logical, reasonable, objective decision-maker in the universe!

[neveroutwrenched]

[Even though he can tell she's getting defensive, it doesn't keep Ratchet from getting any less angry back at her.]

So what? Emotions don't make someone wrong anymore than being logical automatically makes someone right!

I have a hard time believing your perfect leader was making OBJECTIVE decisions about someone else's planet. Or even taking into account what the people living there wanted

[peridork]

[And to think, this all started simply because Steven showed up. Peridot definitely didn't go into this conversation expecting to have her most fundamental believes questioned so aggressively, but here they both are...]

Well fortunately, she doesn't need your faith, because the total absence of that kind of blind, meaningless bluster is exactly what makes her objectively better than the rest of us.

I don't understand what else you want from me, Ratchet. You asked your questions and I answered them to the very best of my ability. If you're just going to use the information I've given you to try and argue with me about nebulous, emotion driven morals, then you're wasting both of our time because I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT forsake the gem I was created to serve.

[neveroutwrenched]

okay fine. youre right. you did answer my questions.

thanks.

[Ratchet immediately turns off his MID, not waiting for a response, glad he'd chosen to initiate that conversation in text form or else his response would have had no possibility of being taken as anything other what it was.

He'd worry about how he was going to deal with this later.]
