It's been ten hours since we heard from them, something isn't right. The captain thought to herself. "Captain! Incoming transmission from the unknown ship! Shouted a soldier, "Play it" the captain said calmly.
On the ships screen it showed a frantic peridot on it. "Captain! We have made contact with a unknown enemy, and it has killed all the Quartz guards and along with the other Peridots. I'm the only one left!"
"Slow down, what happened?" The captain asked. The peridot seemed however, to be in a panicked state, "it took them, it swallowed them into the darkness." She said with tears in her eyes. Before the captain could say anything they all heard something, even through the transmission they heard something like a door blasted apart and then they heard something else

The Peridot was lifted up into the air and pulled out of view but they still heard her pleading for her life, "please, please, I'll tell you anything! I'll help you repair your ship!" But all she got in response was breathing. They all heard the peridot scream in pain before she was silent. The figure then walked in view.

"What..what are you?" The captain asked, there was no response and the the transmission was cut off.
"Contact Yellow diamond, and tell her this is urgent." That's all the captain simply said as she made her way out of the room.

Gem sector: 2229

"My diamond, we have a urgent message from gem ship 44-A." Yellow Pearl said, "Play it Pearl" Yellow diamond said. The message then played on a screen. My diamond, this is citrine captain xx-kdj, we have encountered a unfamiliar force and should be considered hostile, I had a scout party dispatched, all of them were killed by a unknown enemy, we discovered the ship, they were in our sector, the ship itself is 19,000 meters long with a impressive arsenal, we were lucky to find it in damaged condition. Along with this message I have sent the images and recordings of our findings, I aslo would like your presence here to help with the situation at hand. Yellow diamond read and watched the reports with astonishment, the ship itself was a marvel in military technology. It boasted more weapons than even a diamond-class ship. Then, she and Pearl saw the video were the peridot begged for her life and her brutal end. Then she saw it. A dark figure in dark armor with a plasma sword of sorts. The breathing it made at least told Yellow diamond that the being was alive, instead of some spirit. It stood there in the transmission, not saying a single thing, just a unsettling stare then the captain asking it what it is. Then the transmission cutting off.

"Pearl, prepare the ship, were going to these coordinates." That was all Yellow diamond said before and during the trip to the location in space. Yellow diamond's ship finally arrived and was soon joined by the gem ship that sent the message. The two ships connected so that the captain could speak to Yellow diamond. "My diamond, we have attempted contacting the individual on the ship for a while now and still no response."
"Hmm, then I shall contact it, I will make sure he has no choice but to board our ship." Yellow diamond said,
"My diamond, are you sure it is wise bringing that thing aboard?" The captain asked. "No, but should it attack we would have it outnumbered." Yellow diamond answered.

SSD Executor
What strange beings, their physical forms do not seem to be organic, it seems their gemstones are also a vital spot, I will need to remember that, Vader thought to himself as he stood in the bridge of the Executor, one of the Empires most powerful warships and now it was badly damaged. Vader
was annoyed by the situation entirely, the SSD was even damaged to the point where Vader couldn't contact any other Imperial ship. Vader used the force to crush a chair in frustration, perhaps I should have taken that beings offer, no. She alone wouldn't have been able to repair this ship and I doubt she would have understood the tech of this ship. Besides they didn't seem to have the highest opinion of humans.
Vader had followed them all the way to the bridge, and had listened to their conversation. It seems these beings did not recognize a imperial vessel, which told Vader he was in a unfamiliar place in space. And for some reason, they were astonished that humans had access to this kind of technology, surely had Vader been in the same galaxy they would have known humans have had this kind of technology for at least thousands of years. Vader noticed the device the green creature had used in desperation to contact it's allies was glowing again, he had ignored it earlier but for some reason, something in the force was telling him to answer this call. As if the call would change his life.

Yellow diamond's ship

Yellow diamond sat there patiently, along with her Pearl and the Captain.
When it seemed hopeless the screen then shot up, there it was, the being in dark armor, the being that had slaughtered an entire gem scout squad. The feat was almost unheard of and this of course gave the air in the diamond ship a layer of tension.
"So, you are the one that has sent my gems on edge?." Yellow diamond said, Vader didn't speak but simply nodded.
Good, at least he understands galactic basic. Yellow diamond thought to herself. "Tell me, what is your name?" Yellow diamond asked, "Darth or Lord Vader" He answered. Yellow diamond nodded and even noticed his voice was mechanical. "Well, Lord Vader, I am Yellow diamond of the diamond authority and I would like to speak to you in person to discuss your situation." Yellow diamond said.
Vader weighed his options and reluctantly accepted her proposition.
Vader was told a ship would be in the hangar area shortly, Vader nodded and the transmission ended. Vader made his way towards the hangar area and shortly after getting there a ship had landed.
